    Technically, didn’t Holyfield fight his pro debut at LHW? Obviously that version of him would have to have been scraped off the canvas after a fight with Lewis, but if we can use a former LHW…

    ok, to be real, I’m going to take Bivol, give him ALL the PEDs, and toss him in there. He’s not going to have a war — no LHW is surviving a war with a SHW who can crack, that’s absurd — but maybe a roided up Bivol could win some rounds and be frustrating.

    yeah what? Bivol is a speedster. That’s what he’s got. Speed, hand and foot, fast reflexes, great chin, great recovery, high ring IQ. Doesn’t have **** for power. But speed? He’s blazing fast.

    My point exactly. Lewis is going to look slow against him whether or not Bivol is slower than freaking SRR or not. I wouldn't bet a plugged nickel on Bivol vs Lewis in a longer fight, but I reckon he could win a short one.

    Qawi was smaller than Frazier and Lewis was bigger than Foreman.

    How do you feel Bivol`s speed compares to a prime Roy Jones` speed then?

    Can I see a lightheavy testing Lennox Lewis?

    can I see Lennox existing as we knew him in an earlier timeframe where 15 rounds fights were the norm? Absolutely not.

    I watched his entire career unfold. Fight by fight. Let me tell you you, he could not have existed as we knew him in an earlier era. Impossible.

    Wow, Lennox Lewis is a tall order for any light heavyweight in history, no pun intended. I don't think any of them would be able to beat him, although I do agree that guys with good legs like Tunney could make it frustrating at times. Or somebody more unorthodox like Michael Spinks with his strange rhythm, maybe he could last the distance?

    You are aware that a large percentage of Lewis`s fights ended before the final bell right? Most light heavies would be stopped by Lewis who punched far harder than any 175 pounder.
