    As we know, Lewis was brutally KO'd twice by lesser fighters. Does a prime Corrie "The Sniper" Sanders have a shot at defeating him?

    No.

    Lewis would have destroyed Sanders.

    But he was embarrassingly KO'd by two fighters who do not have the power or speed of Sanders. Sanders doesn't have a chance?

    Sanders would have a puncher's chance. But he'd have to hope to KO an unsuspecting Lewis early. If he lands big shots but can't get Lewis out of there then he'll get Lewis' respect and probably get a beatdown for it

    You're trying too hard.

    Of course he has a chance, but given that Lewis was by far the better fighter in pretty much every department I know who my money would be on. Sanders chin wasn't stellar either so lets not think he could just take a Lewis right hand to land his own punches. My opinion is that if they did fight Lewis puts him to sleep.

    A prime and disciplined Lewis, no..
    The Lewis who fought McCall, maybe

    A chance, yes, because Lennox's Chin was shaky and he could be hurt by good punches. It is slim, however, because their Boxing ability doesn't even begin to compare and Sander's Chin was Pure Glass. If he didn't land hard and early he would be stuck on the end of that jab all night and would be ended by a right midways through the fight.

    Yes. That's why Lewis avoided him.

    The Lennox who turned up in South Africa overweight would be in trouble .

    A focused Lennox for me was the only second to Ali . They guy was very special.

    This.

    Lewis had some of the heaviest mitts in the business (all-time). His jab is world reknowned, but he had arguably the greatest right cross as well, bar Louis.

    The best Lewis beats the best Sanders.

    I don't like the agenda of the thread.

    A thread with an agenda.

    Barring a lucky punch, Sanders has no chance.

    Anyone who said NO is a complete MORON.
    OF course he could have. F! Rhaman beat that ass with a KO.
    This isn't a WHO YOU THINK WILL WIN. It is simply asking COULD HE. OF course he F!n could.
