    Sure DW could catch LL and get the ko but thats like a less than 10% chance. LL too big, too strong and simply too skilled. He destroys DW and knocks him out.

    Where's the Wilder ducks Lewis option, because that's the most likely outcome.

    But if it somehow did happen, Lewis usually fights bigger men by taking the fight to them. Lewis KO's Wilder in 1.

    thats fair, wasnt necessarily trying to single out wilder. i think joshua and fury have the ability to maybe pull off an upset or two against prime versions of that list but for the most part, bet the farm coz its a safe bet.

    Lennox Lewis one of the best heavyweights ever against Wilder?

    Yeah I think Deontay would knock him out inside a round....

    I don't see how Wilder takes the punch of Lennox. I think it would go one or two rounds. I think Lennox knocks out Joshua also in about 5 or 6. and Fury? That is a good fight.

    There was two sides to Lennox,on an off night it's not ridiculous to suggest that Wilder catches him with a bomb?That said if Lennox was on his game then Wilder wouldn't have stood a chance.

    If he could get him in the ring it could be a 1 rounder definitely, realistically though, the fight never ever happens

    Whatever Lewis has been saying last year or so I may not agree with all of it but he's still possibly goat heavyweight that blows Wilder up in early rounds every time

    I appreciate as much as I dislike Wilder, he's the best instinct fighter in boxing with the worst fundamental skill. Every opponent has been superior in terms of skill and lost/draw which sadly and amazingly are facts.. .

    There would definitely be upsets, probably from some we would least suspect. One certainty, that list will grow but, IMO it’s too early to tell who from this era may someday be on it.

    LL is the big favorite and if a sharp and focused Lewis comes out throwing with bad intentions, he should stop Wilder inside 4 or 5 rounds.

    Both of Lewis's knockout losses were single shots he didn't see. Lennox never lost a dog fight. It's a myth that Lennox's chin was bad. He's stood up to a hell of a lot of solid shots.
