Fury v Lewis

Lewis win by KO early to mid rounds.

 

Haha, for some reason I imagined you frantically typing that out as fast as possible

 

Very difficult fight for both obviously. I do think Fury would cause problems to anyone, but I also think Lewis would be very focused, sharp and eventually land the right enough times to win this one, possibly with a narrow but clear margin after 12 rounds, or a late TKO 10-12. I can't see Fury flooring Lewis for good, and Lewis was big and strong enough to get to him. I can also see Lewis trying something like he tried against Golota and Grant, full offense early on. But I would give Fury a 35% chance which is way more than I would give to anyone from the last 25 years except perhaps 1997-1999 Holyfield.

 

Fury causes Lewis a lot of problems early but Lennox will catch him late on and stops him with a barrage of shots with the ref intervening around the 10th.

 

Wilder had success landing his power punches especially in fight 3. Lewis isn't as fast but his timing and accuracy were excellent and he had plenty of KO power of his own. He was also a flat out better boxer with more than 1 big punch in his arsenal. His body jab which Wilder used to upset Furys rythem early in fight 3 would be useful and he would be able to handle Fury much better inside than Wilder did.

Fury's height and reach might upset Lennox who didn't face many taller opponents and inside Fury might have a physical edge which again Lewis didn't face often.

Based of quality of opposition I lean towards a narrow Lewis win but its a pick em fight where a good case can be made of either

 

Lewis by KO for me. Fury is number one now but I think the quality was better back then.

 

Fury can cause problems for any heavyweight but his lack of power would eventually be his undoing. Lewis walks him down and gets the win.

 

Fury's size, speed and natural talent would make life very hard for Lennox. I just don't think Fury would want to engage, rather like the Klitschko fight'
The peak Lennox would jab more hurtfully than Fury and would walk him down quicker and harder than the ageing Klitschko was able to.
Lennox after 9.

 

Lennox KO.

 

Lennox would knock him out. Don't know which round, but result would be the same.
If you would put Fury trough Lennox' resume in order, there would be quite a few losses.

 

Lewis by stoppage. His considerably superior power and accuracy would tell in the end.

 

You think?

 

Lennox Lewis was starched by McCall and then Rahman in his prime.

Both mediocre opponents.

People can't bear to admit it, but Fury is definitely better than Lennox Lewis, as is Oleksandr Usyk. Usyk would make a fool out of Lewis.

 

Fury would make it ugly for a while but Lewis would suss him out eventually.
