    They get to fight alternate rounds to ensure they're fresh.

    Yes, he would knock out Mike and Robert pretty quickly in rounds 2 and 3. Jerry might go the distance but since he has to fight every round beginning in round 4 I believe he will take the ten count somewhere around the ninth frame.

    Depends a lot on the rules (and how they’re enforced) … if it’s tag-team style, do they get to double-team for a while like in wresting during the transition? Or what if it’s tornado tag team style where guys are just going out willy-nilly like luchas, where you’re never sure who is the legal man?

    And are the Quarrys sneaky enough to do the tag that Lennox doesn’t see, so he knocks out the non-legal man and thinks he’s won and then Jerry blindsides him.

    Not to mention, is Lennox sharp enough (with Emanuel Steward working up the game plan) to cut the ring in half and work over one Quarry while he can’t get to the other side to tag in a fresher brother?

    It all comes down to one thing:

    The better question is could he not.

    Yes while usually boxing several fresh guys is much harder, the size difference would be prohibitive against a highly skilled SHW.

    I voted yes. If Lennox Ldwis can take them on one at a time, as the OP said, he definitely wins. If all three Quarrys are allowed in the ring at the same time, it gets interesting. Handicap matches like that can sometimes be tough in any combat type sport, even against inferior opponents.

    Let’s just stick to Jerry, who performed well against big lumps. It would all depend, if Lewis would be taking it seriously. Remembering his excuses after the McCall and Rahman losses.

    Well, it feels a bit uncomfortable and somewhat unseemly to support the obliteration of a whole boxing family but yes, I can see the size advantage, boxing skills and power of Lewis enabling him to pull this one off.

    When the smoke clears, will Lennox be credited with just the one victory or X 3?

    Have Mike and Robert not try to win, just try to do everything possible to make Lewis tired. Do this successfully for half the fight, 3 rounds for each man, then send in Jerry. Might get interesting with this strategy.
