    Lol Tyson Fury dude? You Tyson Fury fans are like Mike Tyson fans and Rocky Marciano fans. Totally clueless. Fury is a horrible boxer, has poor stamina and a poor chin. Tyson Fury would run from Lewis like he did from a old washed up Wlad. The difference is a prime Lewis was faster, stronger, has a better foot work and would catch and destroy Tyson Fury. Dillian Whyte would get knocked out quicker than a old Alexander Povektin did Frankie Sanchez has done none of note besides beat slow hype job Efe Ajagba. Lewis would smash Sanchez too.

    Lennox stopped Vitali in 6.

    Lennox beats Fury.

    Holmes has a decent chance.

    Haha. I love it when people say that. A nice way to skim over the fact he lost to two crap opponents.

    Yep.
    Twice to crap ones, when he was rated at the top of the division too. it disqualifies him from consideration in the historical elite, as far as I'm concerned.

    Difficult guy to beat but is beatable. Ike Ibeabuchi would have beaten him in a great fight.

    Land a solid shot on his suspect chin. A couple of second-rate HWs turned that trick.

    At the time Lewis was a chinny British/Canadian bum-bashing hypejob and evidence for why the 90's sucked: bombed out by two clowns with one punch, which has never happened to a reigning HW champ before or since. His best win by far was late sub contender Vitali, who was giving him the business before the cut stoppage, also outboxed by the poor man's AJ Frank Bruno before his chin and engine gave out in 7. Fought to a draw by the 90's answer to Derek Chisora. Couldn't stop 10 of his 44 opponents: washed Ocasio, Billups, washed Tucker, McCall 1, Mercer, vegetarian Mavrovic, old Holyfield 1, old Holyfield 2, Tua, Rahman 1 and never stopped an opponent after the 8th round, strongly suggesting that his stamina/pacing was lacking. According to his own trainer, Lewis was a less athletic, less intelligent, less powerful and generally less skilled but less cautious Wlad Klitschko, also less experienced and tested than Wlad because he never fought a sniper, southpaw or 6'3 mover.

    Lets be real Lewis probably got to his mother at some point the way he talks about Lewis.

    Heard about him saying Lewis was scared of Bowe :risas3:

    The news papers most definitely got it backwards where he lives

    Wilder will even telegraph his jab and won't take Lewis' lesson on positioning his hands closer to his opponent

    100%

    The guy had competitive fights with old holyfield (despite having advantages in size and reach), he cautiously boxed fat Tua (depsite looking nearly triple his size) KOd hypejob Grant and robbed Mercer.

    People like to act like he's underrated. But he's an overrated and a cherrypicking highly opportunistic bum basher
