How many more losses would Lennox Lewis have if he fought these 5 fighters?

Evander Holyfield. Lewis wins on points close fight (1st fight clear Lewis win,watched that fight in New Orleans even the Yanks could'nt believe Holyfield got gifted a draw. 2nd fight lot closer).
Ike Ibeabuchi. Lewis clear points win as against Tua ( made it look easy).
Corrie Sanders. Lewis by late stoppage, Sanders was a puncher but limited.
Mike Tyson at 33. Lewis by late stoppage, similar to actual fight. Tyson from 1986-89 Lewis on points smothers Tyson in close, keeps him at distance with jab and overhand rights.
Vitali Klitschko. Lewis on points even late stoppage, Klitschko could not avoid out of shape Lewis's right hands so how would he fair any better in a 2nd fight.
Only time Lewis may have been beaten would be alia Rhaman and McCall mental lapses/lazy underprepared and then only by power punchers Sanders and Tyson.

 

ike has no more than a handful of world class wins, but the real bottom denominator is IF you are including old corrie sanders, who would be an unranked retiree. IF you mean prime sanders, then clearly he wasn't more dangerous than rahman (who iced him on the way into contention) or mcall (who actually acheived top contention).

he opted to retire, as had over 95% of all hw champs on reaching his age or less. u r wrong, the stats are right. never try to argue with more than 95% of the evidence, as it makes you insignificant.

they would be better, but so would lennox be better for both of them.

 

Why would he not be a favorite against all of them?

He beat Vitaly while seemingly underprepared, no reason to believe he'd fare worse when he had a point to prove.

He'd always be in good shape for a showdown with Mike and no reason to believe that the younger Tyson faded more between 2000 and 2002 than Lennox did.

He'd also be in shape for Holy and I just think he has too much for any post prime Evander.

If Ike or Sanders catches him on an off night, like Rahman and McCall did, of course they can score the KO. But in most cases Lewis will beat them. No reason to think otherwise.

 

Loses the Vital rematch, but beats everyone else.

 

Holyfield and Vitali at those stages are basically 50/50 fights.

Ibeabuchi may be dangerous. He threw A LOT of punches, all of them with mean intentions. And he had a beard sturdy enough to take Lewis punches. We may see a replay of the Mercer fight, with the busier, more powerful Ike in comparison to Ray winning a decision or late stoppage. Lewis didn't like pressure.

Beats Sanders and Tyson.

 

1997: Take out Henry Akinwande sub in Evander Holyfield, who would be 34 for this fight. Lewis drew with Holyfield in 1999 when he was 36

Loses by SD

1997: Take out Andrew Golota, insert Ike Ibeabuchi.

Wins UD ala Tua

2000: Take out Frans Botha, insert Corrie Sanders. Sanders would be 34 years old for this fight.

Not sure on this, but 03 vs 03 Lewis loses KO.

2000: Take out Mike Grant, insert Mike Tyson who would be 33 for this fight.

Wins by UD ala Tua

2003: Re-match with Vitali Klitschko 5 months later.

Loses by KO. No repeat of dirty boxing win, full camp Vitali destroys him.

 

I'm on that wave length, Ibeabuchi is the biggest question mark, but from what evidence I have available, I can't pick against Lewis. I will concede he may have dropped one more, although unlikely.

 

Guess you missed the first Lewis - Holyfield fight, too bad, it was a good one.

 

Maybe you missed it. He drew in 99, was probably a loss to Holyfield, but I'm banking a fresher Holyfield edges him SD.

 

Sorry I didn't realize I was having a discussion with Eugenia Williams.

 

I think the 96-97 version of Tyson has a good chance against lenni. Needs that one big shot to the face. If he can deliver the combination which he did against Bruno in 96, it is a repeat

A focused Lewis beats them all. No contest.

 

Agreed.

 

if this is another kliturd thread to put down lewis , surely it also puts down vitali for getting beat by older lewis.

 

Take your disespectful stench elsewhere, jackass. You know nothing.
