    Personally I think Lewis starts slow in rd 1, picks it up in rd 2, and then Stewart yells for him to step up before Lewis stops Fury in round 4.
    Michael Grant and Fury present the same type of opponent to Lewis. :yep

    Probably lasts the full 12 rounds.
    He might even win the decision.

    Depends, because Fury would fight off the back foot I don't really see Lennox pushing for the knockout.

    Probably goes the distance in a pretty boring one-sided fight.

    :lol::lol: Possibly, if Lewis was 59 and came right out of retirement.
    Otherwise, Fury outboxing Lewis is akin to John Malone out rebounding Shaq. :rofl

    :lol: That being the case, Vlad and Vitali should fair just as well as Fury, although I doubt Fury is half the boxer as Vitali. :smoke

    I think fury "could" last into the 4th and possibly beyond. Really depends on how LL approaches the fight.

    What we all know is LL would engage fury which most likely would put fury in a flight or fight scenerio. I think fury would fight and LL would get him at some point.

    Fury hasn't had the opportunity to show me what kind of fighter he is. Cunningham put him flat on his behind, but it was a Calzaghe type kd. Just a flash kd, fury got up quick and I don't think he was hurt at all. More embarrassed than hurt. What would happen when LL lands clear on him, jury is still out

    Lennox Lewis is very overrated.
    He'd find someone like Fury very very awkward.
    He didn't exactly do an awful lot with Mavrovic, a smallish slim heavyweight.

    Guys like Grant and Golota were just big mooses, stood there waiting for Lewis to tee off on them.

    I had troll polls like that. Go away.

    And for the record, I regard LL as the best H2H of all time. That said, let's see how Fury's career goes. It's gotten off to a great start. If he becomes a dominant champ and retires undefeated after 5 years, he'll have established himself as the best H2H.

    Height and reach wise, yes. But Fury is a lot better than Grant especially with superior footwork. Having written that, I like Lennox in a lopsided boring decision.

    I think Lewis would win, but it's hard to know exactly how. He could pull a Grant on him, or it could go the distance. If I had to guess I'd lean more towards the Grant scenario, if for no reason than the vast difference in experience between the two. As Merchant said, even Vitali was learning on the job, against Lewis and the fact is, seasoned veteran's such as Lewis, Holyfield, etc. learn tricks in the ring they can use when needed.

    Lol! I like Fury, he's good for heavyweight boxing, but it's no way he goes to the distance with Lewis. With all the **** talking Fury does Lewis would come guns blazing and take Fury out fast, same way he took out Grant&Golata!

    It wouldn't be a violent KO!

    A lot of these answers are really bad. Anyone calling for a decision win by Lewis over Fury is way off base. Did you learn nothing from Wlad Fury? Just like I said heading into that fight, if Wlad wins, it will be by ko. If it goes to decision, it will be Fury. Fury can use his height, reach, and athleticism superbly. Lewis has much better power and probably better chin. Lewis would probably win by ko by being aggressive, but no chance at decision. He'd be smart enough to anticipate that and would go all out for the ko, as he typically did to taller fighters.

    Yes, at this point it is just a good as Stiverne's but a few defences as good as Wilder's.

    Lewis KOs the large lump of fat in 4:yep

    Sure troll, beating Arreola is just as good as beating Wlad. Suuuuurrrree.
