How would a scheduled 12-rounder between Lennox Lewis and Joe Frazier look?

    Lewis was no Foreman. He would never be that aggressive. Lennox Lewis was a boxer first and foremost. He do all he could to keep Frazier from getting close. If a knockdown came good but be wouldnt force it.
    The most likely result is a Lewis win by decision.

    Unless Joe's vicious body attack brings those hands down...Ali clowned when he fought him, and Lewis had a reeealll bad tendency to clown (to his utter detriment).

    Lewis is not winning a decision. I can't even see this hypothetically. If he wins he's gonna have to force a stoppage.

    Lewis would fire at Joe from the outside
    1 or 2 punches then either retreat or smother him with his size and weight. Frazier is gonna have a hard time getting and staying in range.
    Like I stated before Lewis is no Foreman but there is more than one way to skin a cat. Lennox would use more finesse and RING IQ.

    Frazier way to busy for Lewis and would push him to a pace he's never been at and make him very uncomfortable. I don't think anybody (except possibly Dempsey and Louis) could beat Frazier at his own game.

    That could happen if he is able to get Lewis back on his heels. Joe would have to survive some heavy stuff to get inside. Lewis doesn't have to land as much as Ali did.
    Your right in the sense that Frazier would keep boring in fighting to Win not survive like Tua and Tyson. The opportunities would be there for Lennox Lewis.
