How would Lewis do vs movers?

It depends on the man. But I believe that he'd still do fine against em, though likely would have hard fought bouts against guys like Young, Thomas, Page, and otherwise. It all depends on if you're talking about true movers like them, or so called slicksters like Tubbs and Byrd who could get measured and roughed up real easy- Not to take a lot away from em.
More trouble with guys like Ali, less trouble with guys like Walcott.

 

Biggs (not Briggs) was known for his movement, & Lewis walked him down fairly easily.

Thomas couldn't even outbox Coetzee (he was lucky just to get a draw IMO) so I certainly don't see him getting anything going vs. Lewis.

Tucker loses to Lewis even on his best day IMO.

Fury is the one fight that I think would be interesting given Fury had immense size to go along w/ his movement. But I'd still favor Lennox to overpower him in the end.

 

I've always thought that he, like some other big heavies such as Joshua and Fury, would struggle with smaller faster men like Ali, Holmes and Usyk. I think he has an easier time finding the bigger movers like Fury though.

 

Lewis definitely flattens Fury.

 

Holmes & Ali would, conversely, struggle with Lewis themselves.

 

Great. Lewis would make the ring super small with his calculated style and he has an insane game at long range, being at the end of his 1-2 is a bad proposition. He would be difficult to outjab even though you could run away. Plant your feet and you are right in his perfect range to fire upon. To beat Lewis you need toughness, size, power and will. Even Mercer and Mavrovic who lost in good fights had these dimensions. I don't see someone like Chris Byrd giving him too many issues, especially with that immaculate right of Lewis which could come straight or around the guard. Fury would be too big of a target, there is too much size to move on a guy like Lennox who could track him and smack him up. I don't think Usyk would win either having seen him hurt vs. Fury in a very close fight.

 

I don’t know about size being a pre-requisite to beating Lewis if we’re talking about the very top echelon of fighters. That probably does apply among the movers specifically, though.

 

This is a good question since I don't recall Lewis beating any really slippery types. Off a hunch I reckon he'd be OK but you just never know.

 

The only thing Ali would struggle with is deciding which round to finish Lewis in

 

Usyk was beat up and hurt, it was a good contest but 8-4 feels fair on the wide side. Lewis also walked Briggs down laughing in his face eating his punches, too. 50/50 fight is really overrating Usyk. If Fury is touching Usyk up, after so many benders and mental breakdowns, hurting him, I don't see how he would fight Lennox close. And to win, Usyk had to dig and begin throwing power shots. So that fight doesn't really apply for me, as if he stood there and banged with Lewis he would get knocked out.
