Hypothetically If Valuev was as good as Lewis could he lose H2H? (READ OP)

    So “ Werelion” Valuev gets all of Lewis’s boxing ability, the limitations of his frame are unburden, no bad knees or joint issues … Supreme commander Nik gets Lewis’s speed, his power all the pros but retains his chin, size and strength who has the best chance in a one off encounter?

    He’s get over-confident at some stage & be made to pay.

    Not a career hypothetical, just a one off encounter. H2H can anyone?

    That makes it harder but anything can happen. I’m not familiar enough with Valuev. How proven was his chin?

    I'm giving Holmes, Bowe, Fury, and Ibeabuchi the best chance at winning this, but I'm not sure this is physically possible without classified PEDs.

    I’d say it’s very good, many would say it was his stand out attribute next to being a skyscraper.
    I wouldn’t go as far as saying it’s McCall or anything but he isn’t getting axed by anyone and with all the layers of Lewis’s defence I don’t think he’d get hit often enough to be stopped.

    Size doesn't improve performance beyond whatever boxers weighed when I grew up.

    Holmes is a very good choice, Werelion Valuev’s weakness might just be speed but that reach and if he gets inside…

    The 70s.

    The whole 70s. The decade steps into the ring and beats Valuev.

    The Werelion Valuev should still be made the favourite if only slightly.

    Shaquille O' Neil with Holmes' skill.

    With Bowe’s inside fighting skills, if he can keep close, maybe he would have a shot at eking out a close decision?
