Not in my opinion. I think a motivated prime Bowe takes him, not to mention others like Ali, Foreman and Liston.
Bowe would be KO'ed by Lewis, Bowe avoided all the dangerous punchers of the 90s. And never showed he could deal with an elite boxer boxing him at range, a prime Bowe struggled against shot versions of Tubbs, Biggs, and a still rated Number 1 Heavyweight in the world Bowe was annihilated by Golota.
Holmes, Ali, and Lewis beat him. I’d even give Usyk a good chance at beating him, there’s a reason Fury doesn’t want that fight
Lewis was a SHW in an era of regular HW's. That speaks for itself. I only look at his resume against other SHW's. I judge him by the likes of Bowe. Sanders. Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko. He won against Vitali but His resume is too thin after that. He at least deserves to be in the conversation like the rest of them.
Rather disrespectful to a modern great. Lewis was tough, vicious, incredibly physically strong, a 12 round fighter, with a lethal jab, could throw every punch in the book, had a great boxing brain, and losing in the heavies is no disgrace, let's be honest, Fury dodged a bullet in Wilder 1. I wouldn't count him out against any heavyweight in history.
He also beat Michael Grant who was 6'7, Golota who was 6'4, Akinwande who was 6'6, Tucker who was 6'5. And how many fighters did Wladimir beat of his own size or Vitali ?
But 90% of this forum also claims wilder is trash. So how is Fury against a guy 90% of the forum sees as trash be the best heavyweight ever???
This is hilarious. A guy who dodged a bunch of fights and hasn't beaten one top notch fighter who was even close to prime is the h2h atg?
This is a bit over the top. He never really avenged his loss to McCall. He couldn't even put a dent in a guy having a drug induced breakdown in the ring.
