    I could see both men winning this, favouring Lewis myself but there's great competition in this bout. The Lewis that fought V.Klit was clearly out of his prime and fat, but could Wilder expose this Lewis?

    Could one of Wilder's right hands knock Lewis out?

    Could Wilder take one of those uppercuts Lewis hit Vitali with?

    I can see how Wilder could win but until he's tested against Parker, Joshua, Fury...I'd pick Lewis.

    Nah..
    Lewis is too experience and skillful to get caught with wilder wide punches. He will set trap and expose wilder technical deficiency.

    Wilder would go longer than Grant did, but he gets KO'ED late.

    This wouldn't be close. That Lewis would ko wilder inside 5 rounds.

    It's just a bored thread, I understand that, I do it myself sometimes.. Lewis would take Wilder now ! Prime he be gone in 2. No waiting about, just pure simple rapage Golota style..but the fans wouldn't want it just as much as Wilder wouldn't want it. It's not a fare fight down to levels. I don't think Wilder would be strong enough to even spar regular with lewis

    About the same weight I would say Adrian Lewis hits the jackpot right off the chin and as the fight would be in Alabama with an American ref wilder struggles to make The count of 180

    The oldest, fattest version of Lennox would stop Wilder in probably 2 rounds.
    Look at what that version did with Vitali, whether you thought Vitali was winning
    or losing the fight, Wilder couldn't take anywhere near the punishment that Vit
    did. A slightly fragile chin vs. one of the hardest HW h2h hitters? Nah.

    Lewis was old and fat as you stated and beat a prime vitali who head to head would be a complete nightmare for any other heavyweight that ever lived.
    He was knocked out twice in his career,both times by hail mary punches bang on the button,and both times thru complacency.
    Wilder has beaten absolutely no one of note and has struggled with szpilka,molina and washington amongst others.
    Only complacency could beat lewis vs wilder.Ruddock,mercer,morrison,holyfield, vitali,tucker even a faded tyson all have fair very favourably against wilder let alone lewis
