    Lewis does about how he did.

    Fury may spoil his way the distance or even win a decision. Probably loses though.

    Joshua is gonna get that chin tested. Good fight, I'd say Lews wins.

    Ortiz gets whammed.

    Miller gets turned into a punching bag the further it goes.

    Wilder gets it bad.
    Resounding stoppage which highlights Wilder's shortcomings.

    It isn't unthinkable for him to lose, maybe by unexpected freak KO, but he probably comes out okay.

    They all challenged for versions of the title,in an era in which you claim it was easier to get a title shot because fighters did not have to prove themselves to get one.This blows a hole in your statement and is therefore obviously very relevant!
    ps You never supplied the names any of those beat to earn a title shot,which of course I knew you wouldn't!
    Here's some more undeserving challengers who never proved themselves against ranked opposition in the era you say it was harder to get a title chance in.
    Pianeta
    Wach
    Thompson
    Leapai
    lol!

    And that's just the beginnings of an explanation for why today's division is shallower and easier to become ranked and get a shot (or be unranked and still get a shot)... .. .

    not one of these guys would get a title shot in lewis era. Which is kinda emphatic, given Thompson is one of Wlads "outstanding" wins.
