    Lewis KOs Joshua mid rounds or Joshua blasts Lewis out early.
    Lewis annihilates Wilder.
    Lewis KOs Parker late after working him over
    Lewis KOs Fury or loses a decision
    Lewis KOs Ortiz mid rounds
    Lewis KOs Povetkin late

    He's underrated because he repped Canada in the Olympics and idiots dont think he's British

    There's a few versions of Lewis Fury could out box , like the Lewis of the Tucker and Vitali fight.

    He'd lose to the Morrison , Briggs , Rahman II era Lewis.

    No other HW from 2003 would finish the fight on their feet , let alone win. :car:

    Imagine Haye vs Lewis :confundio1:....:ambulance::ambulance::ambulance:

    Lennox beats them all. He's one of the top five heavyweights of all time.

    Angler and Ras have valid points. Lewis at his tip-top best was awesome, but he didn't always perform at that level, and if he put in a stinker against a guy like Povetkin or Joshua, he might well lose.

    LL is a league above all these guys, it’s like amateurs versus pros. Tommy Morrison would of cleaned house with today’s heavyweights.

    Povetkin is a level above Mavrovic.

    Probably, we never really got to see what Mavrovic could after Lewis, due to his poor health. Mavrovic was a good European champion, beat couple of Brits in Julius Francis and Clifton Mitchell. Maybe he was just another Euro level fighter, maybe he was world class, impossible to say.

    He was a very similar type to Maruisz Wach who Povetkin dismantled. Never world class.

    I agree with all these except I think Lennox UD Parker.
    I think how sturdy Parker is and the power, Lennox would box
    and jab and stay safe.

    Although Joshua and Wilder are big bombers, Lennox had
    a habit of going in and demolishing other bombers that
    he felt weren't sturdy and he could get rid of.
