Lennox Lewis versus Current Crop of Heavyweights

IMO, a prime and motivated Lewis beats any heavyweight in history. He was a great boxer when he wanted to be, had a ramrod jab and sledgehammer right cross. At 6’6”, 245lbs he was a true super heavyweight. The knock on Lewis was that he could get complacent, as he did with McCall and Rahman, but the rematches showed who was the best. Along with Marciano the only heavyweight to have defeated every person he faced- and Marciano, as much as I love him, didn’t show the longevity against better opponents like Lewis did.
Remember how Riddick Bowe dumped his WBC belt in the trash can in one of the most blatant ducks in history? Wilder would not only throw his belt in the trash can but would jump in it himself.

 

Agree with the majority on here. Lewis beats them all.
Does a demo job early on the big boys like AJ and Wilder.

 

Lewis would be favoured against each but if he faced everyone listed I would be surprised if he went 6-0.

Approximate chances:

Joshua 40%
Fury 30%
Ortiz 15%
Wilder 10%
Parker 5%
Povetkin 5%

Maybe he wasn't world class, but really comparing him to Wach? He fights nothing like Wach, he was far more agile, had faster hands, threw a nice compact left hook and could also throw punches when moving on the back foot. Wach was always garbage, big and slow, Mavrovic would of beaten him with ease.

 

Lewis would knock Wilder easily, he would knock Joshua out, would beat Parker by KO, TKO or UD................

 

I wouldn't make any of the current crop a betting favorite over Lewis but any of them would have a chance of beating Lewis. IMO Joshua would have a better chance than Grant did and Grant actually landed a decent right hand on Lewis, so did Mavrovic and obviously McCall and Rahman did land show stoppers on Lewis' chin.

 

Despite Lewis was 6''4 with an 82 inch reach.

Idiots like yourself will believe that.When the Man Bloody says he is British i dont know how you can argue with that.He has never said in his life that he is a Canadian.He had to Rep Canada in the Olympics because he wasnt allowed to rep Great Britian as he no longer was a citizen their.He dosent live in Canada he lives in America and travels with a ......wait for it.....A BRITISH Passport as he has publicly stated

 

Wach is not garbage at all. He is a guy that will go toe to toe with anyone, Mavrovic would not even be in the top 5 of guys he's faced. Mavrovic who's best win is an 8 rounder on Julius Francis that Maskaev and Vitali did in two rounds.

 

Mavrovic bares no comparison to Povetkin at all. Povetkin's resume is littered with real top names, and an Olympic gold. Mavrovic literally fought nobody except Lewis who he went life and death with.

 

Wach has a good chin but that's it, that win over Francis is probably better than anything on Wach's record. What's Wach's best win McBride, Teper? Probably Hammer as he beat Teper. But Hammer was a novice then only had 8 fights including a loss to Wach's 21 fights and Hammer is not even as good as Francis. Wach is garbage he's not even C level.

 

Your post is garbage more like. Ask Haye about Wach who he sparred dozens of rounds with at the same time Wilder was dropped on his ass.

 

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Did Haye ever spar Mavrovic to compare, obviously not, you're pulling out terrible comparisons to make your statement that Wach and Mavrovic are similar seem remotely feasible.

Mavrovic was undefeated going into the Lewis fight and did enough to make a superior fighter like Lewis look less than stellar, winning 3 rounds. When Wach got his chance at the elite level vs Wlad a fighter many don't rate as highly as Lewis, he couldn't win a round, even with the assistance of steroids. Wlad was made to look invincible because he had one of the worst opponents he's ever had to defend against. Only Pianeta and maybe Leapai are worse on Wlad's resume. Wach was and is garbage.

 

Undefeated against no marks with plenty red on their lists. Face it, your hero went life and death with a guy who was at best a euro cherry pick. Wach would do no worse than Lewis against him so by your logic he must be garbage also. Thanks for making my point.

 

wach is shyt beyond belief.
