lennox lewis vs 3 boxers

Tyson
Foreman
Ali

I think Tyson stops him in Mike's prime, I think Foreman-Lewis is a 50-50 type fight, could be a very entertaining slug fest. I think Ali is too fast for Lenny.

 

I think that Tyson was too small for Lennox. He would have a punchers chance against Lewis that's for sure, but Lewis would be the favorite of course. Prime Foreman would be too inexperienced and the late 80s version would be too old. Either way Lewis has the edge in my opinion.

I would definitely like to see Lewis vs Bowe at early 90s.
The other 2 match-ups would be the Klitschko bros.
Late 90s Lewis versus 2008 or 2004 Vitali. That would be a bomb.
And ofc late 90s Lewis versus peak Wladimir in Germany.

 

I have to agree with this post. I Would looove to watch lewis against everyone you mentioned.

 

LL wins all three of these - maybe 1 or 2 with relative ease.

For example vs prime MT, once LL got through the early rounds I see a similar fight to their real bout. If Douglas could beat a young MT so could LL !

 

Yes for MT - in the early rounds After that it's downhill for MT.

Agree w/your prior post. Only that I think LL beats '92 Bowe much more often than not.

 

the most difficult styles for Lewis are...

Holmes: Lewis wins on points in a tough fight.
Vitali: Lewis stops him, but the style of leaning back and having a long reach causes problems. don't think it'll end with cuts again. a KO by the 9th would be on the cards i think in a tough fight.

Lewis beats the **** out of Foreman in 5 one sided rounds.

Lewis wins by domination over any version of Ali. Ali didn't have great boxing ability. to suggest he does is the biggest lie in boxing history.

Lewis destroys Wlad in 1 or 2 rounds. a pointless fight that i never had interest in when HBO were trying to hype it. miss match in the extreme.

Tyson would cause problems in the first 4 rounds due to rushing Lewis, but Lewis gets his timing and beats Tyson to death and stops him in 10 or 11 rounds.

 

Lewis could arguably beat anyone, ever..

The best chances I give against him are,

Ali
Tyson
Holmes

of course there are always chances he loses by KO, as happened.

 

The slimmer, younger LL had a habit of getting into brawls. Like Ali before him, the best LL was the one slightly past his prime, slower of feet, but more experienced, relying on his jab more. So like Ali, Tyson, and Foreman, there's 2 versions of LL.

I think style-wise prime Tyson ko's a prime LL.

ALI has too much head movement and footwork for LL to jab or land cleanly he'd be forced to go after Ali who would counter him with rights.


I think had they fought 2 years earlier Holyfield could of beaten LL. Holyfield was already clearly declining you could see that in the Vaughn Bean fight.

 

That for sure was an ATG fight we missed..

I think Lewis would have won, but it would have been hell for him.

 

Riddick Bowe
Mike Tyson
Rocky Marciano

Sadly the two top fights could've been made but boxing politics as usual.

 

Tyson would blow lewis out prime vs prime. But overall by the record, of what was actually done, lewis might edge out tyson.

I'm not really sure, I have a good idea of who lewis would beat like larry holmes vs who he'd lose to like joe louis or jack johnson or ali

 

Lewis vs Tyson- Lewis comes through the first few rounds and then starts to outbox Tyson, Tyson then feels sorry for himself and is reluctant to go barging in and excepts clinches by round 7 he is pretty much ineffective and the sheer size difference begins to show with Tyson not being able to get on the inside. Lewis gets him out of there late on about round 10 or 11.

Lewis vs Foreman- Just to shut the people up who go about Foreman being able to destroy Lewis. Lewis was a much better boxer with a lot better technique, he was bigger, a lot more accurate and had a better jab. I actually think this fight is the easiest for Lewis.. 4 round blow out.

Lewis vs Bowe ( 93 )... If Bowe would of took the fight like he was meant to then this wouldn't be on this list and I would of put Ali. But cos he **** out I have got to put it on the list, think Bowe would of caused him some problems but I think Lewis threw more accurate, faster, and cleaner punches.. I think Bowe comes unstuck once Lewis finds the range on the outside. Lewis in 8.

 

Lewis V Foreman - After taking a ton of shots Foreman catches him round 6 KO
Lewis V Tyson - Tyson gives him too many probelms,Tyson is just too hard to hit for such a big man that Tyson wins a UD or KOs him early
Lewis V Holyfield - Holyfield UD,keeps coming on and on and gets stronger later rounds for a stoppage or close UD
