    This is a serious thread,

    I personally pick Lewis by (T)KO, but maybe anyone would pick Sasha by KO or Lennox by points?

    Lewis' strong sides: tall, strong, hits very hard, great finisher, has very good jab, great straight, hook and uppercut.

    Sasha: great handspeed, combination puncher, tough as hell, good chin, hits hard.

    Take them at their best.

    Lewis from Golota or Holyfield 1-2, Povetkin from last 4 fights.

    Good fight, but Lennox is to crafty to lose to Povetkin.

    Would go just like the Lewis vs Golota or Botha fights. No question, Lewis KO early.

    Lennox Lewis is the most flawless heavyweight who destroys everyone in 2 rounds or less. Unless he comes a cropper of the proverbial lucky punch.

    Seriously though Lewis like Wlad is a level above Povetkin. Lewis UD.

    Rofl, come on man.

    Lewis would bash his face up into smithereens in the early rounds and knock him out in the mid rounds

    Lewis beat the great Vitali when he was out of shape.

    Lewis' only real weakness was his complacency. He losses stemmed from over confidence. Would he underestimate Povetkin? That'd be Sasha's only chance IMHO.

    A motivated, switched on Lewis makes light work of even the best version of Povetkin.

    Povetkin would do remarkably well to go beyond six rounds. Huck had him hurt, Wlad almost had him out but smothered his own work when he went to finish him. Lewis wouldn't do that, being better at closer range, he'd KO Povetkin without too much difficulty.

    Lewis also struggled with Mavrovic, Akinwande, Briggs but then again ESB revionist theories are obviously blurry.

    Lewis would win but he isn't stopping Povetkin early, infact outside of Holyfield and Vitali Povetkin would be Lewis' best win.
