So in my eyes the best version of Lewis was the one who squashed Golata like a bug. How does he do against Anthony Joshua Tyson Fury Deontay Wilder Dillian Whyte Kubrat Pulev Alexander Povetkin Luis Ortiz Oscar Rivas Agit Kaybeal Adam Konwacki I don't think it's implausible that he goes 10-0 with 10KOs.
I'd say Lewis was better than any HW around today. No doubt he'd have a few tough fights and it's not inconceivable that he might drop one, but he'd be the favourite in every fight and rightly so.
Whod you think he could drop one too? I think him vs AJ would be an instant classic, Fury would do well until Lewis introduced him to the clinch then let him leave with the Uppercut. Wilder gets stretched in a round or 2.
KO's all but Fury and AJ. Wouldn't rule out him KOing AJ though, but think points win more likely. Fury the most problematic owing to his awkwardness, but I would still fancy him to get the decision.
Lennox goes 10-0 8kos. How he fights, I don't see him stopping a prime Povetkin and I think Fury would be on the move and wouldn't be stopped but would lose a decision as Lennox has superior foot work.
The obvious guys that might get a W over Lewis are Fury and AJ, but Wilder and Povetkin could possibly too. LL could lose focus sometimes in fights and losing focus against big hitters like AJ and Wilder would be problematic. I'd still see Lewis as the favourite in all of them but, it's possible.
If Lennox was a prime heavyweight today, and not of 90s.... you'd all be saying he gets stretchered by Usyk or Hunter
Whats your issue with Hunter? You used to sound off in a similar manner about Uysk He is a good addition to the HW ranks
Lewis was so successful in the 90s and early 2000s because of his physical advantages over smaller fighters like Bruno, Holyfield, Tyson, Mercer, Rahman, McCall, Tua. The one time he fought someone who was bigger (Vitali) he didn't dominate as he usually did. Would his jab clinch tactics work against taller fighters like Joshua, Wilder, Fury?
The leader AJ went life and death with a 41 year old Wlad. I'm pretty sure LL can KO him in mid rounds. Wilder is just **** with power. Fury would loose a UD. His resume is pathetic.
LL would loose to all 3 fury, aj and wilder. The end of the day lennox was a weight bully just like the other 3 with the differente that he wouldnt be so tall nowadays
But it was AJ's 19th fight only and he still beat ATG (albeit washed up) while Lewis in his 19th fight went full distance and couldn't even hurt journeyman Levi Billups, who retired with 21-22-1 record with 10 KO losses. Hell, even Chris Byrd knocked down Levi Billups really hard: This content is protected
Lewis beats all decisively. 10-0 8KOs. Biggest threat would be Fury, who I think he outpoints but Fury causes alot of problems If Wilder connects it's all over but I think Lewis can control and stop him. Think Ortiz vs Wilder except when Lewis lands on Wilder it's over. Konwacki goes the distance but losses a boring chess match.
You could say that Lewis went life and death with Mercer and got knocked out by McCall and Rahman and couldn't knock out Holyfield.
