    The reverse is also true, Lewis never faced anyone like the Easton assassin. Lewis only chance is to outbox Larry because if a fight breaks out I've seen Larry climb off the canvas to win , Lennox? no,,,,

    I'd never bet on this one but - gun-to-head - Holmes would be the Hail Mary pick.

    I’ve got it totally the other way. Lewis is not going to win a chess match here, but he might blow Holmes out if he really goes for it.

    You saw Holmes get off the canvas? Against who? A fatigued, one dimensional Shavers & limited, light punching Snipes?

    The thing is people are discrediting Holmes for being floored but atleast he comeback and won we can't say the same for Lewis. And it's not like McCall or Rahman are great fighters either.

    Would 2000 Lewis knock out Holmes (Tyson fight)?
    Holmes enters the fight after two defeats against Spinks and 21 months of inactivity.
    You can also choose Lennox from the fight with Golota or Briggs or whatever you want.
