    2 of the best HWs to ever come out of England.

    How does Lewis do against Fury's size, reach, and footwork?

    Watch Lewis vs Golotha. Lewis came out like a gang leader to destroy.

    Too soon. I need to see Fury get more wins before picking him over Lewis, who had a complete arsenal when it came to offense.

    As of right now, I'd favor Lennox Lewis.
    Perhaps Fury can show us more of what he's got, but from what I have seen thus far, Lewis is the superior.

    Lennox Lewis was brutally knocked out by Hasim Rahman and was also stopped by Oliver McCall, but of course many on the forum will just sweep that under the carpet.

    Nah, not swept under the carpet. Two big flaws in his resume. Winning the rematches helped to a large degree just like Fury removed the question mark next to his controversial win against John McDermott for the English HW title by stopping him the second time they fought...

    Lewis by a devastating Grant type ko..Fury's chin is poor (He was knocked down by featherfisted and heavyweight
    nobodies like Pajkic or Cunningham).Plus a very skinny version Wilder could knock down him.

    Fury needs to beat some strong fighters to prove he can hang with the best.

    And both are better then Wilder.
    McCall would eat Wilder for breakfast.

    I do agree he has been dropped by shots that most heavyweights with a decent chin would laugh off but at least he has great recovery though. I think he has a balance issue and any half decent shot he doesn’t see coming or mentally brace himself for will put him down.

    Lewis couldn't deal with unorthodox Vitali. Imagine trying to deal with a taller unorthodox, slick Fury. Fury on points and maybe late stoppage
