    Lewis by brutal and possibly career ending Knock Out!!!

    Fury has good movement for a big man which often gets mistaken for ring IQ, that’s not to say he isn’t a smart boxer because he obviously is but he’s no genius in the mold of Ali or Lewis.
    Fury also lacks any semblance of genuine power which for a man of his size is surprising.

    Lewis was a genuinely high level reader of other fighters strengths and weaknesses, he adapted his tactics to suit AND crucially he had the tools to fight in any way necessary.
    He looked at Ruddock and knew he could walk in and blow him away, same with Golota, Briggs & Grant. He looked at Mercer, Tua, Holyfield, Tyson etc and knew he needed to work behind a jab and use movement.

    Fury hasn’t got the power and therefore doesn’t have the options that Lewis had!

    So, I’ll repeat
    Lewis would destroy Fury inside 2 or 3 rounds and do it in such a ruthless fashion that Fury never fully gets over it!

    Hard to say as Fury may not have even hit his peak yet.

    You are following the wrong sport

    Lewis never beat anyone as good as prime Fury let alone in 2 rounds.

    Fury has between 1 & 3 fights left in him depending on results and money

    I think Lennox would knock Fury out personally but we will never know.

    And Lewis came back and beat both of them which you seem to be sweeping under the carpet.

    Lewis beat unorthodox Vitali. I saw it clearly on TV and everything.

    and they’re contestable!

    Klitschko was stale and bored, he fought like someone totally disinterested, as such he deserved to lose but let’s not rewrite history here. It was the worst Heavyweight Title fight in living memory and the Wlad that fought that night was the worst version of either Klitschko to ever step in a ring.

    Wilder was always poor!
    An over protected myth who hadn’t fought anyone of note before cherry picking Fury! (Oops)

    If they’re Fury’s two best wins then how the hell can anyone compare him with Lennox Lewis!!!

    As good as Fury is there are levels. Lewis wins in five rounds.

    Lewis still wins in my opinion. Different calibre of fighter compared to someone like Wilder.

    Wilder would have a shot at knocking Lewis out it’s all about styles. Slick fury could win but not tonight’s version

    Lewis, I’ve been saying Fury is overrated
