    This. Lewis also had a much better reach than Vlad.

    Out of 25 fights 15 have been stopped within the first 4-5 rds not to shabby and I'm pretty sure he could have stopped Wlad and Crisora if he stepped on the gas

    Yet he had no problem with the 86 inch reach of Akinwande or the 86 inch reach of Grant and once again this is a prime for prime match up not prime Fury vs one of the worst versions of Lewis and even that version of Lewis could beat Fury. Fury maybe able to withstand being hit with one of his own measly uppercuts but no way he takes THAT uppercut Vitali absorbed.

    I agree.

    He could hold and lean as well as Wlad and did it alot when with Steward. He wasnt as quick in his feet as Wlad either. The fenting and movement Fury has and used against Wlad would give Lewis nightmares.

    In time after a few more wins it will sink in with people how good Fury is. Hes just besten an all time great in Germany easy and people are treating it like it was a fluke! It was pure skill.

    Lewis struggled with a lot less talented fighters than Fury, especially fighters who could match or out jab his own jab.

    Plus besides Grant who was too inexperienced and chin, Lewis struggled with the big men who were similar size or taller in Akinwande and Vitali. Being involved in an ebony *******ual wrestling match with one (plus getting dropped) and being behind and losing to the other.

    Now throw into the mix Fury's height, length, speed and overall awkwardness and I think Lewis has a fight on his hands.

    It's too early to say Fury would win as he needs to go on to prove more other than beating an ATG 40yro, maybe his career may just prove us wrong I hope he does.

    Prime Lewis wins tko10

    38yo Lewis loses on points.

    Golota is one he'll of an overrated fighter of the 90's.

    Best win is against a 41yro Withespoon or Orlin Norris, lost everytime he stepped up and both Brewster and Austin bombed him out albeit he was ancient when Austin did it.

    Golota whilst a good boxer was never destined to be great. A good win but on reflection on Golota's career was it really that great?

    Well, Lewis probably, but Fury could give him a tough fight.

    He would and an unbiased look through Lewis' title defences and besides Holyfield and perhaps Vitali and Fury would be Lennoxs best opponent.

    Lewis. Not even close. Fury doesn't have the power to hurt Lewis, isn't as skilled and potentially has a glass chin up against one of the hardest punchers of all time.

    Lewis. Better timing better speed better movement. Better inside and outside.
