Crazy thing is… Paul would actually have a shot! Lol One haymaker with everything he’s got. I can definitely see dumbois walking into that.
likely outcome is KO of the decade where Dubois drills Paul into the canvas face first so hard that the canvas has an indent shaped like Paul's face in it.
Yes. If Lummox fought trilogies vs 50 legit punchers the Lummox Rule dictates that it would be impossible for his win total to exceed 100 wins so he would be, at absolute best, 100-50-0 with those 50 losses coming via one punch HL reel KO or TKO
Depends if by legit puncher you mean someone with legit power, or someone with power who's a legit fighter. Either way, unproven prospects have neither proven they're legit OR that they have legit power - so no, no way does Itauma or similar have a 35/65 chance against Lewis. It's not impossible, but it's exceptionally unlikely... I wouldn't give Itauma even a 5% shot yet.
The Lummox Rule is very real Whether or not anyone believes it would apply to an inexperienced young prospect like Moses is a different discussion. I concede 2-1 might be a stretch as of now but 3-1, 4-1, 5-1 etc. is certainly not out of the question
A fringe contender with proven punching power - yes, Lewis could occasionally lose by KO... So, say, a Zhang, Wilder, Joyce, etc - yes, those sorts of guys have an outside chance even if they'd lose at least 2 out of 3 without any doubt at all (it's not like any of them are significantly better than Rahman was, for example). As for unproven prospects like Itauma, or past fighters like Pricey before his first loss - no way, it's just not remotely the same thing.
I have to give it to Itauma; he is prime entertainment and I will always tune in to his fights. Not least because of his explosive power, but also I want to see if mandibular fragility is hereditary and if he has been unfortunate to inherit a glass chin just like his brother. If he can take a punch and his gas tank is there then I think the sky is the limit for him given his skillset; big if however.
