I know Lewis has a lot of nostalgia fanboys, but the timing is right now for people to admit this. Oleksandr Usyk is simply a better fighter than Lennox Lewis. Since the Usyk detractors can’t ever find an active boxer who can beat Usyk, they’re digging into the past to find an opponent and claiming, “This guy would beat Usyk.”, very often the name Lewis comes up. Yet..Usyk is the better fighter, better athlete with better achievements. Undisputed three times in 2 weight divisions. Never lost a fight, never been dropped. Completed the entire boxing game, whilst being undersized at heavyweight. Very possibly the greatest boxer of all time. If Lewis was as great as people claim,why did he retire at 37 to avoid the Vitali rematch. Whereas Usyk thrives at challenges like this, and hasn't slowed down at age 38. Lewis wouldn't land anything clean on Usyk . Usyk is a totally unique fighter and Lewis hasn't ever anyone faced anyone like him, he wouldn't know what to do. A southpaw slickster mover with an unstoppable engine would be a very hard night for him. Usyk could beat him a number of ways. He could hurt Lewis, and also exhaust him. Usyk exhausts every fighter he faces. And remember Lewis did not have good conditioning. Usyk's speed, skills, ring IQ, movement, brilliant footwork, intelligence, slickness, elusiveness, defence, elite skills. would all cause the much slower Lewis huge problems. And then you add in Usyk's crazy engine, heart, will to win, mental toughness, solid chin. He has everything to cause Lewis nightmares. Usyk has never been dropped and never really been hurt and he the best at adapting of all time. Lewis would not be able to land clean to KO Usyk, and he would not be able to outpoint a guy who has a much better workrate, speed, boxing skills, and stamina .. Lewis' would gas badly in the second half of the fight Lewis is nowhere near the champion and man Usyk is. Lennox would get schooled by Usyk!!
@Undisputed x3 Don't get me wrong, Usyk is an ATG fighter no doubt about it. But, Lennox Lewis was certainly better than Fury, and certainly much better than AJ, and Dubois.
