Present-day HWs against Lennox Lewis (2002) ?

As I said I don't think they would be favorites against Lewis, but to give some of today's elite fighters a 5% chance vs. Lennox is ridiculous. Then the same classic forum guys give Joe Louis a 75% chance to beat Lennox. It's idiotic.

 

fury is a prospect who got lucky.

povetkin has never proved himself at world level beyond amateur.

klitschko was destoryed in seconds by a guy who was retired from the lewis era in which he couldnt contend.

 

LL beats them. I guess that Ortiz would have the best chance to land a lucky punch.

 

What made Lewis so good aside from the long right hand was his infighting abilities.
Not a single big man in the top ten today can hang on the inside with prime lewis.

No but Joshua is the best current HW imo and a lot of other folks opinion as well.

 

I think King Kong has the best chance of those mentioned. Especially in the first half of the fight. I could see Lennox taking him lightly, coming in outta' shape and showboating and then getting KTFO. He comes back and avenges the loss, of course.

Could see the same thing happening with Wilder but less likely.

 

"todays elite (hw) fighters" ha.

even the top ones arent elite

 

Fury : 30%
Klitschko : 60 %, wlad is a faster, taller and more powerful version of lewis with a weaker chin, better jab, better right hand, better left hook, faster hands and feet and better clinching
Haye : 10 %, punchers chance
Wilder : 0 %,pure ****
Ortiz : 10% never proved himself, slow.
Joshua : bruno 2.0, green as grass 0%
Povetkin: 30% tough fight for everyone, great inside fighter, great chin, crazy stamina and very powerful with a great olympic pedigree

 

Good post

 

Ortiz is one of the oldest and the most unproven from the entire list you realize that yes?

 

Some guys are talking some much dumb stuff. Ortiz who never fought anyone is better than klitschko or fury. Wtf? Wlad proved himself and no one should ever doubt him. He lost im a stupid fight against an akward 6.9 agile and fast heavyweight. Lets See the rematch and yes fury is the real deal. Klitschko has all the Tools to beat fury

 

I agree about Ortiz, he's done ****** all to be even compared with an old faded Wlad or his conqueror Fury.

I'd disagree about Wlad having the tools to beat Fury. He can't out box Fury, who is too tall and too agile. Wlad's footwork has always been over rated, his feet are quick in short bursts but his actual movement is very limited and predictable. He's never shown he can cut off the ring like he will need to do to pressure Fury.

Wlad's jab is also now a mere shadow of it once was, he can't out jab Fury, which means he can only win by getting inside and he's never had the upper body or head movement to do that and never had the inside skills even if he could get inside. Wlad will need to add to his repertoire to beat Fury, what he has shown us so far isn't sufficient, if it had been he would of won the first fight.

 

Based on what though?

When he beats a guy who's top 15 then I'll start to concede.
