    How do these matches go?

    Do both guys beat 2003 Lewis?

    Lewis does what he has to do and wins. Joshua would get destroyed like Grant did. Fury would look a little like the Vitali fight but with Lewis landing more and getting the KO quicker.

    tbh 'grant' ...... the only one who i would say "does what he does and wins" is fury as he is undefeated but get yr point... interesting post,

    Joshua defo does get battered up as he is not a top level guy ...

    Fury can outbox or KO 2003 Lewis in so many different ways but Lewis has punchers chance.

    The Lewis who beat Klitschko ? Prime Fury beats him on points and prime Joshua is 50/50

    Gut feeling is Lewis knocks out both unless either can find a Rahman or McCall punch before he gets to them. The Lewis era was miles better than the previous 10 years in the division.

    No need for scorecards in either fight.

    Lewis knocks the pair of them out in my opinion. Fury has a chance given his versatility but Lewis was too powerful and had too good a jab in my opinion. No way Firy trades with him and if he’s on his bike he might Nick rounds but the era Lewis was in is night and day with this one. Lewis irons AJ out, hard to make any sort of case for a AJ win

    Lewis beats them both, Joshua goes pretty similar to Golata when LL puts it on him from the first bell, Fury gets stopped late on by his corner or the ref with his face a bloody mess.

    Düsseldorf Fury takes Lewis twelve and goes either way, Lewis winning six out of every twelve fights, Fury winning five and one being a draw.

    Twenty stone gypsy TANK Fury, this doesn’t see twelve, someone’s getting stopped, Lewis four times out of seven and fury three times out of seven.

    Any version of Joshua QUITS after the first pawing rangefinder jab Lennox sends out there.

    Lewis in 2003 was far from his best. Joshua would still be put over but Fury for sure would stop him.

    Battle of the greats, would be a cool fight. Usyk vs Lewis also, and Joyce vs Lewis would be great.

    Lewis would toy with AJ.

    Not sure about Lewis Fury. Split decision either way.

    Agree ref Golota /AJ, but Fury would also go early. Middle rounds tops.

    Prime Lewis beats both of them. 2003 Lewis still beats AJ and still think he could beat Fury as well. I know you shouldn't compare era's but the heavyweight division was way better back then than it is now.

    I'd like to see how Fury would cope going into the last three rounds knowing deep down that he's lost at least 6 of the previous 9.

    Yeah possibly re/fury, all depending on the frame of mind LL is in, he blew hot and cold but knew when a serious threat was in front of him he came to fight and engaged in it also, and he could have a fight/tear up, some people forget that, but thinking about it yeah he gets the stoppage but late on for me, but i would not rule out a Golata beatdown early on TF.
