Prime Lennox Lewis vs. Prime Oleksandr Usyk, who wins?

Not Cap, just saying you predicted Usyk to lose against AJ and Fury and was wrong both times, I think you'd be wrong with Vitali as well.

Lewis smokes him though.

 

Razor Ruddock says hello.

Really dislike that narrative.

A prime Lennox Lewis facing a Tyson who won his heavyweight titles seventeen years earlier beat on Mike for eight rounds and Tyson kept trying to land his punches. Buster Douglas wailed on Tyson for ten rounds, Ruddock for nineteen and Tyson didn't "fold"

He kept coming trying to land his shots. He won some he lost some.

 

Lennox Lewis would win all day every day and twice on Sunday.

 

Usyk lose.
Steward would find a "recipe" for Usyk.

 

We simply don't know if Lewis has the defense to deal with a fast southpaw left hand. So a 50-50 fight for me.

 

I change my vote.

Lewis beats Usyk.

 

I don't know where people get this silly myth from that every opponent was scared of Tyson and that anytime anyone ever stood up to Tyson he lost it's utter nonsense.

Tillis, Tucker, Bruno 1, Ruddock 1 & 2, all gave it a good go vs Tyson especially Ruddock who hit Tyson with bombs for 12 rounds that would've KO'ed 90 percent of Heavyweights.

 

It's Teddy Atlas nonsense that spewed forth from his mouth during his appearance on Joe Rogan. Casuals and those who seek to discredit Tyson took it to heart.

 

As good as Usyk is Lewis would be too big/good,Lewis is more powerful than Fury and if Fury can land on Usyk so could Lewis. Lewis has two defeats on his pro ledger to single shot thunder bolts from out the blue that would have done the same job on 99% of every other Heavyweight fighter like they did to Lewis,Usyk does simply not possess that kind of one bang power.

 

Have you seen Usyk’s left cross or anything like it??? Because lewis sure as hell hasn’t! Because he NEVER fought a southpaw. ESPECIALLY one like Usyk.

Also I’d wager that Oleksandr’s footwork will be the best lewis ever saw. And let’s be honest, lewis was not very fast on his feet or agile. Big, strong, followed his ATG coach’s instructions really good, really good power, yes a really good uppercut! But so did Joshua! And equally as hard too. Usyk came outta that just fine.

Yes lewis was an extremely good boxer. But the guy gets overrated a bit much imo. Many go on about him like he was this unbeatable force. He was beaten by lesser fighters than Usyk.

I’m going with Usyk by a very competitive UD. To have Usyk as your first ever southpaw opponent… pfft! Lol GOOD LUCK!

 

Usyk's left hand is at least as powerful as McCall or Rahman's right and harder to read and defend against due to southpaw factor.

 

Never fought a Southpaw ? Gregory Gorrell Lewis 6th fight

No, it is not as powerful. Rahman, specially, could really hit.

 

Usyk schools Lewis.

 

I will agree with Usyk’s left hand being harder to read and defend against but Usyk has never shown one shot power like the punches that Lewis lost too .
