So this is the guy you say it would just be another day in the park when facing Deontay Wilder?

    Fury could only drop him with a punch to the back of the head and by tripping him over, he gave him a pasting but couldn't finish him. So I would say his chin and heart are decent.

    I think Wilder woud KO Lewis in Shannon Briggs kinda awesome trading of punches. But then again Lewis could win that too. Anyway would be a match I would buy

    You are doing exactly the same. And Fury is garbage, he ain`t Lewis level. He is miles behind him.
    Loses are loses, its there to learn from them, exactly what Lewis did.
    They did not hurt his legacy, even a bit.
    Maybe in your eyes, cause you are trying to downplay him, but in everyone who understood the sport it won`t.
    And you can`t compare this to this guy from totally different era.
    Lewis actually HW vs Ali actual CW ....

    Boxing fan should lower their criteria about loses.
    Just because you lose to a lesser fighter, that somehow don`t take all of your skills out of the picture. It happen.
    Both Nadal and Federer during their prime has lost to so much lesser opponents, is that lessering their status? Nadal lost to Robin Soderling at RG, a guy no one gave a chance to even get this far, forget to beating Nadal and so ....
    Yeah its a different sport, but its just the fan in boxing that are dreaming about that mythical fighter that is all mighty, has no weakness, and is 100% unbeatable, and end up with 0 in his resume. Yeah this could happen if you fight nobodies like Wilder.
    Or like Fury fight here and there top fighter, and the rest of the time spend in coc...... and fighting truck drivers ....

    Don't lie, he didn't eat clean punches from Tua. The rest of the four you mentioned are not big punchers. Vitali stopped his opponents on accumulation, Holyfield was borderline featherfisted, Briggs knocked over absolute bums.

    Briggs is far from a big puncher. A fast and erratic puncher, yes, but that is it. It was only effective against poor opposition.

    Wilder would have an outside chance at landing the Hail Mary on anybody, but being able to actually consistently beat people is a different story. If he fought Lennox 10 times, 9 would result in him getting demolished.

    Tennis is game for very smart fans and they does have some bunch with top level torunaments each year.
    One tournament had won Nadal, another Federer and next Nadal etc.
    All this is intellignet talk.

    The level of tennis fans is above casual boxing fans level per se.

    Pro boxing is game where boxer Lewis could get in the ring replacement in Vitali, win him via cuts and boxing fans will yell till death that this together with Lewis not giving him rematch is proof how cool and great Lewis was and how much better than Vitali he was.

    Lewis wasn't better than Vitali for me and sorry, boxing fans are most stupid sport fans in all world, dumb, nationalistic, tribal, rude, selfish and delusional and sorry, damn dumb guys.
    Especially stupid are boxing fans in YT comments.

    Do not bring tennis fans even close to boxing fans IQ and sense of relity level.

    You for example are not at tennis fan IQ level and never ever will be. Never, remove rose glasses and do not think that you are smart.
    You are not smart nor you do have high IQ.

    Hes he did. He ate multiple flush left hooks from Tua. If his chin was poor he would have folded like Ruiz did when Tua landed his first left hook. Watch the fight instead of reading others posts. Lewis boxed Tua's face off but Tua landed some of his shots including a big leaping left hook in round 6 that caught Lewis plum on the chin. And Holyfield was not Pillowfisted. He made iron chin Mercer take a knee, the same Mercer that ate blows from Morrison. And Morrison according to multiple accounts punched harder than Mike Tyson

    Anthony Joshua got folded against Ruiz who lost to gatekeeper Joseph Parker and had issues with shot to atoms Arreola. Lewis got folded by Rahman but he absolutely destroyed Rahman in the immediate rematch to clear up any doubts and did the same thing to Mccall. What did Aj do against Ruiz in the immediate rematch ? Boxed and moved instead of flattening obese Ruiz. The fact that you think Aj beats Lewis is laughable. Aj definitely has a chance just like Rahman and Mccall but on their best day Lewis by KO

    If Lewis tried to bumrush Wilder like he did Golota he would be talking an almighty risk with his flaky whiskers so he'd have to grind it out and do lots of his clinching and dirty boxing.

    He only bumrushed Golota after stunning him with a right hand. Before that he was boxing smart

    He's a Grant/Derrick Jefferson hybrid.

    He did but after he rocked Golota. Before then he was boxing at range, moving around and picking Golota off.

    No, the Irresistable Force Loses ton the Immovable Object.
    McCall likely had the GOAT ever. He was only "stopped" due to not responding to Lewis power shots while having a mental breakdown.
    That breakdown was the only kind of "down" he ever was. Even sparring 300 + rounds with Tyson, fighting until he was ancient, whatever drugs he did...Given Wilder's level of competition, & Oliver never close to even tasting canvas...

    McCall could be passive enough to lose on points if not in "Atomic Bull" mode.
    But Wilder does not tend to outpoint people, he relies on the Hail Mary...so I cannot favor him.
