Lewis' guard could be easy to unhinge for Usyk imo, but a motivated Lewis could hit very hard...too much... even for USyK. If USyK survives one or two KDs I think he wins by decision.. Technically is better than Lewis.
Lennox Lewis every day of the week and twice on a Sunday. If we are talking about a prime Lennox Lewis stepping in with the jab and throwing it with authority and bringing the right hand to play, also on the inside Lennox uppercuts were pretty good as well and he’s much bigger guy with a lot of skill and mental toughness. Usyk isn’t memorising a guy like Lennox Lewis with the jab and distance control. If Usyk beats Joshua in a rematch controls Fury and dominates a weaker division than Lennox fought in I may re think this, but right now until Usyk shows us more, Lennox is the bet In this fight.
AJ & Chisora are bums compared to Fury, Usyk and Lennox Usyk dealing with a bodybuilder who tried to pure box him is an isolated incident Lennox is just better all around than Usyks opponents, Both lenny and Fury big man Usyk. AJ will try to big man him in the rematch and probably falter
I got to go with Lewis, but on a bad night Usyk may be able to pull the upset. I mean Mccall and Rahman did beat him.
We never saw Lewis against an A level south paw for a reason but Lewis has the dirty boxing in clinches that Joshua doesn't so he could rough him up. Would still give Usyk a good chance but I'd go SD Lewis.
I sure we can give him a pass on that, with his long amateur career, I'm pretty sure he didn't struggle with southpaws
Lewis but it's one of his hardest fights. Against a mover in Mavrovic Lewis was boxing but found it a bit tricky so he just walked Mavrovic down and knew how to pull an opponents head into uppercuts with his lead hand and get rough in the clinches with shots. He's not doing any of that pathetic pitty patty sh*t like Joshua. He's making it a dog fight. For reference: This content is protected This content is protected And if that doesn't work he can get on his bike, stick that huge jab in Usyks face and make Usyk commit so he can set up rights Usyk could potentially beat him though. He's got a better chance than Wladimir would against Lewis imo.
Not really his fault, not many good southpaws during his time. Moorer ducked him saying after beating Holyfield he didn't need to unify and fought Foreman instead. Sanders was nothing more than a fringe contender during Lewis' reign and maybe could of gotten a shot at Lewis but just as it looked like he could be a viable opponent for Lewis, he lost to Rahman and Rahman ended up fighting Lewis instead. Byrd's own promoter King, didn't even want the fight, he paid Lewis to dump his IBF belt so King could make Byrd/Holyfield. Also considering Lewis' big weakness seemed to be right hands as both times he was stopped it was right hands and southpaws of course don't have right crosses and Lewis own vaunted right cross is lethal to southpaws in general the idea Lewis had anything to fear from southpaws is pure fantasy as stylistically it seems to play to his strengths.
Word was Lewis struggled with lefties in sparring. How many southpaws did Lewis fight? No many. I think that Canadian glass chin would crack, usyk by KO.
