Usyk would destroy Prime Lennox Lewis

Shame there's no footage of those fights

Well, the vast majority of his listed amateur losses came against fighters from the Soviet Union/Eastern Bloc and Usyk obviously hails from that school but with the addition of a very generous helping his own flavour of southpaw slickness into the mix too. Sounds like a big plateful of problem pie all around for Lewis to me

 

Been reading a Usyk vs Lewis thread on another forum

A few things which caught my eye

Holyfield getting a free pass for being a HEAVILY artificially enhanced lab creation as per usual

Questions like this are never asked. Perfectly logical and reasonable questions

What would Holyfield look like without the whole concoction of power, strength, and stamina enhancing steroids and PEDs he jacked himself silly with?

What would Usyk look like if he was a lab creation walking PED factory like Holyfield?

What would a Usyk who was a HEAVILY enhanced walking PED lab creation like Holyfield look like vs Mike Tyson?

Holyfield has got to beat VADA testing before he can even step foot in a ring vs Usyk and he was on so much of the hard stuff I don't fancy his chances at all

Let me just reiterate because it's not some little trivial matter: Holyfield was juiced to the gills on the hard stuff and lots of it

I saw someone the other day defending Holyfield's loss to ''dirty PED cheat'' MMA fighter Vitor Belfort

Usyk being 37-38 ie. not in his prime when he beat Greedy Belly and in his mid to late 30s when he won and unified al his titles at HW gets completely ignored

Apparently, Usyk would try and walk Lewis down, as if the master boxer Usyk who has been boxing beautifully off the backfoot going way back to his early amateur days when he opted to do so, isn't versatile and can only fight one way

Usyk isn't a fantastic jabber

Lewis would deal with Usyk comfortably and get him out of there even though we've literally never seen him fight a slick southpaw and someone with Usyk's style but we've seen Usyk outbox SHW sized giants many times and we know for a fact his speed, skills, ring IQ, and movement causes them all serious problems

Pretty much all these greats from previous eras who would defeat Usyk all lost to fighters Usyk would beat

 

Watch the footage of Lewis vs Gorrell where I timestamped it. That was extremely dirty and, as said, Lewis did that to a badly overmatched tomato can he was way bigger than. Moments like that are very revealing of a fighter's character but we have never seen Usyk do something a fraction as dirty as that

Ali held and pushed down on the back of his opponent's heads excessively

Greedy Belly flagrantly elbowed Usyk in the face and is very dirty too

Holyfield was a serial billy goat

Bowe was very dirty

Mike Tyson was too

They all did these things to try and gain some kind of advantage over their opponents

Usyk doesn't do any of that crap but he gets no credit for it

I saw a thing they did on Talksport recently with Duke McKenzie where he said Usyk was a top 20 ATG HW and he proceeded to name 19 HWs he considers better than Usyk. I really like Duke and I enjoy watching his interviews and listening to his takes and whilst he himself really likes Usyk too and has praised him a lot he also said that he didn't consider him an ATG which, as with this take, he drew a lot of heat for. He revised his opinion on that after the Dubois rematch but he also said sometime in the last six months that he considered Twink P4P#1 so these are two terrible takes from him

 

People keep confidently predicting what Lewis would do to Usyk but we've literally NEVER seen him in with a world class southpaw before, let alone one as slick, skilled, fast, clever, defensively sound, super fit, durable and a great as Usyk is

I believe Lewis has fought 3 former CW champions

WPTS 8 Ossie Ocasio
WPTS 12 Holyfield
D12 Holyfield
WKO 2 Glenn McCrory

McCrory is the only one he dropped and stopped but he was trash and had already lost x 5 and been KO'd x 3 at domestic level by then

Watch how Lewis shoves his elbow in McCrory's throat then a second later does his signature move of holding the opponent's head down or in place with his left hand before throwing a cheap shot when they can't see it coming and defend themselves from it. He does it a bunch of times in the 1st round too and he's done it against much smaller or much naturally smaller badly outmatched opponents in the videos I posted

He must've done this countless times in his career
