Any fight against another ATG is going to be a stylistic nightmare! It is only very rarely that two fighters like the ones on this list share an era!
Cheers. I've said it before has many people have, that when he is focused he is pretty close to unbeatable. And when he is put in a fantasy poll like this, then you have to take the best version of Lewis as you do the best version of his fantasy foes. The best version of Lewis is a formidable opponent for any man.
He loses to Ali, and Louis and Holmes are both pick 'ems. The rest he beats. Lewis looks good blasting Dempsey and Frazier out early and stopping Foreman after a sustained beat down, he also stops Tyson late after being troubled early. The Holyfield and Liston fights turn into dirty ugly fights, but I think he squeezes out a decision in both.
If Lewis stuggled with a 795 year olf Holyfield (in the 2nd fight), how the **** can be beat prime ('86-'93) Holyfield?
By using his height and reach advantage to outbox him. Like he did in both fights (he was robbed in the first).
Lewis always had the style to trouble Holyfield. He beats any version of Holy by decision prime for prime.
