    Fury is the only one I would give a chance. Wilders only chance to win is if Lennox underestimates him like McCall and Rahman. He embarrasses Joshua and Ruiz.

    Wilder has what Wilder always has, which is a punchers chance. If McCall and Rahman can drop Lennox, Wilder could put him in the hospital. Lennox Lewis, in his prime, did everything better than AJ so I give Joshua zero chance. Lennox was more patient than AJ so I don’t think Ruiz would bother him. He’d jab his way into the later rounds and ko Andy.

    Here is where I will catch grief, I don’t think Fury, even at his best, could win. All he could do is not lose. Lennox is way more technically sound than Wilder with a similar right hand. I believe Fury would lose.

    Why the hell would kryptonite affect Lewis? 1. He's from Canada not Krypton and 2. Kryptonite and Krypton are not real.

    Let us see how DDD and my fellow Croat develop because as it stands only Wilders punchers chance is a possibility to me.

    Wilder has the ****** strength to knock Lennox out if he comes in only half trained and half serious

    I thought he was British

    AJ and Ruiz Jr would be easy meat. Wilder would be slightly more of test, but would be knocked out eventually.

    Of those listed Tyson Fury would be the toughest for him because of his movement and unpredictability. But Lewis would take him out too.

    My vote goes for other- I think that the toughest tests for him in the division today would be Usyk or Hrgovic.

    No one, but an in-shape and motivated Fury is without a doubt the closest thing to a serious threat. Peak Lewis has about an 80% chance of knocking out all three.

    I’ll have to see more from Usyk before I can co-sign on that.

    None of them would be his so called "kryptonite" but LL would be a nightmare for every one of them...even Fury.

    Lewis would probably retire Joshua.
