Would Lewis have gone through wlad s opponents undefeated?

I

No. I can't have that.
Lewis ducked NOBODY.
See Resume.
Right at the end of his career when his motivation was gone, the Byrd fight was on the agenda. Lennox admitted it wasn't a big enough fight for him to 'get up ' for.I think he'd earned the right to that opinion.You have to stop somewhere.
In his prime Byrd would've been a 3 out of 10 for Lennox on a level of difficulty.

 

Yes i was struggling how to interpret that answer.
I didnt want the thread sidetracking into a comparison Wlad V Lewis , as i understand that wasn't your intention.

 

Yeah, Lennox didn't duck Byrd. But then again, Bowe didn't duck Lennox either. They should've fought but politics and Don King were involved which weren't completely Bowe's fault. (Ok, this isn't a Bowe-Lewis thread so let's not get sidetracked with this one either...)

I think Lennox defeats every single fighter Wlad faced and possibly in easier and more devastating fashion than Wlad did. Sam Peter is the exact type of dangerous opponent who Lennox would take seriously to whip himself into shape. Haye would've never jumped to heavyweight with Lennox running tings root boy.

There can be the possible slip up, as others have mentioned, but most of Wlad's opponents couldn't work their way inside nor throw with enough bad intentions to take into consideration, sans Peter.

 

Agree...
LOL I was wondering when Bowe would be brought up.
The truth is they never remotely looked like being matched up. Lewis lost to McCall and had to rebuild and Bowe got involved in the Holyfield trilogy.There was one offer from Bowes camp but it was a ridiculous one , whereby Bowe got around 90% of the money. It was designed to fail.
Ironically Bowe could've had all the money, he woulda still ended up skint.
He showed an interest in fightin Lennox once he was broke, but the state he was in he wasn't a viable opponent.
Lennox has done well, looked after his money and got a nice family and pretty much keep his life private. He's done good things , including paying for scholarships for kids in disadvantaged areas.
Top fighter top bloke.

 

There is noone on either Klitshcko resume that would trouble Lewis apart from Lewis. 6 round sam peter? dont make me laugh, that guy would barely land a title shot in the lewis era.

And even facing the old worst ever lewis who easily tore off vitalis face inside halfthe distance, prime lewis would win.

 

haye who just got starched by a nobody light heavy?


u cant mean that haye.

 

Simple answer is: NO.

Lennox finds his McCall and Rahman through that 68 fights, when he comes unprepared mentally and loses.

Also, 39 y.o. Lennox gets beaten by Tyson Fury without a doubt.

 

Le

Lewis' era was way stronger you are correct.
Its not even close.
Wlad's riegn was the first time i've used the words 'boring' and 'heavyweight boxing' in the same sentence.
Not all Wlads fault, just a talentless era.

 

Byrd's promoter paid Lewis a million $ and a luxury car so he could fight for a vacant title instead of facing Lewis, not really a show of confidence . Nobody at the time called it a duck. In any case, I just don't see Byrd having any qualities that would trouble Lewis.

 

To answer OPs question no he wouldn't go 67-0, somebody would upset him at some point.

 

If it were just a simple question of weather or not he could beat them then yes. Lewis would beat all of Wlad's opponents. The issue is if he can remain focused long enough to get through them all.
