Who would give him the hardest time?
Hmmm... I'm not sure what 40 KOs means to you. He has literally stopped all but one of his opponents, and of the two that have lasted the distance only one has had his hand raised - after enduring a near-death experience. I really don't know what more evidence you need. This isn't rocket science.
Do you think Ray Robinson is also a more dangerous fighter than Wilder? How about Carlos Zarate?
If you want to argue that Vitali was a better Hw than Wilder, OK. But not the one that fought Lewis. That guy was very much an unfinished product and he gave Lewis fits. Without such favorable officiating, Lewis might've taken a loss.
:lol1: :lol1:
Whoa! tone down the disrespect! Your mom's pipe cleaning skills are waaay too good for me to need to resort to wanking it. Seriously, the bish worked hard to lose that gag reflex. I kinda wonder if in past life she wasn;t a Roomba.
there's a great hobby you should consider, it's called "driking bleach". I promise, once you start, we'll never feel better.
So were Willie Pep and Pernell Whitaker. Can you name anyone, ever, P4P who beats them fairly?
Ask Mayweather if being a versatile boxer-puncher is preferable to being a pure boxer par excellance. Better yet, ask the nation of Mexico.
As pathetic as I consider trolls to be. I do consider your efforts admirable. Seriously, I never knew someone could work so hard at nothing. I guess it's better than you going out and holding up liquor stores or the local 7/11. It's just too bad you can't stop lying to yourself, and put all that energy into something profitable.
Floyd Mayweather was not a one trick pony, at elite level he had to adapt his style in order to conclusively beat fighters. He fought Shane Mosley & Miguel Cotto totally different to how people at the time expected him to fight, and there are many more fights where Floyd Mayweather dramatically changed his style. 'Because that is what he had to do to win, and that is what pure boxers do'
Lennox Lewis in all of his rematches vividly changes his style, this is the the ability that Tyson Fury has not shown at elite level 'That is why is not the best pure boxer, which people for some backwards reason seem to be stating'. Because he thusfar has been a one trick pony, even his uncle stated that he was perplexed as to why Tyson Fury did not impose his size of Deontay Wilder after 6 rounds. 'The only conclusion I can come to is? Fury does not have the ability at elite level to switch up on this guys' It is all good and well fighting on the inside, and imposing your size on Steve 'USS' Cunningham, but since then? Tyson Fury has been playing a semi awkard game of tick, it will bamboozle some fighters, but like even Nazeem Richardson stated 'You can't get away with that all of the time'.
I am not sure why you are mentioning Floyd Mayweather in the same breath as Tyson Fury, Floyd Mayweather is a multi-dimensional fighter. Tyson Fury is a big awkard fighter, pure boxers systematically break down fighters.
Listen, Tyson Fury is talented. And he is one of the best heavyweights currently in the game. But I don't think he is the best, and I am overrating his performances and ability like everybody else. Tyson Fury has gone quiet now with all the abuse and doser talk, and he is training like a maniac. 'Because he knows and so does TEAM Fury know, that he needs to add more dimensions or revive them in his game'.
It will be interesting to see who he fights next.
Good question! I think they all make for good fights, but I see it like this:
1. Joshua-Lewis - Lewis outboxes him throughout most of the fight, and then lands a shot that puts Joshua down and out.
2. Wilder-Lewis - It's a great fight. My guts tell me that Lewis outboxes Wilder for 4 rounds, and then get's B00MBBZZQUAD-ed. People underestimate Wilder's ability to land. Even when having someone running away from him like Fury, or straightout outboxing him like Ortiz, Wilder found ways to land. Lewis, more than either of those two opponents, liked to engage, because he believed in himself. That's why stuff like Rahman happened. It's a good trait to have, but against Wilder it would cost him. They'd trade eventually, and everyone knows what happens when the Bronze Bomber lands.
3. Fury-Lewis - This is perhaps the most complex, style-wise, matchup of the bunch. I could see it going either way, to be honest. Fury could end up frustrating Lewis enough to eek out a decision, or Lewis could end up breaking Fury down, little by little, dominating the rounds. A KO is possible by Lewis, too, but a decision win for either fighter is the most likely scenario. If I had to pick, I'm going with Lewis. Fury can only fight in that running-version of boxing if someone like Klitschko lets him. Wilder showed that if you actually attack Fury without hesitation, he stays in place a lot more often.
If a 212 pound Deontay Wilder walked forward all night against Tyson Fury and was never really massively hurt? There is NOTHING, tricky about Lennox Lewis vs Tyson Fury. Lennox Lewis was more than capable of bull dosing forward against fighters who were not punchers, even if they where punchers he could bull forward! 'As he did against Kiltschko out of shape, and Shannon Briggs'. Lennox Lewis physically was be far stronger than Tyson Fury, Hits harder, and has a better jab!
Tyson Fury has not even shown that his style can be duplicated at a high intensity, the Wilder fight was not a high paced fight and neither was the Kiltschko fight.
Tyson Fury is the easiest fight for Lennox Lewis out of the big 3. Deontay Wilder is not known for his physical strength or durability, but he made a BIG man in Tyson Fury fight like a little man. 'In my opinion he exposed Tyson Fury, just with his share persistence' a all time great fighter would of switched things up against Wilder, but Fury just did the same thing 'Never imposed his size' because in reality? Tyson Fury does not have the strength of a super heavyweight.
Fury takes Lennox to school while he has both hands behind his back, the jabs from Fury would bother Lewis!
Wilder would get stopped as Lewis would take his time and work behind the jab and counter any of Wilder’s shots coming in!
AJ would get brutally laid out, Lewis would take him in deep waters and up the ante!
Only Fury beats Lewis, too slick, too quick and too much Gypsy for Lewis to handle! He’s never fought someone that’s a mammoth and can move like a gazelle like Tyson Fury!
Easy Work for Lennox vs all 3!
Some of you guys are living in the moment and are completely over hyping all of these guys and it is for reasons that have ZERO to do with their skills in the ring :nonono:
Neither of them beats a PRIME Vitali or Wlad to be Honest!
A reminder of what Greatness really Looks Like...
Be honest. How many Lewis fights have you seen. Where's the one that shows he's better than the guy who lost to Ray Mercer or KO'd by Rahman and McCall? Look at his fights w/ Tua, green Klitchko and Holyfield and tell me that he KOs Fury. He didnt wanna fight Byrd, remember that?
People love to idolize old time fighters. I get it. But this is delusional. Lewis had his limits. Beating the ghosts of Golota and Tyson, and avenging losses he should have never had, don't really make him invincible.
How many Tyson Fury fights have you seen, without your **** in your hand? He was being bullied by a non puncher at cruiser in Steve 'Uss' Cunningham? <<<< That fight is the last time we have seen Tyson Fury fight any other way, other than playing a semi violent game of tick, that may work on elite level fighters once but not twice 'And this is why in my opinion, immediate rematches are not made' Fighters like Wladimir Kiltschko would of adapted, and even Peter Fury stated this? Team Fury before the Kiltschko rematch stated they could not fight the same way!
David Tua, Evander Holyfield these are guys who would beat Tyson Fury. Evander Holyfield would break every single rib in his mid section.
Tyson Fury is a one trick pony at elite level. That is all he has shown in his career thusfar, you cannot show me any video footage of him showing any signs of being a multi-dimensional fighter. Andrew Golota at the time of the Lewis fight after basically retiring Riddick Bowe was considered one of the most dangerous heavyweights in the planet.
You are mentioning all of these names such as Ray Mercer like they are none factors, the 90's was the second greatest heavyweight era ever! Ray Mercer is another guy who I would pick to beat Tyson Fury. Tyson Fury does not hit hard enough, and even in terms of physical strength he is not that strong for his size! If he was? He would of imposed his size on a 212 pound Deontay Wilder with a weak foundation according to Tyson Fury.
At the end of the day mate, Lennox Lewis was a undisputed heavyweight champion, actually defended his belts and had no issues with having or giving rematches. No games, no storytelling telling just business.
Tyson Fury has been telling stories ever since he was decked by Deontay Wilder in the last round, stories that is all.
Tyson Fury has dominated no fighter, beat up, no fighters at elite level. People want to talk about the Wladimir Kiltschko fight as if it was some kind of masterclass! Wladimir Kiltschko walked forward all night, AND he was the fighter who they stated would be on the back foot. It was a scrappy and untidy awkward fight, but congratulations to Tyson Fury for making it that way. All the credit in the world for Tyson Fury's courage, I just feel like in terms of his fighting ability people overrate his performances. 'People are hypnotized by the story telling'.
I'd say that Lewis at his best would have a relatively easy time with the 3 of them, maybe Fury with his height, reach and awkward style can be tough but I think Lewis still finds a way to win.
Wladimir Klitschko imho is a poor man Lewis and he almost beat Joshua at 40+ years old. If Lewis would've had Joshua gased out and in the type of trouble Klitschko had him in Lewis would've certainly finished him.
- -Apt moniker dipsy.
Lewie never defended his unified title and never dominated like the Kbros.
Nor could ever compete at their advanced ages just like he had to marinate his AMA career while Tyson rolled over the bankrupt Lady Larry era like steamroller.
Sweet success though when he reflexed Big Dummy Bowe into dumping his WBC belt.
maybe watch a few Lewis fights before posting?
unless were talking about a competition for best braids... then lewis obviously runs away with it!
??????????

Lewis would KO these bums. Fury is not impossible to hit, even small Cunningham knocked him down. If a horrible boxer like Wilder can land a near knockout shot on Fury, an ATG like Lewis would absolutely land more precisely and often than Windmill. The only chance I give Joshua and Wilder is if an overconfident Lewis let's his guard down and they land a lucky shot, but Lewis will destroy them in the rematch.
Lennox would crush Joshua and wilder in a few rounds. Be some jabs, and then the right hand would crush wilder and Joshua.. horrible style matchup for both, Lennox owns them within 6 if not 2-3 rds. As soon as that right hand is unleashed, it’s over.
Fury is a tough out for anyone in the history of the division simple because he is a giant with very good footwork, movement, jab, and ring savvy. I’d still favor Lennox, but harder style than Joshua or wilder. Lennox via close decision
Lewis stops AJ, Wilder, and might get decisioned by King Kong. Miller would be a war. Fury stops Lewis in a barn burner. No HW beats Fury from any era.
