    Yup, just like he blew through Mercer.... oh wait.


    I get it. Against dudes smaller than him, or journeymen, or dudes way past their expiration date he could look very good. But the moment he met someone who could test him, he became very suspect.

    Fury makes him look ******. Unless you have footage that proves otherwise.....


    Balls in your court.

      I don't think Wilder can be ruled out. Let's see how good of a jaw he has. If it's more solid that Lennox's, then he needs to be the narrow favorite.

      Fury isn't stopping him. Fury got dropped by Cunningham because he was off-balance. He was a fish out of water going on the offense. It's not that he can't learn how to become a more complete fighter. But right now he's the Heavyweight division's answer to Sumbu Kalambay.

      Lennox won't get out-boxed as easily as Wilder. And while he lacks Wilder's one-punch power, he has plenty of his own. He's also a more versatile puncher, and sets up his punches better. He's not the sniper that Wilder is. And I wouldn't be surprised if he fades down the stretch.


      But Fury needs to box. He can't get too comfortable in there.

        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.

                  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 Rid**** 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'.

                    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

                    Neither of them beats a PRIME Vitali or Wlad to be Honest!

                    A reminder of what Greatness really Looks Like...

                      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!
