How would prime Lennox Lewis do against the current big 3 Heavyweights?

[HandsofIron]

A bit early to say but prolly go with Lewis, although based on styles, Fury would give Lennox the most trouble.

Lewis's KO defeats were down to him being complacent and not taking his opponent that seriously.


He avenged both losses with ease.

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.

??????????

you don't agree he's got luscious locks? Predator actually landed on Earth only to congratulate him. too bad no one told Aaa'nold.

[D4thincarnation]

Lennox was afraid of no man, chased all the other heavyweight, didn't cry over split and where the fight was also

How many Tyson Fury fights have you seen, without your **** in your hand?

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.

David Tua, Evander Holyfield these are guys who would beat Tyson Fury. Evander Holyfield would break every single rib in his mid section.

there's a great hobby you should consider, it's called "driking bleach". I promise, once you start, we'll never feel better.

Tyson Fury is a one trick pony at elite level.

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.

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'.

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.

you forgot how he struggled against anyone with a pulse.

I remember how Bowe ducked hims, Tyson ducked him and Holyfield didn't want to fight him
