Comments Thread For: Frank Warren: I'd Back Tyson Fury To Beat Lennox Lewis

[Oshio]

Warren. What is he smoking?

[coghaugen]

Well he has been inside of boxing since you were nothing but a ***** in your dad's sack so there's that.

Never been inside a ring or gym. So has no clue about boxing. In fact I was fighting before Warren was ever involved as the young crook he was promoting underground fights.

His era shyts on this one..... Nobody saying he was in the golden era. But i question your agenda trying to compare

Vitali
Evander
Raheem
McCall
Tua
Mercer
Morrison

Fury 2nd best win is vs Wilder.

What agenda? I'm a known Lewis fan.

Raheem? who da fuq is that? McCall is a killer? wtf. he was considered a knock over job when they fought. Morrison had been viciously knocked out in one round before they fought, hardly a comparison.

Tua and Vitali were legit killers, I'm not sure they compare favourably to Wlad and Wilder twice though.

Also I'm not saying that Lewis didn't fight better fighters in his career, but I'm specifiically talking about killers. Only Vitali and Tua compares imo.

At 6'9 270 pounds with great skills, Fury is tough to beat for anyone within any era.

You are speaking of Tyson Fury as if he is a solid 270 pounds 'Tyson Fury is a not a solid 270 pounds'. If Tyson Fury was as solid as Lennox Lewis at his peak? He would weigh in at 250 pounds, maybe even just under 250 pounds.

I think Lennox Lewis is naturally in terms of physical strength too strong for Tyson Fury 'He could so easily bulldoze him'.

I am not sure why people keep on referencing Tyson Fury's weight as if he is some sort of athletic marvel 'The man is tall, but he is no monster athlete'.

I admire both men & think they're both great fighters but I can't accept Warren's take. Fury is good at missing punches but the best he missed were from a slowing, ageing Klitschko & a wild, formulaic Wilder.
Anyone who thinks Fury would easily avoid the left jab & follow-up combinations of Lennox is not understanding the sport right.
If someone is fast & clever, avoiding their punches is damn nigh impossible. One of the reasons my favourite fight is Lenard-Duran 1 is that those cats were throwing lightning shots & slipping them! unreal!

'McCall is a killer? wtf. he was considered a knock over job when they fought'

No-one ever thought of McCall as a 'knock-over job'. He was Tyson's chief sparring partner primarily because he could absorb a lot of punishment. No-one ever knocked McCall out & I think you would've needed an axe or a gun to stop him. He was just one of those scarily granite guys.

Hard to tell. I wouldn’t bet against Fury, even with Lennox on other side. Lennox was great, no doubt about that, but I think he is a little bit overrated these days. Just my opinion.

I would put some money on Lennox by cut stoppage, though )

[JK1700]

Haven’t heard anything this crazy since Arum said Pacquiao beats Mayweather. Lol.

[hugh grant]

I wouldn't put it past Tyson to outbox lewis. Frank bruno did for a bit.
Lennox could stop fury but I've not seen fury stopped so not convinced Lewis could

[Liondw]

I respectfully disagree with Frank. Lennox was a whole other beast, and beat better opponents. And in what world was Wilder the biggest puncher of the past 30 odd years.
