Lennox Lewis says he would have BEAT Tyson Fury in his prime ahead of Fury v Whyte 👀🥊💥

[@chriszzw30]

@Bobby Knuckles even wilder hit him a lot and Wallin definitely did, and they aren't exactly the best of the best..

[@chriszzw30]

@Bobby Knuckles Fury ran away from a rematch of what he considers his best moment, I suppose he has had two opponents of any note in his career. Significantly less than Lennox.

[@chriszzw30]

@Bobby Knuckles I think Usyk is the top of the current crop tbf, may just be a bit small for Fury, but certainly at least as skilled and in better shape. But Fury goes a lot of grab and lean so it will be tough for a much smaller Usyk. But that is the fight we should be talking about.

Bollocks mate. You were a highly confined boxer with a truncated arsenal, with a mediocre fighting IQ. I would say an upgraded version of Detoner WIlder. Fury would have been too quick for you, too skillful, to varied in his attack, taller, with more reach and far lighter on his feet…

[@sambagogo777]

It's easy to romanticise the past by placing former sporting greats on a pedestal. Fact is, Lewis was very fortunate to beat a young Klitschko due to cuts, struggled for a while against Bruno, twice got knocked out by two pretty ordinary boxers and never fought Tyson in his prime. Yes, he was a superb boxer but I don't think that prime Lewis would beat prime Fury.

[@theboxingboy7422]

Might not of been true but lewis was a champion and it's just mentality of one and of a competitor to say he could of beat anyone.

Klitschko was 31, not so young to be considered not ready for the big time. Lewis caused the cuts, 2 above the eye, one on the cheek and Vitali said the worse one was in his mouth after the uppercut [which happened in the round the fight was stopped]. No luck there, constant pressure and work.

Lewis would lay fury stiff lets be honest. I think you also need to watch more of lewis career if you think he couldn't out box fury. He has the much much better jab between the 2,by far better combinations,footwork was always on point and a better ring i.q. lewis isnt wilder who only has a straight right hand,he varied it as good as anyone in history and it was a booming shot that fury wouldn't be taking many of.

Mike Tyson was the only boxer who kept me awake the whole night because I needed to watch it LIVE. Heavyweight boxing died with that era. With Muhammed Ali, I never saw him LIVE in boxing but I knew who he was from a tiny village in Nigeria. If you want to be truthful you can see that every sport has improved. We have better sprinters, better golfers, better Tennis players, and better swimmers. Unfortunately, boxing has not moved forward. It is going backwards. Dillian Whyte did not deserve to be given a dime because he never even put up a fight.

Lennox ain't no one trick pony like Wilder, Lennox would stop fury. It may take a few more than Wilders one punch but he'd stop Fury 100% different league. People go on about Fury's movement, against who? wilder? one of the worst heavyweights ever skill wise and on his feet, it's easy to look good against wilder. Wallen showed everyone how to cut the ring off and drag fury into a fight and Lennox had better technique than fury, better skilled, more powerful, good chin, good enough to withstand fury's powder punches. i just can't see how fury wins Lennox had every shot in the book. Wilder up close is useless, he doesn't have the skill to dig in body shots, upper cuts etc... fury would get busted up close badly. one sided Lennox the winner.
