Lennox Lewis Says He Would've Beaten Tyson Fury & Breaks Down Oleksandr Usyk Fight

[@djo-dji6018]

"It's annoying that we can't go back in time..." That's today's journalism for you.

But we can build a flux capacitor and give it our best try.

[@Stout_Krout]

Soft spoken Lennox Lewis at his best was the total package. The last undisputed Heavyweight champion emerged as cream of the crop against some of the biggest punchers in Heavyweight history. Lennox avenged his only two defeats by knockout. He didn't make excuses for his losses, he said, *"It's Heavyweights, you can get caught, but i won the rematches in style,"* and *"Show me a Heavyweight champion without a loss and i'll show you a fighter that fought a lot of nobodies."* In my opinion Lennox Lewis is the GOAT. To hear 58 year old Lennox talk so clearly and eloquently after going up against 18 Heavyweight Champions is remarkable. The 18 HW Champions Lewis faced: *Vitali Klitschko, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson, Shannon Briggs, Frank Bruno, Tony Tucker, Hasim Rahman, Oliver McCall, Mike Weaver, Henry Akinwande, Tommy Morrison and Ray Mercer were later recognized as WBO champions, British HW champion Gary Mason, European HW champion Jean Chanet, Commonwealth HW champion Derek Williams, Canada HW champion Razor Ruddock, IBF/WBF HW champion Michael Grant, and WBC International HW champion David Tua...[[ technically not all were 'World' champions but champions nonetheless ]]. Other notable mentions; Olympic HW Silver medalist Riddick Bowe, Olympic HW Gold medalist Tyrell Briggs, Andrew Golota, Zeljko Mavrovic, Frans Botha and Phil Jackson*

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

The difference in lucidity between Lennox and Holyfield is staggering.

[@willh69]

Yeah it's a rarity that the best fighter of any era speaks clearly with no physical signs of ever having been a fighter To me that's a rare type of greatness

Lewis vs Fury. I'd lean towards to Lewis. Great fighter in his prime.

[@rikimackey7984]

I predict Fury fighting off the back foot and Usyk having to take risks and coming undone

[@flexgado249]

It’s a 50/50 fight. I’m nervous for both guys. Tyson has the height, reach and weight advantage with great Ring IQ as well. but Usyk has fast feet and great angles and also great Ring IQ. Hard to see a clear winner. If Tyson Fury can control the range and box on the outside and mix it up with some brawling he wins. If Tyson can’t adapt to Usyk footwork and angles he will lose.

[@dirtycash5620]

It’s easier said then done to beat fury

[@flexgado249]

Lennox Lewis was the best Heavyweight champion IMO he was a pure boxer, controlled ranged great and adapted against his opponents. His prime was 29-34 years.

[@danddee1299]

@@mauriceosullivan6832 What early days?? Lewis turned pro in 1989 and Tyson was getting punched all over the ring and knocked by James Douglas in 1990. The earliest they coulda fought was 95-96 when Tyson famously ducked Lewis and paid him 4 million NOT TO FIGHT. Lewis has a far, FAR stronger record and resume then mike, he made way more title defences, beat more world champions and beat more hall of famers, the only numbers that tyson trumps lewis is number of losses, lewis lost twice while tyson lost 6 times, Lewis avenged 100% of his losses, Tyson avenged 0%, Lewis also beat 6 of their 7 common opponents easier/quicker than tyson did. The list goes on. Lewis is way above tyson.

Usyk doesn't beat Lewis. Lewis was too precise. He'd jab Usyk to death and wouldn't run out of steam by the 8th round. Usyk has no way of hurting Lewis.

[@dklang]

Yeah, and you didn't think you would lose to Rahman and McCall either. But I agree, boxers with perfect records built it fighting a lot of 2nd raters, and at least a few bums. You were one of the all time best, and beat many top fighters. Maybe you would beat Fury, maybe not.

Also - Hasim Rahman was no journeyman, he was a world ranked contender and retired with 50 wins 41 kos only 9 losses.

Lennox got Mike's number in 84 sparring that's why he didn't want to fight him, said in front of cameras "I'm not ready for Lennox Lewis yet" (difficult to find but it is in some documentaries on YT you can find it), and paid 4M$ step aside money. Tyson Fury is not in the discussion, his best win is an old Wlad, struggled against bums slayer Wilder who has no boxing skills, only punching power. Got chinned by people who hit half as hard as the ones who could knock down Lennox. Lennox would knock him down again and again until the ref has to stop it like Grant, Briggs, Golota etc.
