Lennox Lewis vs Oleksandr Usyk

2 undisputed HWs. Who comes out on top?
Lewis is stylistically a nightmare for a smaller fighter like Usyk IMO. Question is if he’s able to knock Usyk out or if Usyk is capable of finding a way to win like how he always does.

 

Lewis would fuck up this whole lot - Fury, Usyk, AJ, Wilder. None of the four see the later rounds, nevermind win.

Usyk can't win because he's too small, and the other three can't win because LL was plain and simple miles better than them.

 

Lewis would take Fury out very quickly.

 

As for this match up, I can’t see Usyk avoiding that big right hand for long. Lennox delivered that with so much accuracy and timing and the amount of power he generated behind it was scary and I don’t see Usyk dealing with it well.

 

Lennox KO 5. Once Usyk's legs get a little tired he gets brutally shot down.

 

There has long been rumours of Lennox not wanting to fight southpaws, and this being a reason why he vacated the IBF belt rather than fight Byrd. But I am inclined to believe that King's financial offer and the Byrd fight being a dud commercially were the primary reasons he vacated.

Still it would be interesting to see Lennox fight a southpaw, especially as skilled as Usyk, but I strongly suspect that Lennox's jab, frames and uppercut would be too much for Usyk to handle.

Lennox via stoppage

 

Lmao

What are you crazy? Are you implying Lennox FUCKING Lewis was worried about that Cuck faggot Byrd?

 

I think he was worried about how little money he would bank from boxing Byrd.

 

Exactly

 

Additionally fighting a spoiler like that is hard to look good against. With not a lot of money on the table too it's pretty clear why he wouldn't have wanted the fight. The fans didn't either anyway.

 

I always figured Lewis would've easily beaten Byrd.

 

For real

 

Indeed same reasons he never wanted to box John Ruiz.

Steward;

"Well it was funny. Lennox was a strange guy. He didn’t put all that super value on the belts. I mean it’s a major thing with Wladimir. Wladimir loves them, and he wants to dominate and have all of those belts. But to Lennox it didn’t mean that much to give up a belt. I think one time he had to fight Chris Byrd or something. It didn’t matter to him. And Ruiz, I asked him once about fighting him and he said, “I sparred with him once”. He said, “The way he fights I don’t even want to spar with him” because I was going to bring him in to spar with him at one point. He said, “Oh! He would throw a punch, and grab, and clinch, and it would be an ugly fight!” So he never wanted to even have him come in and spar with him, and the fight had no interest to him, and a fight with Chris Byrd had no interest for him as well"

One uppercut from Lewis and Usyk is writing poetry about war.

 

Some times double has some really controversial opinions.

 

Lewis would have punched him all over the place. Nothing in that article suggests he was concerned about losing to him, just that he couldn't be arsed. We saw that in the Vitali fight. He'd made his money by then and was done.
