Lennox was the better boxer, and also has 8 inch reach and 3 inch height more than Ike so Lennox would have won the jab war from the outside.
On power I would say they were about equal, but Lewis would have used the reach to land first.
Chin advantage goes to Ike, but you cant score with the chin.
endurance advantage Ike, but Lewis bombs would have brought that about even.
It would have been a tough fight, similar to Mercer Lewis and Lewis would have won a UD here. Not by mile, but confortably. Ike would have made it to the end, but not even close to winning the decision.
Ike was too raw to beat the master pugilist. And if he didnt stay in his shell and hope for a decision he might have been clocked too.
We could have had a good fight, like Mercer Lewis, but unfortunately Tuamans pubches drove Ike mad. That is hardly Lennox`s fault.
Ike was good, but not good enough to beat Lewis. Sure he had a punchers chance, but any big guy has a punchers chance. I dont think Ike had the skills to beat Lewis`s jab and right hand upper cut to be able to come close enough to ko Lewis.
It would have been a good fight and it is a pitty it didnt come about.
The same as Bowe Lewis. Could have been good fight but that one didnt happen either.
Too bad.
