Lennox Lewis vs Oleksandr Usyk

[EdwardRevolver1993]

Undisputed vs undisputed.

Let's go!

We never not saw LL against southpaw ).

[Noxy]

I can’t help noticing no-one has said - Lennox is too big for him - yet.

[NazNaci1]

Lewis and Uysk are / were supremely skilled but Lewis had such great timing, range and punch selection, I'd have to side with him..

Plus he was a much, much heavier puncher than Fury and much stronger, physically.

In close, he could rip those uppercuts and at range, accurate jabs and hard crosses. He would just wear down Uysk, in my opinion. This is not AJ or Fury levels here.

Either Lewis outbox Usyk behind his better jabs and right hands to take a decision or stopping him late.

I'd favor Lennox.

He's bigger and physically stronger than Fury as has been pointed out. I think he's a technically more skilled fighter, and most importantly, he would be all business in there. There would be no showboating or messing around. He'd be there to win, and he'd take Usyk as deadly serious as Usyk is taking him.

Can Usyk win? Yes. He's a great fighter.

But I'd lean toward Lennox.

I'd say, the best version of Lewis is a 1996-2001 Lennox. As far as that Golota fight - Lewis was in a truly great shape for that one. No fat, nothing. Ripped and ready.

It's tough to pick against Lewis, who has been considered to be at the top of the all-time ranking for so long.

On the other hand, Usyk's technique, volume and durability would be a problem for Lewis, who was often economical in big fights and could be hurt.

Aye, fair point that.

[Seamus]

Lewis if ends inside 6, Usyk if it goes past 6.

I would favour Lewis......really, because he consistently got more power on his shots than someone like Fury.
When he's landing it is reasonable to suggest that a higher percentage of his punches are carrying more weight.

Usyk is properly tricky for Lennox - he'll miss plenty, get tagged, slip some rounds and feel some scorecard pressure - but when Lennox connects he's doing more overall damage and these jolting shots are easier to score a round in his favour.

Lewis had his problems against fighters that knew how to use distance and who were nimble.....the half-forgotten Mavrovic caused Lennox a very surprising amount of bother. An ageing Tony Tucker was still a pain in the backside.

I am fairly sure Lennox wins it - via the cards - with his better weight of shots nabbing more close rounds and probably making Usyk more cautious and maybe resulting in some bads cuts/swelling.
