Boxers get better over time. Based purely on training methods and best practices. Usyk would demolish Lennox. Not because he’s a better fighter necessarily but because he’s got modern science and performance enhancers that would give him an enormous advantage.
Honestly you can’t find any boxer ever that could beat him. His skill set combined with his frame and natural athleticism? Dude was made for this. And tbh he’s already proved it by being the undisputed best in the most skillful and competent era of boxing.

All the greats had loses. Oliver mccall was a world champion and so was Rahman. They were both top contenders. He avenged both loses which makes him a true great. He was too much for any past ir present on his A game@rmc4091
Lennox is one of the greatest Heavyweights of all time. He was very technical, physical and most importantly he was a tactical mastermind. Being 6'6" and 250lb was also very helpful for his career 😁
Lewis was famously bad against southpaws. His trainer knew it and kept him away from southpaws. But he did have the mentality to find a way to win. Wud be an interesting matchup.
All these modern day heavyweights are garbage. Watch Ron Lyle v George Foreman and then tell me any of these modern day heavyweights would have lasted in that fight.
He was losing to Klitchko senior who reigned for another 9 years beating top 10 guys. And this was in 2003, still prime Lewis. Don't even come at me with this "well he was 37" bs. 37 isn't old for a heavyweight.

Telling it like it is. The Lion. But I'd add to that Lewis's stiff jabs. Sometimes the stiff jabs are absent, but when they're in gear, they're mighty. I saw how Lewis kept snapping Klitschko's head in his last truly brutal fight. The jabs weren't many, but the ones that did land on the Ukrainian were felt all the way to the bleachers! But above all else, Lewis is a thinking man's boxer. He adjusts quickly when he sees the need to. 👍👑👍
Lewis also almost got his ass knocked out twice by Vitali. And collapsed onto his stool after the 6th after throwing everything but the kitchen sink trying to get Klitschko out of there ;) Vitali had his number which is why he was hunting Lewis for that rematch. But ‘The Lion’ retired instead. Even after promising a rematch.
@@jimclaus1576 I scored the fight 3-3 after 6 rounds. Klitschko was also exhausted. I've watched the fight ;) They both gave each other problems, but let's not pretend Klitschko beat him up
Lewis starched opponents through the guard. Different breed to the vast majority of HWs, if we're talking a prime Lewis, I don't think Usyk would even entertain the idea of the fight.
Lewis was knocked out twice. And struggled against Klitschko. Lewis beat Holyfield after Holyfield already had 3 wars with Bowe and 2 wars with Tyson. Lewis beat Tyson when he was way out of prime. Usyk beat everyone prime for prime. Never had a single loss.

@gypsyemperor7535 True. Under cooked and arrogant but avenged both losses. Beat Mason,Ruddock(was at both fights)Mason undefeated and Ruddock generally recognised as the best heavy at the time. Beat Holyfield twice but one was stolen. Tua,Mercer,Tyson(well past his prime)Grant,Morriston and Klitchko. I would stick him in as a top 5 all time.
2 bums? The guy who beat Tyson is sparring everytime is a bum now? Besides one was early stoppage and the other was a lucky shot, and btw, he ko’d both of them to avenge his losses so🤷♂️ if anything it proves he never fought bums.
Love Lennox - he’s a class act. Pretty sure he gave away some free tickets during the miners strike in 1984. He was in some of the most exciting edge of your seat heavyweight slugfests of recent times ❤
You actually know nothing about boxing? Why exactly wouldn't he blow his own trumpet?! The man's a heavyweight legend. Three-time world heavyweight champion, a two-time lineal champion, and held the undisputed championship. A lot of boxers today couldn't lace his boots.

Height, reach, power and IQ was always just too much for Tyson. before anyone says it, I absolutely love and rate tyson highly. Just unfortunately Lewis was around in the same era.

@darrenwoodings well he just went to heavy weight, and I don't know why you think of chisora as an easy boxer he is strong and would give any one troubles , he finished daniel dubois a way better boxer than chisora and also beated anthony joshua 2 times . And don't forget lenox got knocked out cold 2 times
Usyks only disadvantage is his size and maybe power punch wich is irrelevant...he's too fast too smart too skilled and way too balanced and fast on his fit unreal stamina and iron chin. He literally kills Lewis
Exactly. He’s annoying. Still think he desperately was rooting for Sanders to beat Wladimir because he didn’t want to fight Wlad. Which is why he felt the need to call up Corrie the night before he fought Wlad. He NEVER did that before! And he and Corrie weren’t exactly buddies… lol Sooo… It’s clear he wanted Sanders to take care of that. Wladimir hit harder than Rahman :) And was faster too. Lewis wanted no part of that.
The reason Lennox is still cynical till this day is because he doesn't have Bowe in his resume. So that will always be unfinished business. He cannot be satisfied.
@@gatewayD1 He lost 2 times which means he wasn't "practically" undefeated. Just because you are du😆...mb😆, doesn't change the fact that you are biased and you have zero knowledge of simple words 😆😆😆
Not fair comparison different era, every sport have evolved, boxing now more skilled stamina footwork etc, but also boring. Old boxing are more street fighter don't have skill but interisting. Lewis and usyk both are great in he's era
Why wasn't The Klitshiko's mentioned? Lennox cut Vitalis eye, and the fight was stopped. Vitali was ahead on the score cards. And Lennox would not give him a rematch.. Lennox knew Vitali was going to reign. And his time was over. Look at all the yrs Vitali and Wald dominated the Sport. The truth is the truth here. Let's all respect it.
These are just philosophical thoughts... Everything is decided in the ring at a certain time. Usik does a very good job!🥊💙💛

I’d agree with Lennox and I love how he said uppercuts. Knowing it would take more than 1 to beat Usyk. Still it’s easier said than done. 2 of the greats in heavyweight boxing I’ve had the joy to watch. Get up!
Who would win: Prime Lewis or Prime Usyk?
Usyk. Lewis not quick enough to land those uppercuts flush imho. And even if he did he would need to land multiple to stop Usyk. Usyk on a close pts decision.
Lewis
Lewis...Joe Bugner and Audley Harrison both beat Usyk
Lewis all day long. I don't think he would of been a champion. The division was strong
Prime Lewis. Emphatically this isn't a question for me, a prime Vitali would have been a serious test for Usyk
Might come off as arrogant but he’s not lying, Lewis is the same size as AJ but is also a really good boxer
Similar size to Joshua that's where comparison ends. LEWIS IS GREATEST

@@reuben1jacobsonlearnt some new words and now you think you’re Socrates. 🙄
@@reuben1jacobson brother it’s an opinion just because he said it doesn’t mean it’s true 😂😂😂 however I must agree with him Lennox would of found a way to beat anyone. (In my opinion)
I think you got something on your nose
@@reuben1jacobsondid you have a stroke mid sentence? 😅
Lewis had a suspect chin though. Usyk is too smart for those old heavyweights
Not a chance
To say Lewis had a suspect chin after the bombs he took from Vitali is ludicrous.
@@DeanFarquharson guy don't know what he's talking about😂😂😂😂
Lewis had a great chin
@@ghsense2626 Lewis and Ali too quick and too smart for Usyk!
This answer is as level headed as it can be ❤
Very honest response
Prime lewis everyday and twice on sunday he had everything footwork, handspeed, power and resilience
he was knocked out by two homeless people in his prime
@@meowmeow1338he avenged them
@@meowmeow1338 he beat both in subsequent rematches
@@meowmeow1338came back with knockouts on them both! Relax with the hate.
@@Porter540
if he was that great he wouldn't have lost to them the first time
Usyk will mesmerise Lennox.
Lennox is the GOAT.
Nuff said.
Got smoked twice by nobody's
@gypsyemperor7535 True. Under cooked and arrogant but avenged both losses. Beat Mason,Ruddock(was at both fights)Mason undefeated and Ruddock generally recognised as the best heavy at the time. Beat Holyfield twice but one was stolen. Tua,Mercer,Tyson(well past his prime)Grant,Morriston and Klitchko. I would stick him in as a top 5 all time.
Okay, fanboy....lmao!!
@@stevenwerezak4532 Yawn!😴
LENNOX LEWIS IS UNDERRATED FR
Lennox is his own biggest fan. I've never seen a so called great get one punch KO'd twice and still be called the greatest
Nonsense
@@MR.What1234-v7v Name a great fighter that got one punched KO'd by average boxers like Oliver Mcall and Hasim Rahman
Yeah, he is in love with himself. He is a top 3 all time heavyweight though.
@@inconvenientfacts6452who cares? He stopped both in the rematches and came out on top of the greatest era of heavyweights.
Lewis is the goat if you say diff your a casual sloper look at his old fights and the era he was in
Lewis was knocked out cold by 2 bums and was beaten black and blue and retired by Vitali.
2 bums? The guy who beat Tyson is sparring everytime is a bum now? Besides one was early stoppage and the other was a lucky shot, and btw, he ko’d both of them to avenge his losses so🤷♂️ if anything it proves he never fought bums.
Vitali face looked like a smashed piece of pizza when the doctor stopped the fight. My God what are you talking about
Oliver McCall was not a bum.
@@JK_073He didn't knocked out Oliver McCall
@@Ultra_Karas228 well it was a stoppage nevertheless
Usyk, hands down.
Yeah I agree I’m 41 and did appreciate his good Lewis was then we had an abundance of classy heavyweights then so people took him for granted.
Love Lennox - he’s a class act. Pretty sure he gave away some free tickets during the miners strike in 1984. He was in some of the most exciting edge of your seat heavyweight slugfests of recent times ❤
This guys always blowing his own trumpet.
You actually know nothing about boxing? Why exactly wouldn't he blow his own trumpet?! The man's a heavyweight legend. Three-time world heavyweight champion, a two-time lineal champion, and held the undisputed championship.
A lot of boxers today couldn't lace his boots.
@@Henry-to6yz Greats never ever did that...I'm not talking about Mickey Mouse champions, I'm talking about GOATS such Muhammad Ali
Mike Tyson, Joe Lewis, Sugur Ray & just to let you know I know more about Boxing then your wildest imagination SON
Because he can. A real super heavy weight
Rightly so ,he was asked question ,he answered it
He’s just speaking facts. In my opinion. I think Lennox is the best heavyweight ever
I think Mike’s the only person Usyk struggles with. Angles, speed and power on another level.
😂 Indian expert, Lewis beat Mike.
@@TimothyMcVeigh69 Timothy with a women’s profile picture, Lewis beat a washed it, unmotivated Mike Tyson and styles make fights sir or Madam.
@@TimothyMcVeigh69who’s talking about Lewis?
@@TimothyMcVeigh69 prime Mike beat usyk in 30 seconds
Lets not forget how good lennox jab was usyk would have struggled
We do ,he was amazing ,best British boxer
@@therobbieunited totally agree m8
Greatest jab of all time
@@JK_073 him and larry holmes for me
Lennox Lewis: always honest. And correct.
Respect
Lewis got rocked by Hasim Rahman so can't really tell I think prime Tyson would have killed him he fought tyson too late.....
Prime Tyson got KO'd by Douglas
Yeah most Americans hold on tight to a prime tyson blah blah blah....nope sorry but lewis was just bad stylistically for tyson, what ever time they would have fought. Height, reach, power and IQ was always just too much for Tyson. before anyone says it, I absolutely love and rate tyson highly. Just unfortunately Lewis was around in the same era.
@@ScorpionSuerte tyson werent training for that fight
kevin rooney tyson trainer saidthat was not ,focussed ,serious switched on sharp tyson
was douglous at his best in the holyfeild fight no that wasnt the same Douglas and that wasnt the same tyson that fought berbeck or Michael spinks
however buster won fair and square but that wasnt a discplined ,sharp tyson
Forgets the hidding Klitschko gave him...
Forget the vagina he put on the Klitschko eye
lewis won that fight
what are you talking about?
@@theinformationbomber7102 You obviously never saw the fight, otherwise you'd keep your mouth shut...
@@antonyvaughan7808 you didn't see the cut on vitali's eye
Lewis is beast
What he says always seem to make sense. A great gentleman, great boxer. Not a great showman and sure underrated
Usyk would kill lenox
🤣🤣🤣
@@dntino1340 it shows how ignorant you are
@@abbash1635 like he killed chisora lol 😂
@darrenwoodings well he just went to heavy weight, and I don't know why you think of chisora as an easy boxer he is strong and would give any one troubles , he finished daniel dubois a way better boxer than chisora and also beated anthony joshua 2 times .
And don't forget lenox got knocked out cold 2 times
Exactly my thoughts
Lewis is a delusional fool. Usyk has a superior boxing IQ & skills & would destroy Lenox, just the way he did with Fury and Joshua 😅
How old are you. ?
@@madsjensen9712 39
Fury doesn't have the skills that Lennox Lewis had. Lewis had one of the best boxing IQ, personally I think he is second to Mahomed Ali only.
Exactly my thoughts...he's thinks like a 5 year old...usyk literally kill lewis
Usyks only disadvantage is his size and maybe power punch wich is irrelevant...he's too fast too smart too skilled and way too balanced and fast on his fit unreal stamina and iron chin. He literally kills Lewis
Nobody loves Lennox like Lennox loves Lennox
Exactly. He’s annoying. Still think he desperately was rooting for Sanders to beat Wladimir because he didn’t want to fight Wlad. Which is why he felt the need to call up Corrie the night before he fought Wlad. He NEVER did that before! And he and Corrie weren’t exactly buddies… lol Sooo… It’s clear he wanted Sanders to take care of that. Wladimir hit harder than Rahman :) And was faster too. Lewis wanted no part of that.
The reason Lennox is still cynical till this day is because he doesn't have Bowe in his resume. So that will always be unfinished business. He cannot be satisfied.
Prime Lenox Lewis with the dreadlocks was a destructive beast.
He's definitely top 3 Heavyweight GOAT
Lewis defeated practically every opponent he’s ever encountered.
Lol you are using words without even knowing their meaning 😂. Practically defeated every opponent?! 41-2-1 😆😆😆.
Seems like you not that educated.
He rematched the 2 loses and won .
So he defeated everyone .
Now go back and educate yourself.😉
@@gatewayD1 this is priceless. The kid who doesn't know the meaning of basic words tell me to educate myself 😆😆😆
@@gatewayD1 He lost 2 times which means he wasn't "practically" undefeated. Just because you are du😆...mb😆, doesn't change the fact that you are biased and you have zero knowledge of simple words 😆😆😆
@@gatewayD1 Now go cry more because your idol lost 2 matches 😆😆😆
Not fair comparison different era, every sport have evolved, boxing now more skilled stamina footwork etc, but also boring. Old boxing are more street fighter don't have skill but interisting. Lewis and usyk both are great in he's era
Lennox looking fresh man fair play! And yes Lennox right up there in the boxing echelons.
Lennox is in my top 5. He was an incredible heavyweight champion.
The man telling u all the truth
One of the heavyweight goats. Avenged all of his losses.
HAHAHAHA homie was too scared to face a prime Mike Tyson and he thinks he couldve beaten Usyk? Gtfo
My favorite heavy weight boxer I don’t believe any of this generation stood a chance against many of these guys from his era.
A true legend
Love Lennox! Say. Like it is one of the greatest ever
lennox is great .. he knows wht he can do
Spoken like a true champion 👌👊
Lewis is the heavyweight GOAT on skills alone
Lewis was so so good. Underrated champion
Lennox still never given his dues. By far the greatest of his era & up there with the all time greats.
Why wasn't The Klitshiko's mentioned? Lennox cut Vitalis eye, and the fight was stopped. Vitali was ahead on the score cards. And Lennox would not give him a rematch.. Lennox knew Vitali was going to reign. And his time was over. Look at all the yrs Vitali and Wald dominated the Sport. The truth is the truth here. Let's all respect it.
Very good take and props given to Usyk. Lennox a few others had the Ring generalship, the Chin, and the skills to handle Usyk
These are just philosophical thoughts... Everything is decided in the ring at a certain time.
Usik does a very good job!🥊💙💛
I’d agree with Lennox and I love how he said uppercuts. Knowing it would take more than 1 to beat Usyk. Still it’s easier said than done. 2 of the greats in heavyweight boxing I’ve had the joy to watch. Get up!
Love lewis respect to all heavy weights during this era !!!
Empty words to compare because Usyk cannot ever disprove this.
Huge man, people forget his size and ferocity because he appears so calm and personable.
Greatest British Heavyweight of all time!
