Most of the top heavyweights of the late 60s early 70s would have beaten lewis?

Question

that includes jerry quarrey george chuvalo earnie shavers ken norton chuck wepner joe bugner ringo bonevala jimmy young ron lyle ect and they and most of these guys never won a title

Answer 1

jerry quarry,jerry quarry,hahaha he was a freaking cruiserweight that barely broke 200 lbs.lewis would kill quarry.

george chuvalo-had a great chin but thats it.he had little skills.lewis would win by dicision.

ernie shavers-maybe and i stress maybe could beat lewis.he had a glass chin.so if he didn't ko him in the first or second round lewis would kill him in the end.

ken norton- was good but he just didn't have what it takes to finish off big fighters.loseing in the second or first round 3 times and getting ko'd 4 times.he had a fragile chin.

chuck wepner-h**l no he sucked,he was a horrible fighter.the only highlight of his career was LOSEING to ali.he would get his @$$ handed to him.

joe bugner- always choked when it counted.he always lost the important fights.there is no way he could beat lewis who is bigger than he is and lewis has prooven he could win the title.

ringo bonevala-he was not even 6'0" tall he was anther loser that always choked in the big fight.he was to little to beat lewis.

jimmy young-are you serious he lost 19 fights he even at one point in time lost 8 out 10 fights at one point.how can you think the man who was weak as h**l and only ko'd 11 people out of 34 fights could beat lewis.

ron lyle-hahaha ummmm no.he sucked he just didn't have the balls to beat anyone with talent.he was beat by a very small jerry quarry.yeah he was wba champ but that lasted like a weekend.

lennox lewis was 6'5" 230lbs and a prooven champ.foreman,bowe and tyson all ran from him.yeah he lost by ko's a few times but he always came back and ko'd them early in the fight.he retired as champ and in my eyes alot better than all those small weak @$$ fighters that couldn't win the big one(i know norton was champ for a short amount of time).

Answer 2

Jerry Quarry  - No.  

George Chuvalo - No.

Ernie Shavers - Possibly - He might win by a knockout, with the power he had.  He nailed Ali but Ali stayed on his feet.  He nailed Holmes but Holmes beat the count.      

Ken Norton - No.

Chuck Wepner - Are you kidding?  

Joe Bugner - Maybe but the chances are slim.

Oscar (Ringo) Bonevena - No

Jimmy Young - The Jimmy Young that clobbered Ron Lyle and Beat Foreman and almost beat Ali, I would say yeah.  That version of Young would throw enough flurries to beat Lewis.  Later in his career Young was not that good/fast.  

Ron Lyle - Maybe  - he had a punchers chance.

Answer 3

jerry quarry- no Quarry wouldn't be able to beat Lewis, Quarry had a lot of heart and stamina but those were the only things he had, Lewis had the size advantage ,the power and the skill to beat quarry by decision any time.

George Chuvalo- The hardest chin in boxing, george is one of my favorite fighters (and a great humanitarian) but he had some flaws, he took a lot of hits and left himself open for more (he relied heavily on his abilty to take punches) and that would have worked against him in the score cards because lewis is the type of fighter who takes advantage of his opponent's weaknesses,by the fourth round he would realize that he can not knock chuvalo out and thus he would simply settle for landing as many punches as possible and earn a decision.

Earnie Shavers- Lewis would loose against shavers in my opinion, shavers was quite technical yet he possessed terrific knock out power, and lewis has been dropped by guys like rahman and mccall, i am sure shavers could drop him too.

Ken Norton - Last time i checked Norton was a champion at some point but never mind, I think this fight could go either way, Norton was a very good boxer with under rated power, he was accurate and crafty, he would have a tough time against lewis, who had all the physical advantages, lewis knew how to fight guys like Norton and could very well earn a victory here

chuck wepner- Chuck wepner beat lennox lewis? PLEASE.

the other guys you mentioned would lose, Lewis on his best days was a formidable opponent with the abilty to handle any kind of fighter, he made some mistakes in his career and had some questionable losses (all of which he later avenged) he learnt from his mistakes early and could adapt to whatever situation,moreover his size and reach as well as his dangerous right hand made it very hard for opponents to get a clean shot or get inside, you should not under estimate this boxer my friend.
