I'm talkin' bout the Lewis that beat Holyfield twice, up to when he beat Tua. Basically around the 33-35 year old Lennox, which was when he was at his peak.
I think it is difficult for either fighter. Wladimir on his day is hard for Lennox, Wlad has the quick feet for such a big man, and a quick enough jab. But I feel that Lennox has that 84 inch reach, he would be able to outjab Wladimir. The jab is Wladimir's main tool.
Having said that, Wladimir has such devastating power, 1 punch knock out power. On Freddie Roach's twitter he said Wladimir hit harder than Tyson punch for punch. (though he said Tyson was quicker and more explosive.) So if Wladimir can land a big one he can take Lewis outta there.
However I would think Lewis would get the decision, because I think he would outpoint Wladimir, rather than the chance of Wladimir getting that big 1 punch. It would be close though. Possibly 115-113 Lennox. (but on all 3 scorecards.)
