He would do well. I just don't think he could have beaten a prime Lennox, because he had skills to go with size and reach. we'll never know, because HW's back then weren't as mobile as guys like Ali to Fury. A lot of movement. Where Joe was deadly inside. Outside? again his era didn't have the mobility post Ali, IMO.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
