I think you'd be hard pressed to put any credence behind the
assertion that Lennox Lewis has an appreciably lower skill than Lennox
Lewis. Both are excellent technical boxers. Yes, they have different
styles, but that has more to do with differences in mass, strength, and
speed than it does to "skill level." Don't confuse "quicker" with
"better."
Were De la Hoya and Lewis to fight, even with equal skill, Lewis
would have the edge because his damage is harder to resist (i.e. he has a
higher Strength). This is the diffference you are seeing.
