Lewis is Tier 2 and he is alone there.
He is the only 174lber in the country that stands more than a fart's chance in a shit storm against Starocci at a D1 NCAA collegiate folkstyle match this season.
Now the only two 174lbers that can beat Lewis, aside for Starocci, are Labriola and Foca. Interesting, right? I don't see Lewis or Romero or Lautt beating Lewis. Those three could certainly beat Labriola or Foca, though and there would be zero surprise there.
Lewis is the better, more accomplished wrestler and he did lose when they met again. I absolutely would favor him in a rematch if/when it happens, though.
