I can't see Lesnar vs. Lewis ever taking place. As good as Lennox Lewis is, I doubt he'd stand a chance in a total shoot against a skilled wrestler (Lesnar being a NCAA champion certainly qualifies him as being skilled). All Brock would have to do is stay low and take down the leg and it would be over in a heartbeat. In the 50's, Buddy Rogers defeated Joe Walcott in similar fashion.
Of course, there's also the Ali/Inoki fight from '76, but that was far from a shoot as Inoki was warned by the Yakuza not to lay a hand on Ali. This resulted in a total snoozefest, with Inoki remaining in the crab position for the duration of the match, kicking away at Ali's shins and not letting him get close enough to lay a punch in.
