2003 Lennox Lewis v 2014 Wladimir Klitschko - Who wins and how?

[yoz]

A tricky one to call. IMO, its all about levels. Lewis, even at his worst, would be head-and-shoulders above the calibre of fighter Wlad has faced in recent years. That's not Wlad's fault - he fights all-comers - but it would be a massive step up and someone who is stylistically capable of getting to his chin.

Lewis T/KO.

TKO6 or less...there is no way around it. Resign yourselves. It has the consistency of KTFO6. It happened. There is no parallel universe that retains existential viability with any other result.

In short, the LL that thumped elder Klitschko has an easier time with little bro'. At least Vitali can take a shot...

[KO'er]

Lewis would be able to outjab Wladimir, and that would completely break-up Wladimirs game plan.

Lewis to win.

This is the interesting thing. I know that some people will say Wlad wins this, yet they will also say Vitali is the greater of the 2....

It's a tough one, who's to know what would have happened for sure if we take away Vitali's cut. Wlad is the more skilled technical boxer, but it's tough to say if technical boxing skills is what was needed to beat Lewis that night. I'd say Wlad probably has a good chance because of his speed, and greater power probably than Vitali.

lewis was so sloppy and open to straight right hands in that fight and wlads right hand is just much more pwerful than vitali's. vitali did hurt lewis in the second round and if that were wlads right hand,,,lennox would have been on his back. then again if it was wlad taking that lewis uppercut in the 5th round than wlad would have been on his back. I voted wlad by kayo becuz lewis was just not in great shape for that fight but tough one to call

Lewis would've phucked him up, something dirty.

I don't understand why people are referencing Vitali so much when they talk about Wlad.

Yes they are brothers, but as fighters they are nothing alike. Both have certain advantages and disadvantages.

[beez721]

lol.. Lennox has the better jab, footwork, defense, power and hook.. he's better in all the departments you listed.

it's smoke and mirrors with Wlad because he's not fighting high caliber opposition so it makes him look better than he is. The truth is Lewis was a far superior fighter and he would have beaten Wladimir even quicker than he beat Vitali.

And the Lewis who did that was in the worst shape of his life, he literally weighed his heaviest ever, he hadn't really trained properly, yet he still stopped Vitali in only 6 rounds. Wlad would literally have no chance, compared to Lewis, Wlad is a B-level fighter.

lewis is more versatile than wlad but no way in hell is lewis's jab as good and powerful as wlads nor is his left hook. right hands are close tho

[Simurgh]

It's getting old but who is interested can check Emanuel's opinion on advantages of both fighters. Without going into who is the better fighter one can compare certain components of the game.

Saying Lennox is better version of Wlad and does EVERYTHING better is plain stupid..

That's because Klitlickers like you always reference both boyfriends as a tag team when making arguments on their 'achievements'.
