Even the faded Lewis that beat Vitali would have been too much for Wladimir. No way does Wladimir take those shots his brother took. The Lewis in Rahman II form gets him out of there pretty quick I'd say. Lewis was only knocked out when he underestimated his opponents. It wouldn't happen here.
the first guy that lands clean wins by knockout. vitali rocked lewis early and wlad is a much better one punch guy than his bro. sure those shots vitali took could have knocked wlad out,,,but who gets there first? its a toss up
If he can take Vitali's punch he will be fine with Wlad's.
Vitali has 35 w's and 34 ko's.
Wladimir has taken much better opponent than vitali, and much more fight's..
BUt could Lennox take a good shot from Wladimir like he did from Vitali. I think WLadimir has a much better punch.
Lennox is the more complete fighter, Wladimir is faster and both men have a hard punch but a questionable chin.
===> hard to predict

I don't think Vitali is a much lighter hitter than Wlad. His hands are slower, and his style less fluid, but he laid out Kirk Johnson and Danny Williams with some very heavy handed shots.
The key to getting Wlad is very simple - you have to land a clean shot to his chin, which is much easier said than done. You have to wait til he's fatigued (e.g. Brewster) or you have to be tall and good (e.g. Sanders). Lennox is the latter in spades (especially in his prime). I see this going the way of Lewis-Golota (or Sanders-WKlitschko) - i.e. it ends early and suddenly. Lewis KO2.
Vitaly is much lighter hitter than his younger brother, believe me...and i don't believe, that lewis can survive first rounds punches...altought, lewis chin is not that bad that someone say'ing. Lewis takes a lot of hard punches in fight against vitaly in a couple first rounds and i dont think that he can survivor, if the puncher is wladimir...
Emanuel Steward can only give advice and guide fighters, he can't win fights for them, he can't make them take better shots, and he can't increase their natural ability. He's a good trainer, but not a god. Lennox is the proven fighter at the very top level.
Emanuel Steward would win the fight. The man has knowledge of both guys strengths and weaknesses, and I'd place a heavy load of cash on whoever he decides to train.
As far as raw boxing ability goes, Vitali is superior to Wlad. Everytime a journeyman whopped Wlad's ass, he would go cry to his big brother Vitali to finish the job. I though that was cute.
who won have won with
lenox "nutrasweet glutias maximus" lewis
vs. wlad "white chocolate" klitko?
yeah yeah snarfy snarf
When Tyson starts his new job as a man whore, are you going to hire him for the night?
Lewis get a lot of bunches from vitaly in early round's, who is much lighter hitter than wladimir........I don't think Vitali is a much lighter hitter than Wlad. His hands are slower, and his style less fluid, but he laid out Kirk Johnson and Danny Williams with some very heavy handed shots.

..but, can lewis really handle wladimirs speed?and He is much more better overall boxer, than Briggs or Golota...and Lewis get a lot of bunches from vitaly in early round's, who is much lighter hitter than wladimir........
Lewis was a very quick starter against big guys. He obviously wouldn't be able to take Wladimir's shots all night, but he wouldn't need to, he'd more than likely get him out early. Lennox Lewis took punches from Vitali, Briggs, Mercer, tyson etc, don't give me this crap about Lennox having a bad chin.
Lennox Lewis's biggest opponent was Lennox Lewis.
Look at what they said about Razor Ruddock. Lennox dealt with him easily.
Even the faded Lewis that beat Vitali would have been too much for Wladimir. No way does Wladimir take those shots his brother took. The Lewis in Rahman II form gets him out of there pretty quick I'd say. Lewis was only knocked out when he underestimated his opponents. It wouldn't happen here.
agree wlad could not take the shots lewis threw at vit, but could lewis take wlads punches?
i doubt it
BUt could Lennox take a good shot from Wladimir like he did from Vitali. I think WLadimir has a much better punch.
