What would a prime Lewis vs prime Vitali have gone like?

Same as the first result only Lewis doesn't look as bad.

50/50 fight

It would have been one hell of a fight. Very competitive all the way through. Unless Vitali caught Lewis with something big (which he very well might) I would have to say Lewis by close UD. Vitali is better then people credit him for being, but Lewis when he was prime and trim and ready was a monster. Still I can see how Vitali could win, even though Im picking Lewis.

I think Lewis would be able to keep the fight on the outside by using his jab and winning the fight with the jab, it'll probably have a few moments where it turns into a brawl but I doubt it would be anything like their fight in 2003. Klitschko would have his moments but Lewis wins a clear UD IMO.

Probably the same way. LL by TKO, probably by cuts. I don't see him literally knockin VK out tho, even in his prime.

vitali by late stoppage

Lewis by TKO a bit later in the fight, maybe 9th or 10th round. He is too good for Vitali.

Both fighters usually put the opposition to sleep long before cuts where a factor. Big V took an uppercut in the last round that would have floored just about any other HW in history, it was evil. i'm not sure how being 2 rounds down with 6 to go having won the round before is an asskicking, Big V shipped some big shots in that last round. It's an ass kicking when your face is about to fall off.

Anyone who says LL would have KOd him is on crack. LL had trouble KOing people not anywhere near Vits level. I think LL could have won a decision but he would never have KOd him. LL hit him with shots that would have decapitated other HWs and Vit took them like a champ.

No Cut and Lewis Doesn't win.. even in his prime.. It's all in the chin.. Vitali has an Iron one.. Lennox has one made of wood.. Tough but breakable.. hmm so Lewis and Vitali were separated only by their punch resistance? Not the fact that Lewis was better on his feet, had a better jab, could handle being taken to the trenches, knocked out better opponents etc.... Lewis was FAR more proven in world championship fights. He had proven pedigree, Vitali doesn't.

Lennox Lewis's KO% is just under 73% that means 25% of opponents made it to the end of the fight.. Plenty of chance for a cut.. and 75% does not qualify as usually.. that is more like frequently .. usually is 90% and above Actually the judges gave round 6 to Vitali.. and are you saying that Vitali was taking Lewis's best punches and still standing?? I am not sure who you are arguing for?? http://message.axkickboxing.com/images/user_uploaded/kickbox%20to%20the%20head/lewis_klitschko_scorecard.jpg

I asked you if there was a precedent for either case.. Is that your final answer??Both fighters usually put the opposition to sleep long before cuts where a factor.

this must be the most discussed fight ever, haha...but I give. Im always surprised by some people's views on this fight. maybe Im getting mixed up or something, but wasnt the last round of the fight the one in which Lewis landed that huge uppercut and actually hurt Vitali more with a short right hand toward the very end of the round that had vitali really grabbing Lewis? anyways, I actually think that Lewis would win...but by decision. thats new, right? but yea, if Lewis was in better shape and better trained, he probebly wouldnt have gone after Vitali like he did in the real fight, and Vitali probebly wouldnt have gotten so cut up either. Lewis was never someone who thought it was completely necessary to get a KO, unless his opponent was ripe for the picking, he needed it or if it was totally necessary, and Vitali is a pretty durable fellow.

Lennox holds all the cards apart from the chin department. Lennox by UD.

Vitali "the delusional nutjob" Klitschko would get beat by a prime Lewis all day every day.

one cut is a fluke, 2 is a bad night, three... three is a pounding that your body can't answer. I asked you if there was a precedent for either case.. Is that your final answer??

Has Klitschko ever been cut like that before or after??? Did Lewis regularly carve his opponents faces up??? Perhaps this cut was Just a Fluke.. :dunno: People make it sound like Lewis planned to cut him from the opening bell.. The fact is.. he got really fucking lucky and was smart enough to take advantage..one cut is a fluke, 2 is a bad night, three... three is a pounding that your body can't answer.

Nah Big V has an Iron chin, same as the Old Vs prime fight, stop by sickening cut. I still laugh when people say that stoppage was controversial, the guy had half his face hanging off, he would have died from bloodloss if they let it carry on. Yes, that was hyperbole Has Klitschko ever been cut like that before or after??? Did Lewis regularly carve his opponents faces up???
