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

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

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..

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

Lewis would've phucked him up, something dirty.

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

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...

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.

Wladimir has successfully altered his style to protect his weakness which is his chin. The HWs of today are either too small to get to that chin or are just not good. Lewis is just bad style match up for Wladimir. Lewis had the style and size to get to that chin. Once that happened, its a wrap.

I like Lennox in this matchup, not taking anything away from Wlad, he has done a great job and turn his career which how many fighters how done such a thing as Wlad, not many. Thats what makes Wlad great, and results he put up in the last decade speak for themself. I just like Lennox's power in the match up and he had sick speed with it. I view Lennox as the best fighter i ever saw which goes back to the 90's, i was too young to know about fighters pre-90's.

:lol1: Well Wlad lost to Sanders before Lennox fought Vitali. So many thought Wlad could win after Lennox beat Tyson? I'm just saying around that time, many thought that if Lennox was to start slowing down, Wlad was the next guy to have the best chance of beating him and taking over the division. Clearly, that was before the Sanders fight. What I'm getting at more is that I don't see why he would have a chance then, but people don't fancy him to win now...funnily enough even though he's better and much more defensively sound now, but was 'exciting' back then.

An interesting thing is...many wanted Wlad to fight Lennox at the time, and fancied him to have a real shot of winning, and that's when Wlad was far inferior to what he is now, defensively especially...so I'm not sure what basis there is for a fairly faded Lewis to beat prime Wlad, let alone as convincingly as some claim. :lol1: Well Wlad lost to Sanders before Lennox fought Vitali.

Lennox by stoppage.

Can't agree on that. Wlad has significantly better jab, he has much better straight right, he is a bit faster, has a slightly better footwork, has a better defence, and more one-punch power, has a better left hook. Lennox has a significantly better chin, he has much better inside game, he is a bit tougher than Wlad, has a great uppercut. So no, Lennox can't do everything Wlad does, nor other way around. lol..

Lennox Lewis is 48 years old and he would still knock Klitschko spark out!

One thing that people don't mention, is that Lenox was heavier to fight against Vitali because he wanted, it was part of his strategy. Same with Wlad did to his fight against Wach. About the fight, I don't know, I think that if they had fought three times, probably the three times had been difference.

It would be similar to when Lennox fought his brother. Wlad would be KO'd inside 6 rounds but it would be competitive whilst it lasted.

I don't really see how this would go to a decision - Lennox didn't have the stamina to go 12 in his state, so if Wlad wins this, it's a KO IMO. I would just fancy him to do it, as long as he could limit how much offense Lennox could bring himself.
