    If Lewis had been in the ring with Wlad instead of Haye during that 12th round.....

    Haye hit Wlad square with an overhand right after feinting the left-hook. That's exactly the same thing Lennox took Rahman out with in their second fight. Can you imagine if it were Lewis nailing Wlad with that instead of Haye? Wlad might STILL be unconcious

    Well do you guys really think Lewis would allow himself to be outboxed by wlad for that long? No way that would happen. He just wouldn't be in that situation. Period. Lewis would've stopped Wlad alot earlier, probably round 5 or 6

      I think Rahman still is unconcious after that right hand

        No doubt, I would expect that combo would have come a lot earlier tbh.

          If this somehow happened.. I have no doubt Lewis would let his hands go and stop him in the 12th.

              Lewis is just a really bad style matchup for both Klitschko's. There's only 1 other guy that would trouble them worse imo. So it's no shame if the Klits would lose against prime Lewis.

                I disagree, I think he is a bad style matchup for Wladimir, but imo he was tailor made for Vitali imo. I think he would have KO'd Wlad inside of 7, but would have got KOed by Vitali somewhere around the 10th round.

                  Only in some alternate universe where he hadn't already beaten him. At the end of his career. With Vitali in or approaching his prime.

                    Not mention people ignore the fact the Lennox had already turned the fight and was in control at the time of the stoppage. Vitali won the first four rounds, the problem was it was schedualed for twelve and Vitali had already shot his bolt.
