I'm just wondering, why are most people picking Lennox to KO Wlad? Yes, he has a longer reach, but Wlad is very hard to hit, he keeps himself protected at all times and RARELY loses a round. Lewis sometimes keeps his hands too low and gets hit quite often, and if he got hit by flush shots from Wlad...

he got hit flush from Mercer, Klitschko, Tua, Briggs..... Knocking out Chris Byrd and Calvin Brock doesn't make you a power house.

Yea, and Wlad is stronger than most if not all of those fighters, other than maybe Tua. I'm not saying Lewis has a weak chin, it's better than people think, but like I said, he kept his hands too low too often, and believe me if Wlad caught him like Briggs did, he would finish the fight.

I agree with almost all of these excepr for joe louis, I think louis would beat wlad but other than that great list

[TheGreatA]

Let's see Wlad against someone like prime Briggs and people would be surprised at what Briggs could do. We've never seen Wlad against someone like Lewis either, we haven't seen him against much yet.

These discussions should be left until the day he retires. Wlad could get knocked out in his next fight and forgotten like he was after Sanders did it to him.

I agree. It seems some people are just very carried away. Some of the same people tell me Ibeabuchi is overrated because he only fought two name fighters, yet list Klitschko beating most all time great champions. It's not great logic.

We are all entitled to our opinions.

I enjoy watching Wlad fight. He has a terrific offensive arsenal and one of the best jabs in heavyweight history. The problem is that he is uncomfortable exchanging punches. Lewis had no problem trading, and with his size that spells big problems for Klitschko. I see Klitschko winning some early rounds, but by midway Lennox catches him and takes him out. When it comes to being in a tough fight there is just no comparison between the two of them.

I am amazed the amount of people that pick wlad over Liston. Liston had an amazing jab probably the most powerful jab ever at heavyweight i would pick Liston to KO wlad. If Liston can out jab wlad, wlad would be in trouble as all his work comes of the jab. Biggest problem for wlad in a match with Liston though is Liston's reputation would get to wlad imo and he would be very nervous i think he would gas out due to nerves and get KO'd. why put Archie Moore in the list?

[77Ritchie77]

only small heavyweights (height wise) who have a chance at wlad are ali and tyson. anyone else 6'2 and under wlad wins by KO.
wlad vs lewis someone would get knocked out theres no way two big ****ers who have the power and chins that they do go a full twelve. i say wlad wins it though, as he controls the ring better than any heavyweight ive seen.
i think ali beats wlad, i think foreman KOs wlad. i too do not know what to think of an under 6 foot killing machine in tyson facing a methodical 6'6 powerpunching technician such as wlad.
too bad we never saw tyson face one of the klitschkos in his prime, would've been great no matter who won
