Differences between Lewis and W. Klitschko?

[Burning Desire]

lewis had that big uppercut but he didnt have much of a left hook at all. in fact I only recall him knocking one guy out with a hook,,and it was a long left hook against bruno. true,,he was calmer in the ring than wlad,,,sometimes too calm ( against rahman and mcall)

I don't think Lewis knocked out Bruno with a left hook, that was the punch that set up the finish but if i remember right he never KO Bruno with a left hook. And even that hook was more desperation because he was in trouble in the corner at that time when Bruno staggered him with a jab, right hand, combination if i remember right. But like i said i could be wrong because i haven't seen the fight in ages.

As for Wlad and Lewis comparison it certainly is there, but Lewis did have a stronger chin, he was hit by some flush punches and took them fine, i hate to say this but anytime Wlad gets hit flush he seems to be badly shaken up. He has a big heart though, but i think he has some confidence problems plus he is a bit too robotic for my liking just like his brother.

Lewis's chin isn't as bad as people think.

Your totally right he took flush punches off good punchers like Mercer, Tucker, Briggs, Holyfield, V.Klitschko, Bruno.

Shut your ****ing mouth you pathetic drunk Irish ****sucker.

That was actually a post with some deeper meaning, even though he failed to elaborate the statement.

Lewis knew how to fight. Infight, outside, angles, movement, forward, backward- you name it, Lewis could do it.

I want you, or anyone else, to prove to me that Wlad knows how to infight.

Wlad obviously has a better, stronger jab, but that's pretty much it.

Great post, I'd karma you if I could.

Lewis was artistic not robotic, Lewis had attitude and swagger and didnt shuffle forward in a hesitant tentative manner, he had rhythm and would mix up his style, he would jab then set a trap and step in with the uppercut, he would take risks and would just have a more relaxed demeaner, he wasnt a one trick pony. He was a pugilist specialist with an arsenal filled with punches that he could throw at any given moment lol. If he got hurt he would let it all hang out and go toe to toe. He showed heart and desire.

More than that, he could dance!

Also a great post. Damn, I'm impressed! Two great posts- in the same thread!
Imagine that

Wlad is more tense and more tactical/even nervous looking sometimes, though it seems to be getting better and varies from fight to fight.

Watch the Williamson fight - dude looked like a jittery mess - and he ended up getting KD'd as a result

They're very similar. And Lennox had many nights like last night. Lewis-Tua anyone? Same things were being said after that fight as are being said now about Wlad. Sultan is a southpaw, little awkward, little dangerous, and it was a unification. Wlad chose to win and not take any chances, and I don't really blame him. I'm quite sure you'll see some HW's lying flat from his punches in the future. Every fighter has a fight where they just aren't feeling the big punches flow, for one reason or another.

Lewis threw more right hands and was more adventurous in the first minute of the Tua fight than Wlad was in 12 rounds last night!

Lewis was more fluent and had a better chin, but at the same time he had more lapses than current Wlad does in the ring. He was a better fighter than Wlad overall, but one thing he wasnt is more exciting. He was often criticized for putting on identical performances to what Wlad has been putting on of late.
