Wladimir Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

[Left Hook Tua]

Put the Tyson who fought Ribalta and Holmes (213-215 lbs) against the Louis who fought Baer and Simon (208 lbs) and weight won't be a huge factor.

maybe but joe was predominantly 200+ and mike 220+

wasn't joe only 197 for conn 1? or was that bogus because they didn't want the tale of the tape to be too big a disparity in weight? i know conn was barely over 170 and they listed him at 180+ i think.

[Left Hook Tua]

Wlad would win now, but prime v prime Lewis would take it

sorry wrong thread , bud.

this is a tyson vs. greats thread.

wlad is neither tyson or a great. ha ha ha

Louis was listed at 199½ lbs, Conn was 174 lbs. Louis mostly weighed around 200 lbs until the Buddy Baer rematch, after that fight he weighed around 205-210 and eventually 210-220 past his prime.


The Louis-Conn rematch.


Louis vs Arturo Godoy.

Tyson in his prime was 220 lbs for 3 fights (Ratliff, Berbick, Tucker), he was mostly 215-220 lbs.

Prime for prime Lennox destroys Wlad, but if they fought now I think Wlad beats him up pretty bad. Lennox is way too far past it to come back competitive now.

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Lewis is way out of shape.. no way he stands a chance now.....

He needs like 2 tune up fights before Wlad and age is working against him. If he jumps back in the ring with Wlad now, I don't think he stands a chance.
Wlad is just a much faster and a stronger fighter at this point..

everything in my bank is already on Tua and Margarito.

my bets before that was Glen Donaire and the Lakers!

I'm astonished at the numbers in this poll. Wlad by easy KO early to mid.

If Lewis had about 7-8 months to get back into shape and fight, who do you pick to win if he faced wlad right now?

lewis of today??? i would pick wlad...
