Prime Lennox Lewis vs Prime Wladimir Klitschko

[Fidayeen]

who do you think would win?

[Silencers]

Lewis would win by knockout IMO.

[Naps]

Well, an un-Prime Lewis mashed up a prime Vitali, who is better than Wlad.

Lewis would knock him out.

[Ryn0]

Lewis KO, quite easily IMO.

It doesn't work like that... Lewis would probably win, but prime Lewis would have a much harder time with prime Wlad then prime Vitali.

[Jim Jeffries]

Lewis KO, quite easily IMO.

It could be easy, or it could be like the Mavrovic, McCall, Rahman, Bruno (until the stoppage) etc fights. With Lewis (or Wlad for that matter,) you never know. Obviously Lewis would be the favorite, but I wouldn't put my house on the outcome.

actually i disagree with this. vitali has a much better chin than wlad (probably best chin in the whole damn division), but wlads boxing skills are much superior to vitalis IMO. vitali may have been cut in that fight, but vitali was whipping lewis's ass. he wasnt leading on the score cards for nothing. coincidence that lewis retired right after that fight instead of giving the promised rematch? people are wrong in saying lewis had nothing left to prove. vitali had just put lewis through hell, and instead of rematching, lewis retired. wise decision. with that said, lewis had a fantastic career, but to me, vitali won that fight, and if lewis wanted to erase any questions he would have went out on a REAL win over vitali klitschko.

wlads skills as a boxer are much more disciplined than lewis's, and vitalis for that matter. while it is true wlad has been knocked out before, so has lewis. i think wladimirs defense is far superior to lewis's, and that lewis wouldnt be able to outbox him. wlad ko's lewis IMO, but we will never know.

[Fidayeen]

wlad skills aren't better then lewis his skills, lewis is a more natural boxer u can see that obviously with lewis his footwork and more diverce pucnhes instead of just 1-2. Fact is anytime Wlad has been hit flush either he has panict or gone down. Lennow has been hit flush many times without going donw or panict. So i think lennox lewis would KO wlad pretty easy

[Ryn0]

I would, assuming Lewis takes Wlad seriously (he didn't against Vitali, Rahman, McCall) even then all it would take is one punch and with Wlads chin he'll be in trouble. Wlad doesn't have a chin like McCalls

[Randall_Hopkirk]

Probably a battle of the jabs early on but Lewis would figure out Wlad's robotic engineered style and mix in the hooks and upper-cuts, once Lewis sensed the fear he'd come in for the kill and have him floundering on the floor.

Wlad was scared to make an impression on Ibragimov, would he be prepared to engage with a master like Lennox? His 1-2 style can work against Tony Thompson and Sam Peter, a guy two levels above those is a different matter.
