Prime Lennox Lewis vs Prime Wladimir Klitschko

[Pullcounter]

an old lewis turned vitali's face into hamburger... a prime lewis destroys vit

[Trim0]

Lewis by UD, Wladimir defence has improved now

i'd say lewis by knock out
wlad folds under pressure

[AntDawg]

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.

This is a guy who got knocked down 3 times by Sam Petter?? What defense are you talking about?

Which was prime Lewis? The 29 year old that was starched by a single punch in rd 2 from clubfighter McCall? If his prime was before that, he sure wasted it fighting poor competition. Most say his prime was in his mid 30's, where he was starched by journeyman Rahman in 5, but then say he was shot at 37 when he fought Vitali. Funny, I thought 37 was mid 30s.

funny how klitschko nuthuggers easly forget lamon brewster, purity and sanders

[paul750]

The best Lewis was probably the one in the Rahman rematch. Lewis was at his best when he was motivated, so in a lot of his fights he didn't really show just how good he could have been.

[paul750]

Saying McCall is a club fighter is just silly. The guy has physical gifts most people can only dream of.
