Prime Lennox Lewis vs Prime Wladimir Klitschko

[MickyHatton]

Although Wlad can change any fight with one punch i have Lewis winning this 9 out of 10 times...

Thats how I see it.

Obviously Wlad has a punchers chance but Lewis could also punch and was the better all round fighter.

[Jim Jeffries]

1997-2000.

Sounds about right. That Lewis should stop Wlad mid to late rounds, with a bit tougher fight against Vitali, but probably stopping him on cuts.

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

I remember Wlad, 22 years old with 2 yrs as a pro, never having gone past 8 rounds, at 225lbs, pounding on the larger, more experienced Puritty for 10 rounds before falling from exhaustion in the 11th.
I remember Sanders headbutting the hell out of Wlad and I remember Wlad pounding on Brewster for 5 rounds before the ref threw him to the ground while trying to pull him off of Lamon.
Like I said, Lewis would be the favorite, but all of this "he blows this glass chinned bum out quick" garbage is just that.

I'm a big fan of the brothers Klit, but LL kicks the **** outta' Vlad.

Not many dudes out there could beat Lennox in his prime. Prime Bowe, Tyson, Evander, Vitali or Wlad I couldn't see beatin him. My opinion.

[AKATheMack]

Anyone saying Lennox could beat Wlad just because he beat Vitali is a jackass and should slap themselves. The ONLY thing Wlad and Vitali have in common as boxers is their size. They do not fight the same at all. As far as all Wlad does is the 1-2, apparently nobody noticed the left hooks he knocked Austin out with. Wlad hooks off the jab better than any big man ever has. That being said I think Lewis wins by SD or small margin UD, but Wlad is more accurate than Lewis and has better handspeed and I would say a better chin, Lewis has been knocked OUT Wlad has not. Wlad would stand and trade jabs with Lennox all night and there would be LOTS of holding making it an ugly fight. Remember Wlad is not Tua,Tyson, or Rahman he is the same size as Lewis(and hes not Michael Grant)

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.

If you think Lewis was in his prime at 37 and 256 pounds(heaviest of his career) then you're as dumb as you usually look. But then again you think Peter jackson was in his prime when he fought Jim Jeffries so why should I be surprised?

yeah lewis fought morrison, mercer, tua, tyson, golota,... without being dropt and wlad get dropt 3 times by one of the biggest bums of the heavyweight divison

Either Klitschko would probably go through Lennox's resume' undefeated.

Wlad may not beat Lewis, but I know Vitali would have at any point. Lennox got lucky w/ the cut. He was getting comprehensively beaten. Nobody can deny that. 4-2 scorecars tells the tale.

Nobody said Lennox was old until after that fight too.

I'm going with Wlad by KO considering Lewis can be hit by a single right hand and WK has the best in the division at this point by a mile.

I doubt it.

[paul750]

It was multiple cuts, not one cut. Let's not try and change history now.
