    Klitschko fans are just as bad as floyd fans.

      Lewis was saved by the doctor. He did a good job of working the cut, but it was clear enough that Vitali was the better fighter overall.

      Today's Wlad would have a very easy time with any version of Lennox Lewis. Lewis with his clumsy feet could never even get set to throw a punch

      Len rates ahead of Vitali by virtue of his better overall career, but head to head he's not on par with either Klitschko

        It was those same clumsy feet that tripped up Vitali possibly damaging his ankle but the brave warrior Klitschko chose to continue anyway.

          I disagree. Both Klitschkos look clumsy on their feet. A PRIME Lennox Kos Wlad and UDs Vitali. I think that cut was incredibly lucky, like a once in a lifetime thing.

            Vitali is a bit flatfooted, but even big Lewis fans admit that Wlad is the only one of the three with fluid footwork. Wlad moves like a dancer. In his last few fights he showed the best footwork of any HW since Holyfield was in his prime.

            Some Lewis fans debate whether Len had hands as fast as Wlad's, or whether he hits harder, but no one tries to claim Len could move his feet like Wlad.

              He looks like Fred Estair against guys who are on their last legs. Hasim Rahman, Tony Thompson, Ray Austin, these guys didn't even belong in the ring with them. I'm not saying Lewis' footwork was better but, Wlad's isn't as great as people say it is. From the way you put it, it's like he's the rebirth of Ali in white eastern european form.

                I wouldn't say it was completely one sided but Vitali certainly had the edge imo through the first 6 rounds.

                  It was pretty one sided before Vitali was blinded by the blood and couldn't see the punches anymore and the supposed hard hitting Lewis still couldn't put him away. Anyone that ranks Lewis at a top 10 power punching hw is on crack.

                      After 4 years without a fight, Vitali beat a current title holder. Tyson beat Peter McNeeley. Remind me which title he had again?
                      Sam Peter is a limited, fat, and crude slugger. I love how some of you Klit fanboys overrate him.
