  • Title Defenses: W. Klitschko 13 Lennox Lewis 12

    I don't know if anyone has made a remark about this but last night with his victory over Chambers Wladimir has eclipsed the career total defenses of Lennox Lewis.

    Lewis' Defenses:

    Frank Bruno
    Phil Jackson
    Henry Akinwande
    Andre Golota
    Shanno Briggs
    Zeljko Mavrovic
    Holyfield
    Francois Botha
    Michael Grant
    David Tua
    Mike Tyson
    Vitali Klitschko

    Klitschko Defenses:

    Derrick Jefferson
    Charles Shufford
    Francois Botha
    Ray Mercer
    Jameel McCline
    Calvin Brock
    Ray Austin
    Lamon Breswster
    Sultan Ibragimov
    Tony Thompson
    Ruslan Chagaev
    Hasim Rahman
    Eddie Chambers

    I would say that Wlad has 6-8 fights left in him which could bring his career total over 20 titles defenses and put him in very select company. I believe only Holmes and Louis had as many as 20 in the Heavyweight Division.

    Looking at Lewis' list it isn't very impressive, especially considering the high regard he is held in today. His biggest and most impressive win is arguably Vitali Klitschko, a guy who most Lewis supporters consider to be highly overrated.

        10X huh?

        I would say that Ruslan Chagaev would easily beat half the guys on Lewis list and maybe more.

        I would favor even Tony Thompson over the version of Tyson that Lewis beat.

          It's actually 13-11.

          Vitali dominated Lennox and scared him into retirement.

            No, all bias aside, Wlad's is actually better. Wlad's list has many fighters who had never been stopped before.

            Nearly all of Lennox's opponents had been previously KOed and were past their prime.

            I know why you hate Wlad, you racist bastard.

              Wlad Klit will make twenty successful defences, and rightfully acquire ATG status. And Holmes list is a bum feast compared to Wlads so far.

                Vitali dominated Lennox and scared into retirement. That's a Fact,
                It goes both ways, Lewis beat Holyfield twice and only got credit for one.

                Any way you cut it Wlad has passed him up already and still has plenty of time left to put distance between them.

                  Both have an impressive title defence record but Lewis has a better resume over all.

                    He def have better names. But looking at the state in which Wlad fought his opponents and the state lewis fought his you'll see many past prime fighters on Lewis list. But def more ATG names.
