Title Defenses: W. Klitschko 13 Lennox Lewis 12

[jrosales13]

He dominated an out of shape, inactive, past prime Lennox with his face.

I know why you hate Wlad, you racist bastard.

Seriously man, the whole "You don't like Klitschko therefor you're racist" thing is getting really old

On topic, I hadn't actually noted that. Although we all say Wlad will never be rated in the Top 10 due this era being weak, Joe Louis' era wasn't exactly strong, and some of his title defenses were against total no ones, if I remember correctly. I think Wlad is one of those guys that will be rated higher when he's finished his career off, tbh.

You could argue most of Wlads defenses would be journeyman today.

You mean Lennox's defenses would be journeymen today.

In fact, Golota was really just a journeyman - he doesn't have a single good win on his resume.

Phil Jackson was easily KOed by a young age 21 Wlad.

People were critical of Lewis and his style in his later years. The opinion of him rose greatly after he retired and people saw the lack of other genuine talent.

Likewise when the Klitschkos are gone people are going to see how truly talented they were in the years that follow.

No jokes, the holyfield lewis beat could beat anyone on Wlads resume.

[Pirao]

No all biased aside. Lennox was not in his prime, he was at his heaviest of his career, inactive fighter and still legitely beat Vitaly. Vitaly by himself would beat anybody on that list.

David Tua would beat anybody in Wlad list.

That version of Holyfield still had enough in the tank to beat anybody in Wlad list...

Even a nutcase in Galota would probably beat the majority of Wlad list.

I know you hate black fighters, and you always want to stick up for white but deep down you know that is the truth you racist *****.

Like he beat Chris Byrd, right?

jrosales stalks my posts with nasty replies, ending each reply with "you racist bastard", so I'm just doing the same back to him.

But he really does hate all white fighters - our differences started with him bashing Kessler and Calzaghe.

Yeah, Lewis wasn't regarded as an ATG by as many while active, as far as I know. Yet, when it was all said and done, he's rated as one of the best. Klitschko and Lewis are similar in many respects, IMO. They're styles aren't too far apart, and both suffered some KO losses to guys who they should've beaten with ease.

Yes I bashed Calzaghe by calling him a sure fire HOF'er and the greatest SMW of all time.

Even Ibragimov?

Fact his Lewis fought him far past his best, like 5 years past when Evander was losing to guys he never would've in his prime, like Michael Moorer.



Anyhow, nice job to Wlad, Chambers was a top contender that had earned his shot.
