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

    I know why you hate Wlad, you racist bastard.
    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 *****.

      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.
      the highlighted are better than everone on wlads list.... / thread

        I agree but some of the guys he fought were better overall than the guys Wlad has faced

            All the guys Wlad's fought since Austin would have KO'd Bruno.

              No.. did anyone accuse you of it?

              This thread is for a discussion, not a debate on racism.

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

                  I Lewis has a slight advantage in quality, no more, no less.

                  For instance, Tyson looks great on paper and he surely has a legacy that exceeds that of any of Wlad's victims, but that version of Tyson also lost to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.

                  Now if Tyson lost to McBride I think it is safe to say he would probably lose to Tony Thompson as well.

                  So how much credit does Lewis really deserve for beating a guy who would have been easily beaten by any number of Wlad's KO victims?

                    Perhaps the one thing seperatng Wlad and Lennox is the fact that Lennox unified the titles and defended the undisputed titles. But there is still time!

                      Wlad has 0 great fighters on his resume.

                      true story.
