Lamon Breswster
Sultan Ibragimov
Tony Thompson
Ruslan Chagaev

Eddie Chambers
Monte Barrett
Chris Byrd
Samuel Peter

Losses: Sanders, Brewster, Purity.

Both have very good names, but for me, Lewis has better. He also revenged his losses which helps him while Wladimir has not.

Wlad avenged the Brewster loss savagely. There was no need to avenge the others since Vitali did. Look into it.

[jrosales13]

Why are you ducking my question? If Tua is such a great win for Lennox, then Byrd must be too for Wlad since he took Tua to school.

Byrd is a really good win for Wlad. Byrd and Chagaev are the best wins in Wlad resume still not better than Lennox. And, I don't think Chagaev could beat Tua do you?

[PensionKiller]

Are you trying to put words in my mouth?

Lewis resume right now is superior. Saying that Tua would beat most of Wlad's resume is ******. Chambers, who Wlad KOd yesterday, would probably school Tua like Byrd did, as would a number of other guys in Wlad's resume.

What number of guys in Wlad's resume beats Tua?

I agree Lewis has a superior resume.

[jrosales13]

Who on that list at the time Lennox defeated them would have had a shot at beating the Wlad that stiffened Chambers last night?

That's what I thought.

Vitaly Klitschko?

Yea that's what I thought

[warp1432]

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.

Evander avenged that loss pretty much right before he fought Lewis.

Lewis clearly has the better resume of the two. Wlad's resume is pretty good, but the fact is Lewis fought better fighters in his day and those fighters have accomplished much more then any of Wlad's contenders that he beat the **** out of besides Byrd, Brewster, and Chagaev.

Someone earlier brought up that Golota never beat a top 10 contender in his career. Is that true?

Pretty much, but if a person doesn't want to count Lewis' win over Vitali as legitimate then I guess you could count that Golota also beat Bowe twice then.

I think Lewis taking out Golota in two rounds was impressive though considering that Golota seemed crazy and gave Bowe two hell fights. Lewis taking him out in two was impressive.

I don't know why Wlad fans take such offense to rating Lewis above him. Lewis was a great fighter, so it's not that bad to be behind him.

[PensionKiller]

Wlad avenged the Brewster loss savagely. There was no need to avenge the others since Vitali did. Look into it.

Oh yeah.

I will edit.

As for his brother, like in another thread today, having a brother does not excuse your loss.

Like how Vitali and Wlad both want haye now. Big brother kicking ass does not mean your resume is better

Losses: Sanders, Brewster, Purity. Wlad reveneged his lsos to Brewster.

Both have very good names, but for me, Lewis has better. He also revenged his losses which helps him while Wladimir has not.

That's odd, I could've sworn he avenged Brewster.

No reason to avenge Puritty, and Sanders was undeserving of a title shot by the time Wlad bounced back.

[Pirao]

Byrd is a really good win for Wlad. Byrd and Chagaev are the best wins in Wlad resume still not better than Lennox. And, I don't think Chagaev could beat Tua do you?

Yes, I think Chagaev would beat Tua.

[Jim Jeffries]

Evander avenged that loss pretty much right before he fought Lewis.

Lewis clearly has the better resume of the two. Wlad's resume is pretty good, but the fact is Lewis fought better fighters in his day and those fighters have accomplished much more then any of Wlad's contenders that he beat the **** out of besides Byrd, Brewster, and Chagaev.

Yes Lennox's resume is better, though of course Wlad isn't done yet. I just keep hearing about how Tyson and Holyfield were great wins for Lennox. I don't think they were.

[Mr.Crust]

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.

Wlad could make a hundred defences,but anyone with a decent set of eyes and a brain that works knows that Lennox was a much better fighter and prime for prime would have absolutely anihilated Wlad in less than 5 rounds.
