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.Comment

You mean the 5x knocked out cold Frank Bruno? I beg to differ.
In fact, the theory doesn't work at all but I don't see anyone on Lennox's resume' that would give todays Wladimir any real resistance.
He's just that good. No version of Holyfield could touch todays Wlad and that was Lennox's best win(s). Everyone just needs to break down and accept it.
The scary thing is that I think Vitali is actually better.Comment

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 *****.
true ****!!
but the names on Lennox's list were past their primes when he fought them.
Klit is knocking off all the young in their prime fighters one by one and will continue to do so.
Povetkin is next...he is going to get layed out!
