Wladmir Klitschko vs Prime Lennox Lewis

[ShatteredGlass]

the god ol "if there old, there shot" theory... pathetic really

vitali is 39 and is dominating the hw division.............. but he is old... and shot

i guarentee you if he loses to david haye, the excuse will be his age

[Joeyzagz]

Two can play the triangle theory game


Lewis got brutally KTFO by Rahman

Wlad easily destroyed Rahman


Lewis TKO'd Phil Jackson in 8 rounds

Wlad brutally KO'd Phil Jackson in 2 rounds


Lewis got a controversial gift decision against Ray Mercer

Wlad was the first man to knockdown and KO Mercer. Wlad annihilated Mercer in 6 rounds.

Wlad fought all of these guys AFTER Lennox had already finished them.

Lennox fought them first and made them shot. Wlad fought the softened up version of Rahman and struggled to an uninteresting 7 round affair. After Lennox and Maskaev had already did better.

And in the case of Mercer, the guy was 41 year old geezer when he fought Wlad. You are truly an idiot.

i would lean towards lewis by ko but wouldnt be shocked if the opposite result occured.

[geribeetus]

lennox was more vulnerable to the jab. he was more willing to mix it up so he was easier to hit. wlad's the bigger dude, and stronger imo. that favors him since this is bound to be a clinchfest. if he plays cat and mouse with wlad i think he ends up losing a decision. especially since he got a little sloppy in some of his tough fights. his best shot is to go straight for the kill. one of those patented lewis uppercuts and wlad's in trouble. he knows how to finish off a hurt opponent.

When has Wladimir ever DESTROYED an opponent the way Lennox did Michael Grant in 2 rounds, or Andrew Golota in 1 round? The only time Wlad destroys guys is when they are really old like Ray Austin or dinosaurs like 41 year old Ray Mercer.

You also have to take into account that a lot of Wlads offense is predicated on his freakish reach advantage, which he wouldnt have against Lennox. LL does better against bigger opponents, while Wlad does better against smaller ones...

Wlad against Big opponents(Mccline/Thompson) have both gone past the 10th

Lennox against Big Opponents(Akinwande/Grant/Vitali) mostly end with him winning in 6 rds or less .

[Phirsole]

A close fight, but I think Lennox takes 6-7 of ten fights. LL by late TKO.

[tyson]

It would be Michael Grant all over again for Lewis. Just too physically strong and brutal for Wlad to handle. Wlad ducks down or leans back when faced with strong pressure.

[ReadyUp]

Lennox is big enough and too good of a boxer to not be able to get his hands on Wlad.
And when you start touching Wlad you see know what happens.

Crumbles. That's no disrespect towards Wladimir. But he's just not built for punishment like his brother. Not even in small amounts. Some guts just don't like to be uncomfortable and hit. Wlad is one of those guys.

[Versatility]

Lewis would murder Wladimir...


An out of Prime, Aged, Out of shape- Fat Lennox Lewis beat the tougher brother who was in his Prime in Vitali, Wlad hasnt got a chin like his brother, so he gets murdered in 4-5 rounds.

[Joe2608]

Lewis by murder.
