Wladmir Klitschko vs Prime Lennox Lewis

[Jedi Vader]

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 .

You've forgotten to mention Razor Ruddock.

Can you imagine what Razor would do to Wlad? The same Razor that Lewis sent to Ellerbe street in 2 rounds!!!

Steelhammer is cut and pasting the same old posts from his ****ty Klit licking Word document. He just needs to die.

Uhh Wlad hasnt lost in 6 years. Why is Wlad the only fighter in the history of boxing not allowed to have a prime? The dude is in his prime now, not 6 years ago. Also Wlad tends not to KO people right away, he does play it safe now and is comfortable winning late, rather than risk being caught early taking too many risks. So since they are brothers, and people are saying Vitali was in his prime at 31...So since reaching the age where people say his brother was prime, Wlad has not lost, he hasnt been hurt, he has just been retiring people. Sultan Ibragimov and Eddie Chambers are MIA, possibly never to fight again. Chagaev was saved by his corner which could see the pain coming. Rahman had to take a year and a half off and now is fighting 6 rounders against golden gloves prospects. TOny Thompson is just trying to make a living in boxing, not even looking at rising up the rankings. I mean wlads not just beating people he is wrecking their careers. Lewis "beat" Vitali, Vitali clearly suffered a lot from that fight...you know, being 40 and all right now and still not losing a round to whoever he faces. Lewis is still in hiding, still has his restraining order...its just pathetic.

Wlad has no shot against prime Lennox. It would be ugly.

lewis will have to push the pace like he did against VK. while wlad isnt as durable as his bro, he is more athletic and skilled and i think the bigger puncher. i'll give the lewis advantage, but i wouldnt count out wlad pulling a rahman/lewis I

My first thought was Lewis by KO easily but then I remembered how much Wlad has improved, Lewis would most likely win by stoppage but it will be interesting.

They are pretty much the same size only Lewis has longer arms slightly.

[TheMagicMan]

How could anyone say Wlad has no chance, Lewis throughout his career was just as chinny as Wlad. Sorry, this fight would never happen, prime Lewis ducks the hell out of Wlad, just like he did every other good fighter during his prime.

Absolutely, I instantly judged this fight on his past fights then remembered how now he is a different fighter. Lewis lost early and came back from the loses and is not really judged on them, Wlad has too.

Lewis by KO though I would be pulling for Wlad. I actually think Wlad's jab is better, but his chin is ****. There is no way he'd be able to take Lennox's shots for 12 rounds. If Lewis landed the uppercut that he hit Vitali with on Wlad, he'd probably be in a permanent coma.

Lennox KO
Wlad won't have big height/reach advantage like usual
Lennox have jab and power to match him
either can be KO'd, but Lennox gets to him first

The only reason Lewis lost that one was cos he underestimated Rahman and he undertrained, was overweight and was undermotivated due his own arragance! That wouldn't happen against Wlad. Lewis would be ready and focosed to the max, which wouldn't spell good news for Wlad. Lewis by mid rounds KO!
