Wladmir Klitschko vs Prime Lennox Lewis

[geribeetus]

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

i'm the exact opposite. i think lewis needs a ko to win. he's been outboxed by big guys with a jab. wlad is a really big guy with a great jab. it depends which lewis shows up. the sharp lewis with a killer instinct or the lewis who fought mercer and bruno who coasted.

You dont need to look any further than Lewis v Grant or Lewis v Golota to know the result of this fight. Both guys were highly rated and in Grants case seen as the next big thing. Lennox was able to nulify everything they did well from the get go and impose himself from the opening bell. Lewis was a master at gaining centre of the ring, using his jab and firing hard right hands and uppercuts - he was also incredibly strong on the inside which is somewhere Wlad is terrible when asked to fight there. In short Lewis would jump all over Wlad early, wlad would ressemble something similar to a rabbit in headlights and we'd all get to go to bed early having witnessed another masterclass from one of the heavyweights top 5 greats of all time.

Lewis is big

Lewis is strong

Lewis would win by TKO IMO

Vitali would win by stright up KO

Lewis gets brutally KTFO by Wlad's steelhammer right hand.

Unlike Lennox Lewis, Wlad has never been KO'd/Counted out, he always has the heart to get up and continue fighting.

Lewis got KTFO by two bums and got DOMINATED AND RETIRED by Vitali Klitschko.

wlad got tko'd 3 times by bums and he only avenged one of those losses. lewis avenged both losses in dominating fashion and didn't change into a play it safe and boring style after that.
the klitschkos are very big and good and their size is one of their biggest advantages. however, lennox is almost the same size so they wouldn't have a size advantage.

wlad would die if he fought a prime lenox.

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.

Wladimir has improved, but not by much. His competition has been absolute GARBAGE since Sam Peter.

Fluffy Eddie Chambers is very small, 6'0, 208lbs. Most Featherfisted HW in history next to Kevin Johnson.

Snoozeefest Ibragimov is a small feather-fisted softy as well, he couldn't stop Briggs despite hitting him flush every single time. Briggs is not as ironed chinned as Ibragimov made him look.

HIV Chagaev's only claim to fame is being a southpaw against Valuev, he has no skills or physical advantages whatsoever. He sucks.

Has-been Rahman is OLD and shot, yet Wladimir spent 7 rounds with him. Lennox Ko'd Prime Rahman in 4 rounds.

Lame-duck Brewster was coming off a loss to Serg, Wladimir did not have the balls to fight him in 2005(Prime).

Middle-weight Chris Byrd was a one dimensional speed fighter his entire career. At age 36 his speed was gone and Wlad took advantage of a midget geezer.

Grandpa Austin and Elderly Thompson are even older than Vitali is now. They are old men fighting an early 30's champion. I give Lennox more credit for beating an old Holyfield and Tyson, than Wlad beating two very old nobodies...


His competition is significantly worse than it was from 1998-2005. Are any of the above fighters as good as Corrie Sanders or a Prime Brewster? NONE OF THEM ARE EVEN CLOSE!
