I'd favor Lewis, but the poll was so ridiculously lopsided, I threw Wlad a vote. Regardless of who would've won, Wlad called Lennox out in Mar 2001 and Lewis didn't want none.
Go to 3:10.
bad timing, lewis lost to Rahman, so he then had to rematch him, then had a monster pay day against mike tyson, then Wlad lost.
Had Lewis not lost to Rahman, who know, he may (or may not) have fought Wlad
What a nonsense is this? You mean a fighter with a 80-1 record could be considered worse than a fighter with a "1-80 record but who has good footwork"? Give me a break.
It's actually the other way around: STYLE, TALENT, REFLEXES etc are completely irrelevant if they don't trickle down as RESULTS (= WINS, KOs). Thus the record tells 90%-95% of the story whereas your subjective feelings and memories ("Wow, what a combo!") are irrelevant. A fighter can throw as many beautiful combos as he wants. If he loses he loses. Boxing is not a style contest.
It's ALL about resume kiddo... you record doesn't mean **** if you don't have a good resume. Same with skills and talent.... it doesn't matter if you don't got a good resume.
Wladimir is one of the best jabbers. Remember what happend to Lewis when he boxed Tucker, Bruno, Mercer and Rahman. Wlad would outjabb him, but Lewis may crush hes glass chin
