    He beat Donovon Ruddock in 93
    He beat holyfied in 1999 when holyfield had two belt IBF AND WBA
    He gave a real bad cut to Klitschko so the match was stopped.
    He beat Mike Tyson and Lewis and Tysons age is the same so u can also say lewis wasnt in his prime either.

      Lewis would KO Wlad in the 1st or 2nd round similar to the Golota fight.

      The only question in regards to that fight would be how long would it take for Lewis to stun Wlad. Once his legs are gone no way does he survive.

      He doesn't have Vitali's chin, and that would be a terrible fight for him.
      OH BOY, HERE COMES BOZO!!! THE GUY WHO DOENST PROVE ANYTHING AND JUST INSULTS ANYONE WHO PRAISES THE KLITSCHKOS!!!

      lewis's KO over golota was a one time thing. golota cracked under pressure and lewis never did that to anyone ever again and he certainly wouldnt do it to some1 as dangerous as wlad.

      wlads jab is longer than lewis'. wlads defense is better than lewis'.

      it would be a pretty even fight, but wlads height and strength would get him the win.

        For the record Holyfield was looking very good going into the Lewis fight. And Vitali got a out of shape Lewis and he still won.

          In the Tyson fight - Mike tyson was heavily favoured but lewis proved it in the ring

          In the Klitschko fight - Klitschko was favoured too but lewis also proved that in the ring

          Lewis sold his IBF title to Don King and then he retired

            Your opinion here is as biased as Mother Klitschko.

            Wlad is breakable, and Lewis would break him.

            NO WAY does Wlad's chin hold up in that fight.

            Vitali would always be a tougher fight for Lewis.

            Wlad is better suited to fight guys like Byrd.

              Lewis was certainly a top 10 heavyweight. He wasn't in the same class as guys like Foreman, Ali, Louis, Marciano and Holmes, but he was great nonethless.

              Lewis KOs Wlad, Jones, and Ruiz.

              He decisions Toney in lopsided fashion.

              Holmes TKOs Lewis late after he hurts him with a big right hand.

                And that was the Belt Byrd and Holyfield were fighting for which was vacant.

                  The Rock would have hell of a time beating Lewis he is much smaller and Lewis has a 1-2 that would hurt him bad.

                    Wow are you ever wrong. Lewis had the much heavier, sharper jab...his right hand was much more powerful and accurate, and he was more intelligent when fighting at range.

                    Lewis would find Wlads chin rather easy to break in the middle rounds and would stop him in brutal fashion. One of those uppercuts that Lewis hit Vitali with would have decapitated Wlad.

                      lewis dropped the WBA belt to avoid john ruiz.
                      lewis dropped the IBF belt to avoid chris byrd.
                      lewis retired to avoid a rematch with vitali.
