Lennox Lewis: One of the Greatest Heavyweights?

[Run]

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.

That is simply untrue.

Wlad is much stronger, and harder hitting than Lewis.

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.

POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK!!!
ur in no position to say whos biased, bozo.

Hmm I don't think so, Lewis probably had the best straight riht hand the heavyweights division has ever seen.

I'm not a big fan of either guy, but Lewis would wreck Wlad. Two different classes of fighter here.

Joe Louis' right hand was much better than lewis'.

Lewis would break Wlad

Lewis would hurt Wlad badly I would say it would be either an early KO or late Stoppage...Samuel Peter knocked Wlad 3 times in that fight he got up on the count of 7 in the last knockout he won because he outboxed him.


Lewis won from Klitschko in a stoppage but he would win from Wlad from a early KO if lewis was still fighting.

And thats simply because Lewis has a lot of power, hes got a hell of a strong jab, a good hook.

Joe Louis' right hand was much better than lewis'.

I knew someone was going to say that. Every punch Joe threw was textbook, but LEwis had more range on his...and he had a lot more force behind it. His straight right hand could completely turn a fight around. (Shannon Briggs much?)

earnie shavers had a lot of range and steam behind his right hand, too. but earnie shavers' isnt as good as either.

louis could counter, lead, wear down, KO, suprise, upset, turn around, etc. with his right hand. lewis just used his right hand cuz it was his best punch and he relied on his right too much. louis used it perfectly, but he didnt rely on it like lewis did.

lewis' right hand may have done more damage due to lewis size and strength, but louis was faster, more accurate, sharper, straighter (if thats a word), more versatile, and more skillfully used.

The only good fight Lewis would get is Against James 'Lights Out' Toney but Lewis would get a Splid decision if the fight would exist, thats my prediction.

Bold = bad comparison...

I already said this...Louis' punches were textbook. everyone was thrown with precision and power. The reason I believe that Lennox' straight right was better though is because of the range/leverage/force he got behind it. Lewis wasn't some wide swinger with that right hand either. His cross and uppercuts were both thrown quickly and accurately. I just think the range/power aspects set it apart.

Lewis wouldn't play into James' strengths. Toney would have a lot of trouble getting around the heavy jab and right hand fest that he'd be hit with. Lewis was also very intelligent in the ring, so he would probably play it safe.

I don't believe Toney could knock Lewis out. He'd have a shot at beating him but itd be a very small shot.
