    The Klitschkos are no doubt very good and have been unlucky to be top dogs in a bad era, but I do think Lewis was just a shade better than both of them. That's the bottom line really.

    If only the Lewis vs Vitali fight had happened instead of the Rahman defeat. OK, we wouldn't have got to see the great KO Lennox delivered, but we could have potentially had a trilogy of fights that could have been up there with the Holyfield Bowe wars. Pity.

      Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional IMO. We saw what old, fat and unmotivated Lewis did to Vitali and we all know Lewis would destroy any version of Wladimir Klitschko.

        Lewis will always be better than the Klitschkos.

          WLAD'S Jab is garbage, he does'nt have faith in it. He throws his jab like he's scared. Lewis was a very confident boxer, who believed in his jab and his abilities. He had a much harder right hand and the heart of a lion. Wlad is a joke. He fought like a ***** in the haye fight. Haye did all the work in trying to make a fight. Wlad was the big man, he should have imposed his size and strength on Haye, thats exactly what Lewis would have done. Lewis always let you know he was the giant and you were not. Wlad is destroying the intrest in heavyweight boxing with his ***** ass no heart. How can you be 6'8/ 87 in wing span/ at 242 pounds and fight like a scared little *****. Wlad gets no credit. Lewis was a beast and in his prime would have destroyed both brothers on the same night.

            I was going to say this. Lennox brutalizes any version of Wlad.

              Lewis would have definitely had problems with Wlads style, but I would still pick Lewis to win that fight. Lewis had big problems with lesser fighters, so he'd have to be at his very best to beat Wlad.

                I agree, Wladimir would have had the best jab that Lewis ever faced.

                however, that right hand is inevitably going to land, and that would be a fight changer. I think Wladimir would get a fair share of jabs and straight rights in before he starts to lose it though.

                  It depends who he's fighting. If he was fighting Lewis his jab would be more for defense than offense, IMO.

                    Lewis also killed fighters better than Wlad.

                      Lewis had a better more powerful jab than Wlad.

                      Wlad's chin would have had problems with Lewis' wrecking ball right hand.
