Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Wladimir, Vitali - The Only A-Class Heavies

[americanbot]

Lewis won both Holyfield fights comfortably.

i suggest you to actually watch the 2nd fight..............holyfield won that fight on my card...........i couldn't believe it. but he won by 2 rounds & was jobbed by the judges. lewis did win the 1st fight comfortably though.

Going by how he kept the much shorter Tua at arms length and hardly engaged him, I doubt he'd walk through Haye.

If you think that that was bad you should look at his fight with Mavrovic. About the worst peformance in boxing that year.

I thought Lewis won the first holyfield fight clearly and the 2nd fight should have been a draw so it doesn't really matter.

Yea lewis knows all too well that they are A-class lewis was on his way to a defeat until vitali got a nasty cut "when I beat vitali" WOW you just won man even promised him a rematch but then you punked out and retired you don't see to many fighters retire in their prime lewis ain't nothin but a big david haye he knew he didn't have a chance against either brother that's why he bailed

Lewis knows whats up. Lewis, Klitschko, Klitschko are a breed of heavyweights who could have basically beat any other heavyweight in history. It's all about the big men now.

Lewis is right that Vitali and Wladimir are A-Class Heavyweight Fighters

The Klistchko's are so underrated. ANY past champ would have had trouble with them today.

Honestly I think the Klitschkos and Lewis would have beat guys like Ali Frazier and Foreman. And that the 70's era was overrated because it was the peak of boxing popularity. I just think they would have been too big and those guys wouldnt be able to deal with them as good as some think.

Thats why I've always said. If you make a top 10 heavyweight list of all time based on accomplishments then Joe Louis is no doubt the greatest. And the greatest of his era do doubt. But honestly I dont think Louis would have been good in todays heavyweights because he was so darn small and other heavyweights were 180-190 ish. If you make a list on best heavyweights based on who could really beat eachother then I think it would be the klitschkos and lennox lewis on top.

he is right, more or less. I am convinced that david price will, in a few years time, dominate the HW division. I'm not so sure about joshua though.

with regard to the Vitali fight: it's a shame that Vitali was cut - not because I am convinced that Vitali would have won without the cut, but because I would have loved the fight to last for a few more rounds, because it was high-class action.

it's very difficult to say who would have won, had the cut never happened. lennox was lucky that night - maybe he still would have won, but he would have had to pay a higher physcial price for it.

Not the way styles work. Some would have had problems some would not have.
