Lennox was very good, but not the greatest. His size was what set him apart. Especially during the time he was coming up. No way does he get the top spot over Ali.

Lennox had much better inside game, better work to body and more versatile punches. Wlad is quicker, bigger puncher and has a slightly better foot work.
Lennox chin is slightly better. I think Wlad's chin is massively underrated - he never was KO cold - he was TKOed. He took some very good punches by Haye - not a lot of them..
There is a very nice comparison between the two by Emanuel.Last edited by Simurgh; 10-18-2012, 03:25 PM.

Yeah, I've read that article. Manny states that Wlad is more talented but Lennox is more proven due to beating the better guys. It's funny if he didn't lose to Sanders they were setting up a fight with Lennox. I think being that there would be no Height disadvantage for Lewis he could expose Wlad on the inside. Wlad has shown in the past that he can't cope with pressure well whereas Lennox deals with it much better (Briggs, Rahman II, Vitali etc).

At that time I have no doubt that Lennox would easily won as he was still pretty much in his prime and Wlad was very inexperienced and basically different fighter than he is now.
It is incredible how much Wlad improved over the years - all the respect to Emanuel!
