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.Comment

I think that Wlad is more talented of two (doesn't mean he would beat Lennox or he's a better boxer) - but Wlad's problem is he didn't really have a real challenge in his prime - all the fights after peter's fight were very convincing and one-sided.
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.Comment

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).Comment

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!Comment

It's just as well for Klit fans that there's no HD footage of Vitali's face.
Typical dumb sexual Klitlickery from this fool.Comment
