Does Lennox Lewis Beat Both Klitschkos Within 12 Rounds?

[Cuban Linx]

Try Google.

Lewis had enough money in the bank to retire and live his life 10 times over. No point in fighting again if you aren't really up for it. His career won't be defined by the Vitali fight but Vitali's career is defined by losing to Lewis.

Completely disagree, Vitali played a huge part in his legacy... Mainly because of how dominant VK was after their fight.

Dwyer did a nice video on this a year ago, when he mentioned it in his Carl Froch video and he said it perfectly.

Start at 6:33

First of all, referencing Dwyer doesn't help your credibility.

Lennox Lewis' career will be defined by becoming the first undisputed HW Champions from Britain in a century, the fights with Holyfield, even the fight with Tyson. Vitali is a footnote at the end of an already illustrious career.

Oh and it's a myth that Vitali has been "dominant". He had a couple of fights after the Lewis loss and then retired for 4 years. Came back to win the WBC belt but his brother has been the dominant one.

Lennox would KO Wlad within 6 rounds

Wlad has no inside game and he wud never be able to keep Lewis at bay and all that grabbing wouldn't work

Lewis was masterful on both the inside and outside

It'd be over with an Uppercut

Totally agree with this statement, thats why I would pick Lewis against Wlad anytime. TO the tard saying Lewis didnt really beat Vitali you should rewatch the end of the 6th round where Vitali his holding and leaning on Lewis to survive the round, with his face demolished, and tell me again he didnt beat Vitali, Ive always hated how Vitali and his fans are talking like he was in perfect control but had a bad cut when it wasnt the case at all, he barely survived the last round and it wasnt because of the cut.


Technically speaking, I dont think Lewis could beat both under 12 rounds in one fight, since after he would be done with a guy the other guy would be fresh when he would have already fought 6 rounds...

Why does referencing Dwyer hurt your credibility? Dwyer takes time on all of his videos and has a lot of substance.

"Lennox Lewis' career will be defined by becoming the first undisputed HW Champions from Britain in a century"

LOL, that's something only you Brit's care about. Barely anyone over here in the states knows that fact, nor do they care. If anything, THAT is a footnote.

The Holyfield fight was a good one, but Holyfield was on his way down. His career didn't take a turn for the better after that fight. He went on to lose to John Ruiz, James toney and Chris Byrd.

The fight with Tyson was all hype, Tyson was a shell of himself.

It's not myth at all... He hasn't lost since the Lewis fight and that's a fact.

To the people saying Vitali was dominating the fight but havent even watched it, here is a link for you

, go watch the last 25 seconds of the 6th round, Lewis land an inside right hand to the rib followed by an inside right hand to the head, Vitali is buzzed and hold for his life, then manage to receive an inside uppercut before being saved by the bell. he goes back to his corner with his face demolished, but ohh well, people say Lewis didnt really beat Vitali... smh

And it was probably the worst version of lewis ive seen in a fight

He hasn't lost against who? A bunch of overmatched opponents or downright bums. His best win is probably Dereck Chisora. Hardly dominant.

Odlanier Solis is hardly a bum... As you Brit's would say he knocked David Haye "spark out" in the amateurs.

That fight ended too early, but he was not an over matched opponent or a bum.

well, lewis stopped vitali in six, so there's half of your answer. we usually abbreviate it "tko6."


corrie sanders, lamon brewster, and ross puritty. there's the other half of your answer.

You gotta scroll back up and read a little of the former posts, brother. You're a little out in left field. As we've all been saying.. the answers you give aren't really answers. McCall and Rahman are also answers... which when mixed together with Sanders, Brewster, and Purrity... bake to make a nice cake of "No one can say for sure what the hell happens should they meet"

And this SERIOUSLY needed to be split into two different threads. One for people who are beholden to neither fighter.

Another thread for people, like Dirk (with all due respect, brother) who for whatever reason, don't like either Wlad or Vitali. Because as far as I can tell, the common consensus is that Lewis is better than both but can't be guaranteed with 100% accuracy to beat either one. What is so hard to accept about that? Lewis was great! Yes! We all agree. Let's say it again. Lewis was GRRRRREAT! But to say that Wlad or Vitali would just get steamrolled is just dumb. Anything to the contrary needs to be met with 4 simple words, from now on:

"That is just dumb"

Start a similar thread about Tyson, Sanders, Purrity, McCall, Brewster, Mercer, Holyfield, Marciano, Jack Johnson, Paula Deen, Martin Short, Barak *****, CHARLIE ZELENOFF.... and you'll come to the same conclusion. Lewis, at his best, is better than them all. Would he beat them? Not necessarily, but he has a better chance of beating them than they do of beating him.

On a final not, if "s*** didn't happen", Lewis would have retired untested and undefeated. But s*** does happen, and even the best get caught.
