    Wlad doesn't let his hands go though.

    What happened when Lewis fought a big guy with power? I'm thinking Golota, I'm thinking Grant.

    None were as skilled as Wlad, but a similar outcome wouldn't surprise me. Wlad hasn't showed me anything ever that would prove he'd ever go for broke. And he would have to against Lewis.

      Wlad has got to be in control before he starts letting his hands go. He would never gain that control against someone as skilled as Lewis. His holding wouldn't work either. Lewis is as big and strong and throws punches in clinches. Lewis is all wrong for Wlad.

        Lewis wasn't faded in 2002 at age 36, he looked the same as he always had. Mike Tyson however although slightly younger was definitely past it, because he was clearly slower than he had been.
        Lol - it's only you who have an agenda! To make the Klitschko's seem much better than they are.

        It's impressive that Klitschko can fight at 38 - it really is. But that doesn't mean he's greater than Lennox because Lennox retired at 36 or 37 or whatever.

        Lennox had been one fight removed from a brutal knock-out by the time he fought Tyson, I doubt anyone in their right mind would say he was 'prime'

        Yes, Tyson was past it. Is anyone dis*****g that and why are we talking about age? It has no significance.

          Lewis in a pretty straight forward, boring chess match.

            Lewis would win.

            Wlad is very good, but not on Lewis's level. And I think Lewis would be a lot more respectful of his power and talent than he was against Rahman.
