Phil Jackson : "Wladimir Klitschko hits harder than Lennow Lewis"

[CatchAndShoot]

There's no way you can convince me that Wlad hits harder than a prime Lewis. Lennox Lewis had Shannon Briggs head snapping back like a bobble head doll. One of my favorite HW fights.

See, this statement of yours exposes you as a complete fool who doesn't know what they are looking at.

Neither would ever have an easy night against the other. There's plenty to assume WK might win instead which you choose to ignore and predict a blow out based on nothing.

Ditto. On paper it's a pick-em fight. Both guys got caught with haymakers by lesser fighters and it's certainly plausible that with both their attributes, they both can catch each other. There is no 100% certainty in this fight and anyone who disagrees is an idiot.

I don't really think that Lennox's career is more accomplished. At this point, Wlad's quantity >> Lennox quality of opposition. And it's not like his quality is the stuff of legends either.

He retired rather early and he only had 41 career wins. Hardly something to latch onto.

Retired when he still had the goods to fight on aswell, I don't think he'd of quit as soon If it wasn't for the Vitali Klitschko fight...
If he fought Kirk Johnson instead like he was meant to he'd of likely stuck about for a few more years.

why is the knicks president of basketball operations talking about boxing?

Wlad has no inside game, he would blasted out with an uppercut from Lewis.

Maybe, maybe not. Since critics like to point out Wlad's wrestling, who's to say that he wouldn't eliminate that upper-cut question by holding Lennox at the right time, the right way.

There is nothing to learn from the Vitali fight as I doubt that the current version of Wlad would fight like that. There would be more discipline and execution of game plan. This fight would probably end up being a chess match with both earning each others respect and not overdoing it. If Lennox was some come-forward, iron chinned warrior type, then that would be a different story.

Lol. This statement is so ridiculous it could only come from a flaming member of the kliterati.

I think WK is on roids. Looking at the country in which he resides, it wouldn't be hard to juice and not get caught, or be suspected. But yet it's okay to accuse Manny of juicing when his performance, power, or skill never enhanced. Hmmmm.....

While I'm not going to defend Wlad for possibly being on Roids (it's always possible), it's worth considering that Manny is a 5'5 manlet from a third world country with inferior genes who had a growth limit (some of it having to do with not getting proper nutrition in a third world country) while Wlad has been gifted with a top 2% of males, Alpha body. So it's much more natural to assume that wlad can grow into a beast of a man, while all Manny can hope for being is a Bruce Lee, quick and lean type.

If it was Wlad in there with Lewis he would have been balled up on the canvas

An idiot would say Wlad's career is more accomplished than Lennox's.

Any version of Lewis would destroy any version of Wlad. He's a poor mans excuse for a Lewis. Simple as that.

Depends who lands first if class C fighters like Rahman and Oliver Mccall knock out Lewis than I'm sure Wladimar could knock him out as well
