One thing I want to point out is this:
Both Lewis and Wlad have been bashed for having weak chins. Both only Lewis have video evidence of actually eating a lot of hard punches and taking it well. Lewis took some hard hard hits from Tua/Bruno/Vitali/Mercer/Briggs and ended up beating them all. Wladimir despite not having been knocked out in 9 years have also not taken the amount of punishment Lewis have had. Now this could be that Wlad have become better defensively than Lewis ever was, it could be that Wlad fought weaker opposition, it could be a variety of things but the bottom line is: Lewis have a PROVEN chin because he took a lot of hard shots from hard punchers. Wladimir doesn't.
Lewis probably took maybe 30 or so potential knock out punches. He was knocked out twice.
Wladimir took maybe 15 or so potential knock out punches and he was knocked out three times. Until Wlad starts taking huge right hands from Wilder, we can only assume his chin is glass and that it was kept safe due to his decade long tactics.Comment

Lewis by ko.Comment

vitali hurt lewis badly in the second round and isn't nearly as sharp or as hard a puncher as wlad. if mcall and rahman could starch him wlad could take his head off. its a pick em fight,, anyone saying otherwise is a lewis nuthugger or a moronOriginally posted by LEFTYGUNZZ View PostComment

Both are 2 of the best HW's ever able to completely dismantle and KO even the toughest opponents when at there best.
This has always been one of the ultimate fantasy match ups and basically 50/50.
These days, I am leaning more toward Wladimir. He is just a little sharper in every department and even more disciplined and responsible boxer than Lennox.
Anybody with a case for a Lewis victory I completely respect, so long as there's none of this rubbish like Wlad is a bum compared to Lewis.. Same goes vice verse for guys rubbishing Lewis.
Whoever won, both guys would have been the best opponents the other had ever faced by far (excluding perhaps Vitali which is another topic).Comment

What're you some sort of simpleton?Originally posted by Joeyzagz View Post
Wilder is not 1/5th the fighter Vitali was, GTFOH! The gulf in skills is oceanic in proportions.
Judging by what Wilder did to Stiverne, Bermane is LUCKY that Vitali did retire because Stiverne would have been mashed to a bloody pulp!Comment

Wlad is a poor man's bootleg version of LewisComment

Hasim Rahman can thoroughly outbox and canvas KO with a single shot, LEnnox Lewis, but not Wladimir Klitshko?Originally posted by Dirk Diggler UK View Post
Ray Mercer can fight Lewis to a virtual draw but Wlaidmir Klitschko can't outbox him?
Zelijko MAvrovic can survive 12 rounds with LEnnox Lewis, but not Wladimir Klitschko?
Right!

Its a pick em fight in the sense that both men can def ko each other, i just think lewis finds wlads chin first then its night night. I think its tentative at first, then its opens up and we know Lewis can hang ok in a fire fight, we have no proof that wlad canComment

yea,,,,its pretty amazing how many overrate lewis. he was great but far from unbeatable and he never faced a heavyweight his size as good a two fisted puncher as wlad. there's vitali but he hadn't near the snap and quickness of wlads punches. it would be a dangerous fight for both and anyone saying otherwise doesn't know boxingOriginally posted by Elroy1 View PostHasim Rahman can thoroughly outbox and canvas KO with a single shot, LEnnox Lewis, but not Wladimir Klitshko?
