    Would you favor this version of Wlad over TKO6 Old Lennox?

    How would current old Wlad do against that old version of Lennox who struggled against Vitali?

    I think age 37 Wlad would beat the age 37 Lewis who fought Vitali.

    But the current age 39 version of Wlad would likely lose to the younger age 37 Lewis. I noticed on Saturday he's Klitschko has lost a bit of his speed, enough to make a difference against a good opponent.

      No I wouldn't favor Wlad based on what I see in him now.

        Even that Lewis would have destroyed any version of Wladimir.

        Lewis took it to the streets against his much tougher and better chinned brother. Turned it into a dog fight. Wladimir would crumble fast.

          No, Lennox Lewis was clearly passed his best but he survived Vitali's onslaught and landed some vicious uppercuts. Wlad would not be able to take them and I am a big fan of his.

              Lewis cracks that chin. Easy. Lewis is not some 6'2 guy with short arms being kept outside all night by a jab and tied up when he does get inside. Lewis would 1-2 Wlad like he did to Ruddock. It would be over fast.

                  The evidence seemed clear to me that Wladimir is beginning his downslide. I'm not even confident about him beating Fury or Wilder now, let alone 2003 Lennox Lewis.

                    Vitali was better than Wladimir but injuries and taking a "back seat" to Wlad's reign will make it look like the opposite to historians.

                    Lennox had a really difficult style for Wlad to deal with. Wlad would probably be stopped.

                    As for Vitali-Lewis yes I am still butt-hurt about THE CUT and wish that fight ended more decisively.
