Lennox Lewis: "Wladimir is going to be the King"

[OptimusWolf]

I think Wlad was the guy who could out - point Lennox, even Emanuel Steward admits that all the time he was training Lennox he thought that Wlad Klit was the most talented heavyweight in the world, and all the time he was training Vitali his true thoughts were that Wlad was the much more talented of the two

Possibly, but would he last for 12 rounds against someone with the attacking skills of Lewis? Or have the stamina to win rounds past the first 4-5.

I'd back Lewis over mini-Klit, but thats no disgrace, cos I have Lewis as a top ten all time HW in head to heads

Wlad is proabably numero uno out there right now. Lewis was better imo. Maybe we get to see the best of Wlad now under Emanuel Steward and with the added experience he's got now himself.

but,,,your forgetting the mental aspect. Im a big fan of wlad,,,,,but lewis was as calm as a cat under pressure and was mentally tough whereas wlad panicks when pressed and it just makes his chin look all the more worst

leiws was the better all around fighter(offense,defense,movement,staying calm, stamina), while wlad is the more complete offensive fighter... where lewis had a jab that he sometimes pawed with, a right cross and right uppercut... wlad has a jab with more snap, right cross and left hook.. wlad also puts his punches together(combinations) better than lewis...

wow,,,,you know your boxing. I totally agree

[OptimusWolf]

I also agree, good post guru.

[realheavyhands]

...That's pretty much what he said on HBO. It's good to hear it for a Wlad fan but I'm not that surprised.

lewis also has said his not sure if wladamir has the chin or heart and being in there with chris byrd proves nothing becuase in the heavyweight division you face punchers and wlad doesnt fair well against punchers

wladis converted his right hand doesnt have half the power of lewis his strong hand is his left

[beez721]

lol,,,,lewis does hit a bit harder with the right but to say wlad doesnt have power with his right is laughable. hes not a coverted southpaw,,,have you even seen his fights?
