    I said I thought Lennox won and he landed a lot of jabs but he didn't hurt or drop Evander that I recall. I admit though that I haven't watched the fight in over 15 years so the fights I have watched may have pushed out perfect recollection of the eb and flow of that fight. My point being, Lennox has good wins but his best wins were against aged former greats.I have no doubt that Wlad would have knocked out either of those guys at that time. That's like giving Wlad full credit for obliterating Mercer when we know he doesn't deserve it.

      You obviously haven't watched Lewis-Holyfield 1. That's clear. Which makes it ******ed you're trying to even discuss it.
      And I like how punch stats mean nothing when it could indicate a fights decision when you realize that it rebuts the Ward win over Kovalev 😉

        Wlad couldn't even knock out David Haye. But he's going to knock out Holyfield? C'mon man read the bollocks you're writing.

          I have long said punch stats mean nothing. Made threads that prove Compubox does get it completely wrong.


          TRY AGAIN.

            Pretty close in most aspects (losses, opposition, era) but Wlad's far longer/more consistent reign edges it out.

            Lennox will win any poll because the world still suffers from Mike Tyson syndrome. In fact Danny Williams & Kevin McBride have a good chance of beating Wlad in a forum poll.

              Robbie, I'm starting to think you were the guy that I told that you weren't nearly as smart as you think you are. Was that you? Lol This convo seems familiar.

              I'll sum this up. Like I did waaaaaay back in my first post in this thread. I believe Lennox would beat Wlad h2h if both were at their best. But.....Wlad has a better legacy and achieved more that Lennox did. Therefore he has the better career and will be ranked higher all time. There's a guy on Yout@be named Rummy that actually did an analysis of all heavyweight champions over the last hundred years and by his formula, ranked Wlad 3rd all time behind Louis and Ali. Any way you slice it, Wlad will be ranked higher and all the Wlad (EU) haters can't do a thing about it.

                  Wlad will be ranked higher by who? I guarantee most boxing experts will have Lewis ahead of Wlad. Legacy is who you beat and Lewis's resume shits all over Wlad's. All the number spinning by Klitschko fans isn't going to change that.
