Now, on topic:
Lewis gets the nod but the comparison is not absurd. Wlad was THE MAN for a longer period of time, obviously in a weaker period but it still stands for something. Both had to come back from KO losses too.
Lewis manages those two fights against Holyfield which is the line that divides them.Comment

Funny how Spastic Wlad's "prime" magically coincides with the worst era in the history of the Heavyweight division.Comment

Lewis easily, Wlad just wasn't very good.
It's a fact that Wlad is a level below Fury and AJ, his brother Vitali a level below an obese Lewis. Their combined record vs A level comp. is 0-3.
Wlad's 00's division was horrific, it didn't produce a SINGLE A level fighter the entire time. Haye was his biggest threat even though he went life and death with Valuev.
Wlad would've been gatekeeper status in this current division. The champions, contenders and even journeymen are much better than the ones Wlad fought and lost to.Comment

Not a lot of American super hype jobs around. So it must have been an overrated time for boxing.
Wlad would have jabbed tyson and holyfield to death, different class men in terms of size.
No Americans=weak time for boxing.
It's funny, is wilder in the most overrated time in boxing history? For what ever reason he cannot seem to have a fight with an above c+ fighter.Comment

Holyfield??? At age 39??? Tyson??? the same one who got KO'ed by Williams and McBride a year later??? or the same Holyfield who got beat by Ruiz right after??? Wlad's resume at heavyweight can only be beat by Ali,

YUp 40 year old wlad dropped joshua alomst stopped him. Fury and aj clearly beat an older wlad.
It's amazing how underrated wlads boxing ability was.
Povetkin is a better win than anyone wilder has been near....Comment
