Wlad vs. Lennox prime for prime, who wins?

[Mr Objecitivity]

50/50 fight. The winner of this bout will be determined by who's corner Emmanuel Steward is going to be in IMO.

Lewis. It could be ugly with Wlad clinching so much but Lewis is strong enough to not get bullied and he'd land a right hand and follow through.

Let's not act like Lennox Lewis also wasn't an excessive clincher.

Wlad and Ruiz are in a league of their own when it comes to clinching.

Lewis but not easy as people make it out to be. Both were ugly fighters for the most part, pawing with their jabs, although Lewis could throw a more commanding jab at times, whereas Wlad can't. These guys both love to hold and jump back when the opponent throws.

It would be a messy, ugly fight but Lewis quality probably shines through in the end and gives him the edge. Maybe a late stoppage even.

We haven't had this one for a long time - brings back old memories.

That being said, I see it as 50:50. Wlad form 2012 with the mindset he had in AJ fight is a very difficult man to beat. Lennox from Golota fight is a beast.

Lennox, is, of course, the better boxer than AJ, but I am not sure he gets up from that KD (in the AJ fight). Lennox doesn't go down too often, but when he goes down he tends to stay down.

On the other hand, Wlad probably wouldn't have jab advantage he usually has, so I can see Lennox outboxing him.

True. It's why for the most part I didn't enjoy Lewis but Wladimir became unwatchable for me. Like Andre Ward almost.

[embryo]

I would pick Wlad anyday.

wish this was public so I could see the 7 that voted wlad.
