Watching Wlad in his last three fights I cant help but to be reminded of Lennox Lewis...just a little bit.

Does anyone else see Manny trying to mold the Ukranaian into the next Lewis?

Soft chin, big punch, great jab, very cautious...I thnk Manny has it all figured out.

Well, you can say that Manny just Loves training big, tall guys who fight tall, from Hearns to Lewis to Wlad. Manny just knows very well how to teach a big man fight big.

Hes lacking the strong uppercut Lennox has.

You can be sure Manny has him working on it.

Don't be disrespectful to Lennox, gentlemen.

I wouldn't call it disrespectful. Wlad is clearly just as talented as far as physical attributes go. But physical talent is not even half of what makes a great fighter. We'll see in ten years if Wlad will be as great as Lennox was.

He's trying to mold him to fight in a similar manner that's for sure. I think he's doing right by Wladimir...

Nobody said that Wladimir IS Lewis, the poster said he's trying to turn him INTO Lewis. How is that disrespectful?

Steward oughta teach Wladimir how to throw an uppercut.

The comparisons are strangely similar...
Both fighters are tall , awsome jabs , overhand right hand power , decent mobilty and footwork , large boxing heavyweights and very suspect chins.
