    Well yes that is kind of true, but Lennox probably wouldnt give him the chance to do so.

    I never understood people that said "Lewis had a better arsenal".

    Wlad throws every punch in the book.

    He may not use all of them.

    Wlad's most used punches:

    Jab; straight right; left hook

    Wlad has thrown uppercuts (to the head and body) as of late.

    They're both similar as they both have heads.

    If you are usually the bigger guy you employ the same tactics, that's all.

    Manny says that he teaches Wlad to fight like Lewis. But the difference between the two. Is that Lewis did everything. Whereas Wlad is too scared too.

    Lewis is a natural fighter. Wlad isn't/

    Lewis Chin > Wlads, by far

    Not only his actual taking of punches, but his reaction to them, Lewis was sparked out twice, by lucky punches, but he was never afraid to get into a slug-fest, he didnt panick when hit, he just kept coming

    It's been said many a time but the Vitali - Lewis match was a good example of the gap between Wlad and Lewis, the undoubtable tougher, more resillient and aggresive brother, took shots that would have undoubtably dropped Wlad a few times over.

    Lennox had a good chin.

    Wlad HAS a large catalogue of punches, but his routine consists of Jabs, straights, and left hooks, in that order of frequency.

    Don't necessarily agree with this.

    Getting laid out by Rahman and not being able to continue against McCall prove otherwise for me.

    Wlad gets hit and goes done, but always gets back up. You could say that is heart, but he didn't look as dazed as Lennox when he went down.

    Don't be foolish

    Lennox has been down twice to bombs

    Wlad went down 3 times alone in the Peter fight. The shots that put Lennox down, as cliche as it is, would have put down most.

    He took shots from some of the hardest hitters in a hard hitting HW division and not only stayed vertical, but kept fighting.

    Wlad is the poor man's version of Lewis.
    Lewis was more fluid, had a bounce in his step. He had a wider arsenal of punches.Lewis had defensive moves besides clinching. Lewis could fight from angles, he could punch on the move. Lewis could throw combinations. Lewis knew how to counter punch. Lewis fought with a higher energy style, had better stamina. Lewis proved he knew how to fight people bigger than himself. Lewis could brawl when he needed to.

    Lewis got back up against McCall. The ref stopped the fight...... which is why Lewis chose not to fight in England because English refs stop the fight waay too early.

    As for Rahman. If Wlad got hit with that shot, he wouldn't get up.

    This.

    Lewis also didn't look as robotic and straight up as Wlad, and was certainly the more natural fighter.

    If he wouldn't have stumbled into the ref the fight would have went on i'm assuming.

    Maybe.

    Wlad has been hit by some big shots too where he didn't go down including: Brewster, Peter, Sanders.
