Better Chin - Wlad Vs Lewis

Wlad has the decency to challenge top-ranked fighters in their primes: Chambers, Chagaev, Haye, Byrd, Peter, Ibragimov, Povetkin (who declined the offer).

 

This guy knows very little about boxing.

Anyway, the fact thatr this question would even be asked is a farce. Wlad has been down something like 12 odd times in his career? Lewis was down twice against much, much better opposotion. He actually took hard shots from the likes of Mercer, Briggs and Tua without going down. He had a reasonable chin, much better than Wladimir's.

 

Lewis took some bombs from Briggs with out going down. Any hard punching world class heavyweight can score a knock out over anybody if they land a punch their opponent doesn't see coming.

I'd say Lewis had the better chin though because as you can see in the Briggs fight he can weather a storm a bit better where as Wladimir was caught with a good punch by Saunders in the first and seemed like he had a semi-concusion for the rest of the fight. Same thing in the first Peter fight as well really because he looked vunerable after the first knock down for the rest of the fight. Wasn't Wladimir floored by DaVaryl Williamson as well. Anyway neither has could have achieved what they have with a bad chin but I would say Lewis' was a bit better. Saunders and Brewster may have sparked Lewis on an off night but no body else Wladimr has fought could imo. There are a few on Lewis' record that I think would have a decent chance at KO'ing Wladimir.

 

When it became obvious Lennox wanted no part of the Klitschkos, he decided to take a chance with one of them - and he picked the less talented brother, of course. History has proved Lennox is a wise man: all the top contenders have been fed to Wlad, whereas all the fat bums go to Vitali.

Vitali is possibly the only man Lennox beat in his prime, and he was lucky.

 

YEAH ALL TOPS AND BEASTS SURE :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Lewis did not have an iron chin, total bull**** to suggest that considering he was blown out by single shots in two fights.

 

Vitali is a much better fighter than wlad,

 

You are a real class act being able to condradict yourself like that in the space of just a few words...well done :thumbsup

 

Oh look, it's Beatle discrediting Lewis in another thread again. What a surprise.

 

Wlad had already lost to Corrie Sanders [a fat bum] (who was subsequently demolished by Vitali the next year) a few months before Lennox beat his brother.

Why you think that Wlad, at that stage of his career, pre-steward, would have given Lennox trouble I don't know but it's hilarious all the same.

Enough of that revisionist history buddy.

 

Big fan of both fighters also.

Lennox has the better cheen.

 

lewis was better than wladimir in every department.

 

Agree and not only from Tua and Vitali what is with

Better opposition? Really? You're saying Lennox fought better fighters than Wlad?

Wlad fought Chris Byrd, whom Lennox shamelessly ducked. Add to that Chagaev, Chambers, Ibragimov, Sanders, Brewster, Peter - all prime top contenders.

Lennox fought Vitali, Rahman, McCall, Briggs and Morrison in their primes. He lost to two of them.

Lennox's other "big" wins were to men who were either old, fat or on drugs. In the case of Tony Tucker, it was all three.

Notice how Lennox wanted no part of David Tua after Tua's impressive KO of Rahman in 1998. Two years later, when Tua was an incredible 20 pounds heavier, Lennox finally gave him a shot at the title.

Can you fools not see that this man was a cherrypicker, like Joe Calzaghe and Floyd Mayweather?
