Lewis is a known dodger. Who Wlad or Vitaly ever dodged? Wlad fought all up comers in theirs primes. And do not even start with Chisora or Rakhman.
Incredibly biased trash. What makes it more laughable, is that Stewart to this very day conceeds that Lewis was better than Wladimir.
Not me. HBO's measurements which I personally can't find reason to doubt. A great deal of Wlad's opponents clearly had longer arms despite being shorter. If you watch all three, notice how Wlad has to really bend the knees and lean to get his punches off, while Vitali and Lewis are actually standing upright at points landing with looping shots from the outside.
Yeah, its incredibly far fetched for a 6'8" man with unusually narrow high set shoulders to have long arms... :roflrofl "To adapt to his height and reach was a real challenge for me. "-Lewis. As others pointed out, Lewis had to press against Vitali and step into his punches to land because he was at a length disadvantage. Clearly, most of his 80 inch wingspan is pure arm. Absurdly narrow shoulders for a tall man. This content is protected
I agree with Manny...the biggest difference between the two is that Lewis was more likely to put his talents on display, whereas Wlad clearly holds back until he's pushed to show more. Despite that, Wlad still wins his fights in as dominant a fashion (or more) than Lennox did, and he's less likely to make lazy mistakes in a fight. I rank Lennox higher than Wlad now, but Wlad's closing the gap and in a fight between the two, I think Wlad rises to the occasion and wins a UD. There's more to his game than he routinely shows us, and facing a great fighter like Lennox would bring it out of him. I hope he's more willing to open up his game in the future again. If someone actually presses the fight against him, I think we'll see that.
35 pages. Wow. Talk about mountain out of a mole hill! Hasn't Ali said he'd beat both Klits, Tyson and Lewis in every interview he's ever given since he retired! Let's tell Ali to either get out of his wheelchair or stfu! Ex-fighters and ATG's get asked their opinion all the time and we're interested in hearing it! Calm down and get some perspective!
Who is there to dodge.... Valuev.... Ruiz.... this era is poor, i cant be bothered to pick apart either Klitscko's resume as it isnt worth my time and clearly wouldnt be too difficult to blast holes in either.
I actually agree on this. But you can only make predictions based on what you see and KNOW what he can do no "think".
Mr. Gained, I tip my hat. That was a wonderful presentation. I knew folks talked about how weak Lewis's era was....I just had not realized we are living in a stronger era...or at least as strong. There are two ways to take wind out of sails, one sails up wind and takes the wind with one's ship's own sails, or as in this case you hit the sails with a hurricain of facts and shred the sails. :good So how many 'good' fights did Ruiz and Byrd pick out of Lewis's pockets? Many thanks for explaining things. Vitilie is 'only' 6 foot 7... the size of a basketball guard, so lets not suddenly make him 6-8, or 6-9 ok.
Some idiots will say Lewis has duck Ruiz and Bryd in which is stupid. Lewis didn't fight Ruiz cause nobody wants to see it only ******s. Lewis decide to fight a prime undefeated Grant who was coming off an exciting win over Golata when Golata quit. Lewis choose Tyson over Bryd cause everybody wanted to see Lewis vs Tyson. Nobody wanted to see Lewis vs Bryd.
