    I could not disagree more.

    Both Lennox and Bowe could not keep these smaller guys away from them. How and earth they would survive as smaller men.

    Especially Bowe.

    :huh Lennox-Tua is a good example of him doing just that.

    Bowe had an excellent jab but was also great on the inside, his uppercuts were brutal.

    Both Bowe & Lewis didnt rely on jab-jab-grab, they beat better opponents in better fashion.

    They werent just better HWs, they were superior boxers.

    this, it's super annoying watching someone toy with the other guy for 10 rounds and do nothing but jab when they can take them out with ease earlier. they are not warriors even in the slightest.

    So you consider East Asians to be an inferior race? That's really stupid.

    And no, I'm not Dave.

    I'm Joe MacKenzie of the clan MacKenzie and I'm a Canadian of Scottish heritage.

    I think Bowe was epitome of Bigger guy bullying smaller guys. he was versatile for such a big guy but he seems like he could not utilised them when fought guy at his size like Golota, granted being faded at that stage.

    What comes to Lewis I think Wlad is the superior boxer of the two in every aspect but inside fighting. And looks like Wlad has managed to Hold on his own guys at his size by grabbing on them inside. Lennox did not rely on his jab and straight punches because he couldnt, He wasnt nearly as good fighting in distance than Wlad and I dont think Lennox inside game would save him either.

    And Lennox sure did not beat those better boxers you are saying in better fashion. like who?:huh

    Both in Bowe and Lennox had maybe more "Fight" in them than Wlad but Wlad has the better boxing ability than neither of those two.

    Jab jab and grab... yeah Right.:roll:

    Edit. Sure Emmanuel Stewart is biased because he trains Wlad atm but he said it best about Wlad&Lennox. Wlad is more talented but Lennox more accomplished. which I could not agree more. Even how hard I try to think about it i can not find from Lennox what he does better than Wlad but Inside fighting which Wlad does not do at all..

    I even agree Wlad is often BORING boxer because he has a tremendous Gift at Jab, Tremendous gift of having able to beat Guys basically using one hand, beating them from a pillar to a post with a jab. which in some fights is almost only punch he does. it is not like he isnt able to throw punches with some variety but he just can make it so easy and safe and boring.

    Wlad isnt more talented nor is he a "better" boxer imo. If fighting in a cautious & negative style whilst holding every advantage appeals to you then fair play.

    As for Wlad being superior to Lewis in every way other than inside fighting, I cant disagree more. Other than conditioning I cant think of anything better for Wlad compared to Lewis, Vitali has a better chin but is slower & less athletic.

    Bowe & Lewis have better wins & performances than either brother & both have been undisputed champ in a far better era than today's.

    I wouldnt give too much credence to Steward's comments because he says great things about nearly everyone he works with, especially his current employers.

    Because of their failure to excite and take any risks, they are too boring, some would say tactical etc etc but I could think of a million and one other things to do then watch a Klit fight! There cant be many here, who actually enjoy watching a fight where 50 jabs are thrown, then tie up the opposition when they attempt to make a fight, then throw another 50 jabs, then 3 right hands...end of fight!! Thank god Mormeck Klit has been cancelled.

    "European style" code word for boring. Vitali to his credit is more enjoyable of a fighter to watch due to his activity, although his style is ugly. They're different, Wlad is a painfully bad experience. It's a shame because he's deluded into thinking that he fights the way he does is the best and safest way of fighting. The majority of his opposition is such little of a threat that he could blow them away much earlier, instead of being a cat playing with a mouse dangled on a string. Keeping the beaten fighter in a match does no one any good.
