    I always thought Lewis was one of the best offensive heavyweights, he did not possess late power (never stopped anyone past the 8th) and he preferred fighters who came to him and not movers. My thoughts were that his power would be to much for Vlad but I think that Vlad has really improved defensively and I could see a different fight now. I could see after an early rush by Lennox, the jab, and movement of Vlad making Lennox fall into a pattern and get caught by a Vlad right hand sometime after the 8th...Lennox was a rougher character in the ring than Vlad but Vlad is a cleaner defensive fighter and has developed good foot movement hand speed and excellent one shot power .....I now can see Vlad fight a cautious defensive battle and Lennox falling into the Klitschko pattern and getting KO'd This is my opinion and I know anything can happen in this fight but curious to the thoughts of the classic on this

    I would be curious to see Manny Stewart's real take on the outcome

    Lennox stops him early, it look surprsingly similar to the Grant fight. It's just a bad style matchup for Wlad imo... who is a great champion. I don't think he has the durability to survive Lewis early, and Lennox has the size, strength and length to get to him consistently and take him out of his gameplan.

    Wlad isn't really use to anyone coming at him and actually getting inside. They usually try but when the feel the power of the jab and the right they generally just go into survival mode. Lewis would be different cause he would be able to get inside and that would be Wlad's downfall. Lewis would likely win in within the first 6 rounds.

    Lewis would force a street fight, and he would win it.

    Could be a cure for insomnia.

    Two of the most boring fighters I've ever watched. That's not an attempt to downgrade their talents.

    Very tactical fight I reckon with Wlad being very hard to hit. Lewis has more going for him so I'd expect him to win by decision.

    Watched them live on TV. Lennox was never an exciting fighter to watch.

    That said he was a great fighter. He was just boring especially when he bulked up to 240lbs plus and moved a lot less.
