Wladimir: Pros Excellent jab, great footwork, great balance, defensive-minded Cons: questionable conditoning against good fighters that preasure him, not that wide of a punch arsenal or atleast doesn't throw with much variety, Chin isn't the greatest ever Lewis Pros: Ecellent jab, Wide punch arsenal ( uses hooks and uppercuts more then Wladimir especially on the inside) Great footwork, Great chin ( [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIRShCBKwng[/ame] ) Cons: Ego wich leads to questionable conditioning and so on The matchup: Lewis keys to victory: Use the jab at range and try to land right hands, in close use uppercuts and hooks to dominate on the inside Wladimir keys to victory: Dominate behind the jab and wear down his opponent, Though try to not wait until the 3rd round for throwing a straight right or a left hook. The fight: The first few rounds would be cautiously played by both fighters. However when it comes to clinches and let's not pretend they won't happen after all it's dr octopus that are in the ring. Lewis would have a clear advantage due to superiour inside work via uppercuts and hooks. The only way wladimir can win is he do what he always do and that's dominate behind the jab and unleash hes punch arsenal abit earlier. That however leaves his chin exposed more and will probaly don't work. I think on the outside game it's really hard to get to Wladimir beacuse of his great footowork and jab. But on the inside he is much more vulnerable and even more when facing an opponent who he hasn't an clear weight, height or reach advantage against. Lewis via KO in rounds 3 to 7.
Wlad. Much faster in hand and foot speed. More power. Equal chins. Less punch variety, but honestly doesn't need a great uppercut.
50/50 fight, literally . . . Lewis was more natural, with better "boxing instincts", but Wladimir is the better athlete with superior hand, and ESPECIALLY foot speed. Power wise, they are about the same. 55/45 Lewis PPV split, and Wlad whips his ass!
I agree with your look on the fight, Wlad really has no inside game other than holding and putting his weight on the opponent, this wouldn't be that effective with Lewis as there's nothing really between them in size or reach. Lewis is the more skilled of the two and would beat him on the inside, simple as that.
