    That's like if I show you a gif of Wlad throwing an uppercut. Does he do it? Sure, once a decade. Is it typical for him? No.

    Lennox, especially in his early years, was a very cautious fighter. He never ran after fighters unless he was sure they were in trouble already. The 22 year old Lewis lacked the cockiness and confidence a 35 year old Lewis had and he would would never have run throwing big hands after a scared Wlad in an amateur bout.

    lewis was my fav boxer of all time,but ive no idea where the **** people are getting the idea he just walked through everyone he fought lol..lewis vs wlad would be a great fight..wlad and lewis fight very similar..but wlad is faster than lewis ever was and there is prob more power there.lewis had more in his arsenal and i think this fight would make for an intresting battle of wits..

    Wlad was a 20 y/o in 96, not 23 like Lewis in 88, who had already been to one Olympics.

    Now, Lewis is becoming the mythical destroyer like Tyson on ESB lol. Every casual boxing fan who called him a ***** 15 years ago now says that he would take everyone out in 1 round.
    His knockout losses to bums are forgotten and he is invincible now lol

    Wlad learned much from Emanuel Steward. Unfortunaly he did not work from the beginning of his prof. career with Steward.

    :deal

    This fight would hardly be competitive, Lennox wouldn't respect him, he'd back Wlad up and take him out. Any version of Wlad. Considering W.Klitschko's defence also involves backing up in straight lines to stay out of his opponents range, Lennox will get to him no doubt.

    The only question about Lewis v Wlad is, will Lennox knock him out with the left hook overhand right? Or with the uppercut?
