lennox's resume is hardly better than wlad's

He "conceded" or he "used an excuse"??

 

Lewis' defining fights were against washed up greats who went on to lose to the shittiest of bums.

Vitali was washed up?

Holyfield was washed up?

Also the version of Tyson that Lewis beat was still MILES better than the Mormeck, Rahman,Thompson, and Austin that Wlad fought

 

He really isn't. He is certainly more of a natural fighter, much more than Wlad, but this does NOT make up for the technical advantages and physical attributes Wlad has over him. They are quite close, but Wlad has the edge.

 

What physical advantages?

They're basically the same weight and height.

Technically, Lewis had a greater range of punches.

 

Lewis does have a greater range of punches, but for big men who often enjoy a height advantage, the most important order of punches are jab, straight, left hook. Lewis is a good technical fighter, Wlad just does everything "cleaner". His straight is straighter, his jab is crisper, his hook is faster, and can be varied more.

Physically, Wlad has significantly quicker feet, slightly faster hands, I and many others believe more power, and seems to be able to maintain a high level of focus mentally longer than Lewis. Lewis often seemed to tire mentally during fights, which made him sloppy and left him open for big shots, or allowed him to be dragged into wars.

Again, Lewis, though he has a mediocre chin, is a more natural fighter. He doesn't mind getting messy, he doesn't mind taking a few shots as much as he should for his chins sake. Wlad, though he doesn't react as well, has learned to calm down after he does get shaken up, and is significantly harder to hit than Lewis was.

Considering all these things, I give a slight overall advantage to Wlad, but like I said, it's very close.

 

Good post. Some of Lennox's wins are overrated.

Although in fairness, he was young and pretty much untested when he fought Ruddock, and he blew him out spectacularly.

 

Wlad only has 3 DECENT punches....Jab, Right Hand, Left Hook. You need more if your facing another skilled big man such as Vitali, Lennox or Bowe.


Lennox has ..

1. Jab
2. Straight Right
3. Left Hook
4. Short Distance Right hook
5. OverHand Right
6. Uppercut from hell

Wlad cant fight at short distance and hed get mauled to death in the holds just like His brother and Michael Grant did.

 

Fixed that for you. The rest is laughable, honestly. Lewis wasn't always the plodding behemoth that he ended his career as. He was just as fast on his feet as Wlad when he was in his prime, but he's always been more willing to engage and get his opponent out early. As for Wlad having more power, Lewis was ktfo out of guys a level or two above the opposition Wlad takes 6-12 rounds to beat.

 

It's not a good post, it's awful, biased Klitard rubbish. According to Klitard logic there are no ATGs apart from the brothers because everyone else lost to fighters from previous eras and they were smaller, while conveniently overlooking the facts that Wlad himself has lost to B level fighters and a bona fide journeyman, and Vitali lost to a fat, old version of one of those ATGs they dismiss so easily. If Holyfield and Tyson were so ****, how come they lasted longer than Vitali did against Lewis?

 

That's a pretty good point.

 

Then DANNY williams is better then LL because right after the LL fight williams koed mike in only half the time it took LL ??? ect ect ect . In boxing that isn't even a point . :deal I hope this helps you . PS You also might want to check out who KOed SHANNON BRIGGS faster then LL also . lol

 

Tyson had ruptured one of his cruciate ligmaments in the Williams fight. It's hard enough to stand with that injury, let alone fight. If anything Tyson should get credit for carrying on when lesser fighters quit with shoulder injuries.

 

This is not what people thought of Lewis when he was active :deal

Amongst other things, he was called hesitant, phlegmatic, boring and "thinking too much" back in the 90s. Sound familiar?
