Wladimir Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

Lewis is more versatile, more durable, and more willing to press the attack.

 

Who is worse? A guy who dominated a bad division or a guy who struggled with past prime fighters and drug addicts? Hmmm...

Current Wlad (T)KO5 Lummox "The Vulture" Lewis

 

If Wlad is so dominant, and the division so poor why cant he finish ranked contenders in under 3 rounds the way past greats did? Ray Austin is the only early KO hes had in 10 freaking years.

Even Lazy Lewis knew how to get bums outta there:

Grant 2 rounds
Ruddock 2 rounds
Botha 2 rounds
Golota 1 round


^^^Wlad cant fcking do that! Lennox has a fckin Brontosaurus tail for a right arm, and would end it with a single uppercut.

 

For Real, This is what Lennox will do to Wlad:

I'm not a fan of either Wlad or Lewis but Lewis early KO's of Grant (inexperienced kid who was never any good) Golota (a mental patient who fouled himself out of a heavyweight championship) Botha (was 1 punch KO'd by the corpse of Mike Tyson) dont mean much.

Ruddock was one of Lewis good wins and he took him out early sure.

Wlad dosen't KO guys early because he is cautious and scared of charging in and getting smashed. Wlad can do basically the same things as Lewis though.

If you wanna get into the early KO debate,it should not have taken Lewis 8 rounds to KO the corpse of Tyson when it took Danny Williams only 2 .
Just sayin'...

 

Wlad vs Lewis might not end in a KO anyway. Most likely be a boring clinch fest in all fairness.

 

Bad match up stylistically, it probably would be a shitty clinch fest, but Lewis's natural boxing instinct would likely get him a knock out.

 

Yes, Lewis would do that if Wlad would stand at the ropes for half a minute without throwing a punch. When was the last time he did that? :think

 

When was he ever against a fighter the calibre of Lewis?

 

look up "Demolish" in the dictionary,...this clip is right beside it....Lewis would beat Wlad...WK is very good, but LL is better.

 

I love how people always bring up Lewis' fights vs Grant and Golota as blueprints for how Lewis would easily beat Wlad. Look I'd favor Lennox over Wlad. But not because Lewis knocked out Golota in a one-sided beatdown, that argument is just silly.

 

True, but the Golota fight shows what happens when Lewis let his hands go. He wipes the floor with Wlad at some point.

 

Golota had an injection in his knee for tenditis and side effects are being dizzy, also he had a nervous breakdown...

Not saying Lewis isn't the best, but the Golota fight means not that much.

 

It's odd how Vlad despite the inherent weaknesses he's displayed is these days seen as not having those weaknesses. He obviously hasn't fought the high calibre opponents recently, that bring those weaknesses to the fore. Different leagues, Vlad and Lewis :good

 

I believe in giving fighters the benefit of the doubt.

Lewis beats Wlad for stylistic and temperament reasons. When a weakness vanishes for 7 years, its more likely that it has been fixed or bandaged, and is no longer a big factor.

Fighters change. I've never met a single fighter who was the same guy he was more then a half a decade prior. Wlad's detractors would saddle him with that, and give Lewis a pass for getting coldcocked worse against McCall then Wlad was against Sanders.

Both had weaknesses, and both improved. Lewis didn't have a Brewster or a Purrity, but he had a Rahman, and Wlad has yet to lose the heavyweight title in a big, one punch knockout to a no hoper.

I think they are closer then people are giving it credit, Lewis' h2h edge or no.

Btw, yes, McCall and Sanders are on about the same level.
