    You're the biggest ****** on this forum.

    Wlad was dominating and cleaning out the division when Vitali was retired for 4 years.

    The heavyweight division is better than it's ever been. There are more countries participating than ever before.

    All of the disgustingly overrated American champs of the past should have asterisks next to their names because they were really only local champs, not world champs. They never competed against Eastern Europeans, Cubans, Africans, etc. in the pros. The Klitschkos have dominated and cleaned out a global heavyweight division. All of the best heavyweights from America, Britain, Eastern Europe, Cuba, Africa, etc. have been defeated by the Klitschkos. The Klitschkos are real world champs, unlike those ridiculously overrated overhyped American frauds of the past. Eastern European fighters are superior. The Klitschkos would dominate any era.

    2 is little bit optimistic, but there is no doubt Lennox would ko Haye before 8th, thing is Haye stamina is **** and Lennox would pressure him tired him out and knock him out.

    Lewis - Haye would probably look like Wlad - Haye.
    Though Wlad is faster and hits sharper, Lewis makes it up for his uppercuts.

    Maybe it's a little closer than the Wlad - Haye fight but it doesn't really matter when he got Steward in his corner.

    That's what i'm thinking. Lewis was a very cautious fighter. He would not walk on to David's power, too much chance of getting knocked out.

    :lol: There's nothing that Wlad does better than Lewis, it's only a 50/50 fight in the minds of Klitards. That jab-jab-grab clinching **** would not work on Lewis of all boxers, he'd ruin Wlad on the inside.

    Well maybe we should listen to the guy that trained them both? He was of the opinion that there is a fair amount that Wlad does better than Lewis.

    Wlad is faster on his feet, with quicker hands and a sharper puncher. Lewis is better on the inside (not difficult) and is more well rounded.

    so does that man a guy like Abner Mares helped clear out the Bantamweight division because he owned the IBF belt while Donaire took the WBC and WBO versions?

    they must be a team too since they never fought

    Wlad is only faster on his feet when compared to the lumbering behemoth Lewis became toward the end of his career, and Steward is just like any other trainer, bigging up his current protege (funny how he had no praise at all for Wlad when he was training Lewis). As for Wlad being the 'sharper' puncher, ask Tyson, Ruddock, Rahman and many other top-class HWs how unsharp Lewis' punches were. You seem to think that Lewis would have to fight Wlad's game, a battle of the jabs. Even if Wlad won that particular battle, Lewis would take Wlad to the trenches, and Wlad would have no reply.

    Let's be brutally honest here, Lewis would **** Haye's world up, he would absolutely destroy him. Anyone that says otherwise simply doesn't know **** or is trying to prop Wlad's resume up by making Haye out to be something he's not. I'm (sorta) a fan of Haye, and I think he beats an old Vitali, but a prime Lewis would be way too much for him.

    Lewis would KO Haye. I don't know about two rounds, but he would stop Haye.
