Another thing, it's not very fair to make this poll now, at least for the accomplishments and legacy department, as both Klitschkos haven't retired yet. But seeing things as they are, with Vitali to retire soon and Wlad facing a series of stiffs and hasbeens, I believe Lewis will still be clearly on top after the Klitschkos have finished their careers.
People who actually rate Vitali in front of Lewis needs to get their brain examined. Vitali won 2-3 rounds in his prime against a 37 year old Lennox, still he got a brutal ass whooping
I am a big fan of the Klitschkos but I think that overall Lewis has accomplished more. However, if Wladimir keeps winning this could change by the time he retires.
More or less RUSKULL got the best 'answer/reply' of this thread. Let's leave the racist fanboys out from both sides. We get it. You guys hate Lewis because he's black and you guys hate Wladimir because he's Eastern European. But if you look at it from an objective point of view.. It is unrealistic to leave Lewis out of the top 5 and Wladimir out of the top 10 (still surging). Can Wladimir surpass Lewis when Wlad is done? Sure he can.Will he? This one poster Squire (who's a big Klitschko fan himself) expressed concerns regarding Wlad saying that as he gets older and older his reflexes will diminish more and more.. which is a massive factor to fighters with suspect chins. And for the last time.. Wlad's chin did not get better, his defense did. With the diminished reflexes, his defenses will slip. leaving his chin once again exposed. I think Wlad should get 2-3 more big wins and call it a day to a great career. TKO6 is a joke. Lewis beat Vitali. The end. All the theories of what if Vitali hadn't got 'cut' is insulting to human intelligence. This is boxing, Vitali got cut because he got punched in the face due to his lack of defense(something he was supposedly good at) Lewis was out of shape and he was close to 38. He blocked Vitali's punches with his face. Lennox Lewis was Arturo Gatti for that fight in terms of skill levels and he still looked the stronger fighter in the 6th. H2H. Lewis (top 2) Wladimir(top 4) Vitali. (Top 5) Resume Lewis (top 5) Wladimir #9 Vitali top 25 As to Lewis vs Wladimir.. Lewis will win on the inside. Simple as that. A breakdown isn't really even needed. A 6'5 244 fighter of elite talent with good inside fighting skills against a 6'6 245 fighter of elite talent with almost zero inside fighting abilities... Lewis will simply muscle his way in and switch off the legs through an upper cut. Now if they fought 10 times.. Wladimir will obviously have adjusted and win a fair amount of the 10 fights..
