    Vitali is the most exciting of the three and its not even close.

    All use their height and reach well, but only Vitali shoots to hurt against everyone, not just gimme fights.

    For me Vitali's most exciting fight is Vs Lewis, and after that there are a plethora of Lewis fights I'd rather watch than Vitali ones. Mainly down to the opposition.

    Lennox because he had greatness in him but could be KTFO at any given moment. Lots of good drama there.

    Yeah, Lewis never went to hurt anyone, hardly any early stoppages compared to the other 2 and as for the amount of gimmie fights he had......

    Lennox scored proper knock outs against decent fighters.
     
  12. Lewis had motivational issues.
    Which make him a h2h monster.. since in any h2h scenario he will be pitted against the peak version of a ATG HW.. So he will never ever be unfocused.


    He was robbed of Mccall though and the Rahman lost was fishy as hell due to the Don King influence +corruption during camp. It matters not, water under the bridge.. does of us on the inside know what really happened. No need to talk about it on a forum where people just don't know.
    He avenged both 'defeats' anyways.

    Lewis also defeated more big punchers than any heavyweight in history. He got hit so many times on his chin.. his chin is underrated. I won't say it's granite, but it's very underrated.


    He had so many exciting fights. it's unreal

    My favorite Lennox Lewis fights:

    Vitali

    Lewis is exciting because he is so vulnerable to a single shot with his chin.

    Wlad has a better chin, and can be appreciated as he boxes so perfectly.

    Vitali no doubt. He is the only one of the three who comes to beat up his opponent and not "just" win.
     
  15. Ok now name 3 good fighters Vitali knocked out in 2 rounds or less.

    I'll do Lewis first:
    Golota
    Grant
    Ruddock

    Now do Vitali.
