    Tyson fury fought twice in 2 weeks- so did Eubank jr

    However you cannot fight championship level fights that often

    come on. tyson or ali when they were at they highest werent fighting every 2 weeks.

    also what it comes down to is not how many fights you have but how good you are and sure alis or tysons skills were better than lewis or klits, but only skills wont win a boxing fight, its also size and lew n klits just have so much size advantage on any other boxers ever.

    come on ? Did you miss read my post or something ?

    Klits / Lewis had size and skill advantage over the very average fighters that beat and knocked them out also.:good

    Lennox had a fight that can be scored either way versus mercer.
    Lewis also went tooth and nail with a over the hell former cruiserweight champion in holyfield.

    Vitali quit against the small Byrd.

    Wlad has been wrecked many times versus guys that would not even be solid contenders in the golden eras.

    These are facts.

    Lennox Lewis refused to ever fight a southpaw not only while champion- also as a novice pro.

    He even surrendered his IBF belt rather than do it !

    That's a very very unusual statistic.

    Maybe he was not as versitile as you were lead to believe.

    Bringing up the Doug Jones fight to judge Ali is ****ing stupid. Have you seen the sort of dross most modern heavyweights are fighting two years into their pro careers? The only modern guy who could legit hold that struggle over Ali is Tyson, who peaked real, real young.

    At the point Ali struggled with Jones, Wlad was getting knocked out by Purrity.

    But completely different styles, so it doesn't matter. Ali won anyways.

    Agreed. I'll post this but the fools who disagree with you won't read it as they're delusional. They'll acccuse anyone who disagrees with them as somehow "Old School" nostalgists, despite the fact we're training and fighting right here in 2013! I'll post it anyway...

    It's funny, I've always thought Vitali was the most dangerous and talented fighter of the three. Lewis and Wlad benefitted from the Steward system.

    Yup super heavyweights exists in boxing.

    Lewis would beat the **** out of every heavyweight of all time.

    Vitlay/Wlad would beat any heavyweight of all time as well.

    Is Vitali the one who quit against Chris Byrd?

    vitaly lost to byrd. first byrd is no an average boxer. second, vitaly shoulder was hurt and in a rematch byrd would have had no chance. wlad lost to sander, purity and brewster. against all 3 wlad still was a bit green, vs a heavy hitter like sander or brewster, anybody can get caught, they have solid power. the wlad of rescent years gets rarely touched and his ring IQ improved a lot, you cant compare him with the wlad from 7 years ago or longer.

    lewis lost to mccall and made him cry in the rematch. lewis came totaly untrained in with rahman and totaly dominated him up to the ko in the rematch.

    what I am saying is when lewis was in his prime form (briggs bout) and his mind set is ready than I say he beats anybody ever in boxing.

    when vitaly or wlad are in prime form, they are the second and third boxer to beat anybody. because of size, strength, reach.


    you know what is also a fact in boxing? anybody lost from roy jones jr. to sugar ray robinson, so losing is nothing exceptional in boxing.

    While their size and athleticism are all first rate, I don't agree that the Klitschkos or Lewis have the boxing arsenal to compare to a guy like Ali. Wladimir has/had the fleetness of foot, Lewis the ability to adjust and Vitali the toughness - but you have to add them all together to get Ali.

    How could they have dominated EVERYBODY, when we've seen who someone like Wlad has already lost to in his mid 20's?

    Size in boxing isn't always an advantage.

    Wlad is strong and powerful, but he's also methodical with slow footwork. How would he have coped with Ali's footwork and incredible hand speed?

    He struggled with Haye's movement, yet he would have dominated Ali and Tyson?

    He's been knocked out by Sanders, Puritty, Brewster, and nearly by Peter, yet he'd have dominated Tyson and Foreman etc?

    Good troll bro.

    Lewis was an insane operator. You haven't watched much of Lewis box.

    Ali would never beat Lewis on Lewis's best day.

    Take THAT to the bank. NEVER.
