We agree again:think:huh We also agree that a tall warm glass of baby GRAVEY is your favorite drink prior to nap time:rofl :smoke
Lennox One thing many here forget Wlad still doesnt have great conditioning, thats why he controls fighting pace and output by non stop clinching, against fighters like Lennox/Vitali he would not be able to do that because they are just as big and strong as him plus they(especially Lennox) would throw when inside, i can see Wlad ahead on scorecards but both Lennox and Vitali would stop him.
Steward said that Vlad had more natural talent than Lewis..................Vlad does not have a stamina problem, but Lewis sure did..............
Sure, just see the Brewster and Purity fights as examples. Its Lewis. Fought the better comp, beat the better fighters. Both are great, Lewis is greater.
Hahaha Frazier. Jack Johnson. Lennox isn't particularly all that much better of an inside fighter than the likes of Louis, Ezzard, Ali, Evander, etc, certainly not the GOAT-inside-fighting-HW.
You realize both Lewis and Bowe were *TALL* fighters and thus by definition inside fighting was never their main type of game, yes? They're not even close to being the 'best' inside fighters at HW.
Wlad is more athletic and has better punch technique and may be a little faster. His right hand is flawless from a technical standpoint, doesn't telegraph it at all or loop it like Lewis did slightly. But Lewis was the better, more complete fighter. Lewis had better lateral movement and a more authoritative jab. He was also quite effective on the inside against similar sized opponents, his uppercut was a big weapon, something seriously lacking in Wlad's arsenal. Lewis was also more fluid and less predictable in the ring. Lewis had better stamina and work rate as well, we've seen Wlad gas on a couple of occasions and he rarely fights at a decent pace. Wlad usually throws around 40 punches a round if taken the distance as he did against Povetkin, Haye and Peter. Lewis in one of his most passive performances against Holyfield threw 613 punches or 51 punches a round.
