    Like he plowed through McCall? Or elderly war horse Tony Tucker? Or the way he just ripped right through a past prime, blown up cruiserweight Holyfield? Or the way he easily smashed out hepatitis alcoholic Mercer?
    Lewis was a great, great fighter, but lets not act like he was some kind of superman who just tore everyone apart. A win for Lennox Lewis over a prime Wladimir would be the biggest win of his career. His lucky escape vs Vitali may not be known as his greatest win because nobody knew how good Vtali was yet, but it is the toughest fight he ever won.

    Football? You think stiff-ass Rock can bend it like BECKHAM?

    Noooo way, Jose. :nono Only young Sikh girls with big dreams and infectious verve can bend it to Beckham's specifications.

    Lennox should have went through his own career undefeated. Dumb **** happens when big men start throwing punches.

    Lennox let's see he.
    Beat a badly shot Tyson
    Beat a past prime Holyfield and couldn't stop him.
    Couldn't KO Morrison quicker than Brentt or Mercer
    Outpointed Tua after Ike already had already got to him.
    Got KO'd by Rahman and McCall
    Lucked out with Vitali and ducked the rematch by RETIRING.
    Lennox Lewis was Overrated.

    Yeah, no ****. Lewis' suspect whiskers would have almost betrayed him against several of Wlad's opponents, including Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster, and perhaps others.

    Lewis didn't take the greatest shot, and both Rahman and McCall showed that clearly.:deal

    I don't see how LL could.

    There are a number of fighters that IMO could hit as hard or harder than McCall/Rahman. Lennox never, ever proved that he could get knocked down from a punch and get up to win.

    His total # of fights was relatively short (44 fights) for a professional HW Champ, but he made the most out of his opportunities. He is an ATG HW and I have ranked at #4 on my own personal list, but don't get confused that someone as susceptible to getting knocked down and being unable to continue can go through another ATG's record and go 66-0.

    True, and didn't he avoid southpaws? Wlad fought:

    Sanders
    Byrd x2
    Ibragimov
    Haye
    Povetkin at 37 y/o
    Pulev at 38 y/o
    Peter x2

    Still might fight:

    Jennings
    Stiverne
    Povetkin rematch
    Fury

    All at the age of 38+

    Wlad would be on his 4's after Lewis lands a bomb.

    Lewis would slap him around just like he did Vitali. :hi:

    TKO6!!! :deal

    Wlad has never been knocked spark out, Lewis has. Wlads chin>>> his.

    Lewis would be the favorite against anyone on Wlads resume yes, but it's not unlikely that we could see him starched a few times. There are a few guys on Wlads resume more than capable of upsetting him.
