    Lenonx is better in every department than Wladimir.

    Wlad was faster overall, better foot work, better left hook, better jab.

    No, no, yes, no

    Lewis did everything better except the hook.

    Wlad made be taller but LL's reach was insane. It rivals Fury's despite him being considerably shorter.

    He's also better at that aswell, because Lennox leans on you with his elbow on the back off your head, sucking all the energy out of you. At times he'll also throw the uppercut aswell when doing it like he did with grant. Yep, Lennox wins again.

    Watch Wladimir than watched Lennox vs David Tua and tell me who has the better footwork. Jab of wladimir can't compare to Lennox's. Better hook, but Lennox had the uppercut from hell. Lennox had one of the most ferocious uppercuts i've ever seen, which gave him the option to fight on the inside aswell.

    I had the misfortune of ordering the Tua fight on PPV. Not even the best Lewis showcase...man. That was a lazy performance against a lazier contender. I would go with Holyfield 1. And yes, Wlad has the better jab and lighter feet. No contest.

    Lewis has the better uppercut. I agree. Possible better over hand right as well.

    We never saw Lewis at 40 years of age, with 60 plus fights under his belt.

    Lewis would have already been retired fearing a challenge from a young and dangerous opponent

    Well a boxer isn't just the summation of his over all punching abilities, it's also other aspects as well. such as controlling distance, fighting on the inside, etc. When it actually comes to thinking in the ring, Lewis wins hands down. When it comes to just turning a boxing match into a fight, again it's Lewis all day. Other aspects such as controlling distance and jabbing, I might give to Wlad, but most of Wlad's MO was to keep the fight on the outside and win from a distance, so of course he should be able to excel in those departments, his whole game plan depended upon it.

    No but I think his over all comp was much better. I don't know about you, but I'd take quality over quantity every time.
