    That was before Wlad changed and perfected his style so isn't relevant.

    Ya that style of getting punched in the head repeatedly wasn't really working for him was it?

    I said Wlad KO, because to me he is technically better than Lewis, but let's be honest, it could probably go the other way too. Two average chins and big power ... somebody is getting KTFO

    uhuh, conveniently for kliturds this happens after he gets destroyed.

    in his 30s.

    who changes their style to perefetion intheir 30s? only reason people adapt is because they are getting older and worse.


    wlad had every chance to challenge lewis when wlad was prime, but he didn't. good reason 4 it. he wasn't god enough to get in contention ahead of retired failures.

    I can imagine Wlad's anxiety attacks now. Those long arms of Lewis spell disaster for him. The notion that Wlad is more technically skilled than Lewis is guff too.

    Bad night for Wlad this

    I'm sure Lewis also got destroyed in his 20's, could be wrong though...

    The entire subject is irrelevant because to have faced each other at their best they would have had to have shared trainers.

    Double knockout or draw, take your pick. It doesn't really matter, these new slouches can't fight. Throw 20 bucks on the black guy for now, I suppose. Lenin or whatever his name is.

    I'll care more in 40 years. Call me when their footage degrades into something that looks like the camera used shot Al Jolson in blackface prior to the match. Real old school. Back when skills were skills, and heavyweights knew how to overcome those big oafs.

    Who was Steward in his corner? That is my pick. Manny said he thought Wlad was a little better.

    I think it's a very hard call, and could go either way.

    If Wlad gets his jab going early, I like him. If not, I like Lewis.

    Neither could take the other best shots.

    Wlad has a speed edge, Lewis an early confidence edge after the stare down.

    LOL, ol' Wlad took a shellacking in this one. Wow, one loss and he's degraded to junk status? Is Lewis really that good? I'm thinking that if Wlad had KO'd Fury, the poll might look a bit better.

    Using that logic are you going to sit there and say that if Walcott had stopped Marciano he would be more highly touted?!
