Imagine what a prime Lennox Lewis would've done to Vitali Klitschko

Vitaly was way better than those. Golota had rather suspect chin and fragile mentality. Rahman - average size, skills, suspect chin. Grant - glass jaw, lack of skills and speed.

 

Lewis was very hot and cold. He managed to dig deep against Vitali and turn around a fight he was losing badly. There's no guarantee that "prime" Lewis manages to open a freak cut on Vits.

 

While I think Lewis would win, I don't think it would be an easy night for Lewis.

 

Bash in both sides of his face?

 

Knowing Vitali had a solid chin, Lennox would do his normal, cautious boxing and win by decision.

 

He'd still win but be more cautious in doing so.
He'd probably get him self a points win unless there happened a freak cut..

 

Why. Lewis' reach was 4 inches longer?

 

Vit's use and judgement of distance was one of the best tools he had in the ring. He was able to land and lean back, or lean back and land very well. Not what you'd teach a young fighter but it worked for him very well.

 

It stands to reason that a younger and sharper version of Lewis would win again

 

Highlight one thing you remember from that fight. A lot of people would say Vitali eating uppercuts that pinged his head upwards. Not one but a couple.
This fight convinced many Klit fanboys that Vitali had the greatest chin ever. These facts counteract your claim Vitali was some sort of distance controlling master.
Frank Bruno controlled the distance against PRIME Lewis better than Vitali did

 

Vitali would have still been a tough fight. His European style would have given Lewis fits.
