    No, which of Wlad'd defenses are you saying would have been a tough night for Lewis?

    Chris Byrd - Gets an Ibeauchi type beating.
    Sam Peter - sucker for uppcercut. Does worse than Tommy Morison
    McCline - Gets Donavan Ruddock'd tko2
    Ruslan Chagaev- if he wasn't a tough night for Wlad he wouldn't be for Lewis
    David Haye - see Shannon Brigg's
    Sultan - same result as WK

    And yet you wanted Wlad to fight Briggs who was over 40 years old too, lol.

    Corrie sanders against Wlad was where David haye was against Tony bellew.

    Bellew beat Makabu a lot more impressively than Wlad beat Haye and Mormeck.

    If Wlad is so great why is tony bellew outshining him against cruisers
    He moved up to fight them. They moved up to fight Wlad .

    In terms of pfp skill and ring IQ, absolutely.
    Bellew was a very intelligent boxer.

    Adamek beat him and Vitali beat Adamek. That should make Vitali overtake Bellew as third best h2h ever.
