    Fair enough.
    I think I'm getting a bit jaded with all the bitching that's going on around here.

    no WAY man. lennox waited tyson down the entire fight

    ok no this thread title may be misleading, i was a big lennox fan, i HATED the robbery in the first fight. but its just people talk about lennox like he and wlad fight so differently.

    they seem damn near identical to me in all my limited opinion.

    Hypocracy my ass, numbnuts! If you actually unsderstood the sport of boxing fanboy, then you'd see the clear differences. Lewis - Holy I was a very well rounded performance by Lewis showing great skill and high firepower that simply had bit of a dropoff at the end of the fight doue to fatigue. Wlad - Chaggy on the other hand was a glorified sparring session where klitschko cautiously jabbed, jabbed, jabbed, ZzzzzzZZzz, jabbed his way to victory without showing any great variety or an killer instinct whatsoever.

    If you enjoy going to sleep in the middle of fights then by all means enjoy Wlad's bouts all you want.

    I don't think Lewis was a very exciting fighter, but:

    - his arsenal did consist of more than a jab and a straight right (Klitschko could learn something from his hooks, uppercuts and combinations).
    - he was able to fight inside.
    - was more willing to go for the blood and kill instead of a dragged out fight.
    - he didn't immediately acted scared when his opponent threw a punch.
    - he had a demeanor (e.g. the rahman pre-fight conference).

    It must be said that Lewis had the era with him (he stepped in when a crop of good fighters were around, though he faced some when past their prime).

    All these things helped his entertainment value somewhat and it is the lack of all these things that makes Wlad just plain blunt and not entertaining.

    Holyfield fought back thats the difference instead of just getting punched, perhaps you should stop watching boxing and move onto another sport :patsch

    Yes your opinion is very limited lewis stepped to guys wlad takes 10/11 rounds to beat and koed them thats the difference. The likes of grant, ruddock, golota wouldn't have been koed so early by wlad.

    :roll: Been training in the art and and in and out of boxing since the age of 11, which gives me over a decade of experience with the sport. Fanboys like you on the other hand can barely distinguish the difference between a left hook and a left jab and just cling to fighter's nuts without any true realization of what's going in the ring. Evidence by this thread you know-nothing bag of ****.

    They might be similar fighters in terms of talent and physical attributes but Lewis is the more aggressive fighter. I suspect that in the early 90's Wlad would only be a top contender, perhaps a temporary belt holder, rather than a top HW champ. Right now, I respect Klit for his talent, potential and his defense. For all his punch accuracy and power, he's not as dynamic a fighter as Lewis. And we all know why Klit had to become a more conservative, measured fighter.

    GTFO of here, Lennox Lewis was always looking to set up his overhand right horsekick from his first pro fights in the UK to the World Heavyweight Championship - Tony T, Bruno, Briggs, everybody... He even got knocked out by the Atomic Bull tryin to send him to wonderland and then sent the Rock there and Tyson and was about to land that big one on Vitali... The two performances Lewis looked Klitschko style were against Oliver McCall in their second meeting and Akinwande.
