    Exactly. Lewis destroys Wvlad, so who gives a **** what Manny thinks? He trained them. So what? If he told you Floyd could beat up the Big Show would you believe him? Bad example......

    Steward did not say who would win that fight.

    I think Lewis would fight far more careful and start way slower than against guys like Golotha or Grant. Lewis respects Wlad and knows he can box. Read Lewis' interviews. Read what the man himself says.

    If Lewis ran at Wlad guns blazing he might knock him out cold in 2 rounds but there is a slight risk he runs into a heavy hand of Wlad's himself and Lewis knows his own vulnerabilities.

    Lewis would try for 3-4 rounds to see if he can take care of Wlad from the outside without big risk. Then if he sees Wlad isn't falling apart, then he'd take more risk and try to apply more pressure as he closes the distance some more.

    People on the forum who say "Lewis would risk everything and knock Wlad out in 1 round" don't understand that Lewis was way too smart to box as stupid as that.

    Like Manny said, Lewis just had an uncanny ability to win fights. The guy was smiling throughout the Vitali Klitschko fight and that was a pressure cooker full of action and drama. You gotta admire a guy who can be so comfortable even in the most uncomfortable of ring circumstances. I'm pretty sure that Lewis would have found a way to beat Wladimir Klitschko.

    I dont need Manny Steward to tell me that Lewis would annihilate Wladimir. And any boxing fan knows this.

    Besides, the man can hardly pick either guy. He trained Lewis for many years and is good friends and in frequent contact with the guy from their HBO work. On the other hand, he trains Wlad now, he can hardly pick anybody to beat his fighter.

    Lennox would of destroyed Wlad in a few rounds maximum, anyone who thinks otherwise is a likely nuthugger.

    Would Wlad have been Lennox' easiest fight? I don't think so.

    Call this nuthuggery all you want, Waldo is a good boxer. One can question Waldo's heart and chin but he's a far better boxer than most of Lennox' opponents.

    Doesn't mean Wlado can't go down in round 1. But so can Lennox.

    If this was such an easy fight as all you self-proclaimed experts claim, why didn't Lewis pursue it when he was active? Lennox could have easily fought Wlado in 2002 and picked up another belt, but he didn't. WHY? Way too much risk for too little reward. Lennox would have gotten zero fame for beating Wlado but much hate for losing.

    And Lewis' best wins were several levels above anybody on Wlad's record. Simple fact is, we'll never know for certain who would have won but we can make educated guesses. Lewis is the more proven fighter by far. Wlad has a good record, a very good record but mainly that's due to numbers rather than who he's fought. That's not his fault, it's unfortunate for him that he rules over such a weak division.

    Firstly, you are a ****ing imbecile. See a post that contradicts what you think and jump in two feet first like the dumb Klit licker you are. :-(

    Your post had NOTHING to do with what I had written you argumentative clown.

    What I posted was my ****ing opinion whether you like or not - get it? Nah, I didn't think so. This WALDO - Lewis **** has been done to death and I've given my opinion, reason, justification....call it what you want on the majority of the threads. If you haven't been here long enough to grasp this sonny, it ain't my ****ing issue. :lol:

    Backing up with facts?? It's an opinion on a mythical match up you anus. :rofl

    The FACT is that WALD would crumble under an early Lewis onslaught. :deal
