    He fought them again and sparcked them both out, you idiotic little *****:lol:

    He beat the likes of Tua, Holyfield, Golota, Mercer, Morrison, Tucker, Bruno, Ruddock, he beat every opponent he ever faced.

    I'm not so sure about that, they have similar styles. Both have questionable chins, but Wlad has more power and a better jab. I think that Wlad could win the fight against Lewis.....

    Wlad's chin isn't questionable, it's ****ing abysmal.

    Lennox had twice the power Wlad does.

    How is he overrated? He beat everybody put in front of him? When he had a loss he rematched the guy he lost to and beat him. He virtually beat every opponent he had ever faced and he is overrated? He was the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world and he is one of only five people in history to have won the heavyweight championship three times.
    :huh

    He rematched and beat them both. And anybody can get knocked out, any ****ing person in he world, ESPECIALLY in the heavyweight division. Getting knocked out does not make you overrated, being out-boxed and out-skilled is a bigger way to lose then just being knocked out. Obviously.

    Wladimir matches up with Lennox better than Vitali does, IMO.

    He's over-rated because Zak doesn't like him, common knowledge on this site, especially because he beat Holyfield and Holyfield almost always gets the short end of the stick regarding the legacy of each fighter at heavy.

    It's actually quite hard to rate the three; Lewis, Tyson and Holyfield, for a number of reasons. I personally have Lews on top but valid arguments can be made for either of the other two, particularly Holyfield. Most people don't appreciate the good fortune we've had of seeing all three of these fighters, all of whom are ATG's fight. Just too bad, they couldn't have gone H2H against each other in their primes, along with Bowe. This then would have been the greatest era in the heavyweight division ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Lewis got KOed twice by shots to the head. Wlad only got KOed once by Sanders, the second time to Brewster it wasn't even a head shot that dropped him, it wsa more exhaustion.

    Both lewis and wlad have very good chins. Only a couple times did they get put down while fighting the best of the best.

    a glass jaw is more like Mike Grant who got wrecked several times and had his career ruined. Wlad and Lewis both came back stronger from their stoppage losses.

    Yeah I can't believe Holyfield is still going, I was pissed when he wasn't given the decision against Valuev. But anyway, I am not even going to argue what position Lennox is on a top 50, 20, 10 list of great fighters. I think Its just impossible and incredibly ******ed to say that he is overrated.

    wlad is prime right now and has all the tools to beat lewis! ask naz richardson,steward or roach there opinion on this fight! i think you'd be surprised! lewis is a great fighter but he shudda rematched vitali and a prime wlad fight would be 50/50.

    If he had that kind of power he would've had a higher KO-ratio than Wlad. Lewis KO-ratio 72% compared to Wlad 83%, quite a difference, isn't it...
