    1) Beating fighters into quitting or their corners pulling them out does not really equal power.

    2) Lewis fought about 10 guys who were 1 or 2 levels above the best fighter Wlad has ever fought.

    I would say Lewis' 72% is more impressive than Wlad's 83%. Especially when you consider Lewis faced much better opposition.

    :lol: I seriously doubt Lennox Lewis is overrated...Many would disagree with this statement...I dont know if this is a joke or just your personal dislike for him...but Lennox is a ATG at HW!:good

    By who exactly?, Valuev? :lol:

    Both Klitschkos would have given him the best fights but he would have beat them anyway as he already did against one of them.

    If you compare their resumé, Lewis is better. But Wlad has probably 4 years left. I'm quite sure that Wlads resumé won't be different compared to Lewis when he retires. People find his style boring (exactly the same things were said about Lewis when he was active). If Wlad keeps the focus, manages to collect the belts that his brother will relinguish and KOes the newcomers he will get the recognition that he deserves when he retires.....

    Great fighter legend not an ATG top 3 like somebody said but he is a top 10 or 5 HWT maybe the 4th best reign behind Ali Louis and Holmes then Wlad at 5th Vitali always gives Lewis a war. Wlad of now vs Lennox makes it a chess match and close. Lewis would kick the crap outta anybody else though a Valuev fight would be cool I think anybody big like Lewis or the Ks vs Valuev is just a great matchup. I think the giant is KO'd by all 3.

    Same thoughts time changes opinion Lennox Lewis has never been so highly regarded until years later. Wlad will probably be the same way.
