Prime for Prime: Lennox ~vs~ Wlad - Classic Views?

Well I suppose we'll have to disagree on the first point. Saying Wlad has no mental fortitude is an overstatement but he does suffer from nerves, the first Peter performance was a good 1 but a nervous 1, he has become very much a safety first fighter, certainly not the mentality and confidence of his brother

Wlad has adapted a style to offset his durability issues, which is similar to what Ruiz did after the . I think Wlad's run is very good and his opponents are a little underrated but he hasn't faced anyone with the same threat combining power and speed like Sanders and Haye will be the real test, I see Haye rushing him early too

Who has everyone got for Wlad-Haye?? I go back and forth on that match up

 

Yes, Wlad would grab often, but he would pay the price dearly as he brutally dominates him up close. Lewis is extremely devestating in the clinch as shown against Vitali, Akinwande etc. Lennox even managed to out-muscle VK in the clinch & land some debilitating nukes to the body which wore him out quickly, then there are the devestating bombs he landed on his chin which would've sparked Wlad out. As often said, Wlad has been known to get off the canvas time & time again, but these would not be glancing punches from a crude slugger, Lewis aims with accuracy & delivers with great timing, technique & has the hardest righhand i've seen.

Solid post. Lewis has supreme confidence in his ability to fight & destroy his opponents. He would force a rough fight at close-mid range & batter Wlad senseless. I see no hope of Wlad surviving the distance, because at any moment Lewis can charge in (no way the jab keeps him off, Vitali unsuccessfully tried), & unleash heavy-hitting pressure up close, like he used to devestate VK. The difference is Vitali has some fighting ability & great durability, whereas Wlad has neither & panics if he can't keep control pacing with his careful, saftey-orientated "jab, jab, grab" boxing. Lennox is the ultimate destroyer of big strong Superheavies, as shown by his incredible KO's of Biggs, Ruddock, Bruno, Akinwande, Golota, Briggs & Grant, who all were brutalised. :!:

 

Lennox would step to him as he did with similar sized men and get him out of there mid to late. It'd be very close on the cards before that though.

 

:good:good:good

 

:deal

 

Aaaaah..... look at that. A guy who can't even see a shoe being taped together on HBO HI-DEF! is going to tell us about boxing. :rofl



And some very interesting stuff from MagnaNasakki.

 

Screw you "Mong the Troll".

Put me on your Ignore List, like you promised.

 

Not......yet.

I want you to be my new Hegrant for a little while.

I mean its not like you didn't bring this on yourself, talking ****, than unable to admit a simple mistake.

All you had to say was "Geez, I totally forgot about the shoe." No you acted like a *****, so now you will be treated like one, and have lost all credibility in my eyes to the point I doubt you even watched a single boxing fight all the way through.

 

So ****ing what if his shoe was a little dodgey.

Obese Arreola badly rocked him several times.
If he hadn't been 20lbs overweight he would've stopped Adamek.

When VK brutally beats-up & KO's Adamek, will you cry?

 

You mean like when you attribute 1 posters comments to a completely different poster during of your random bitchfests :nut

 

And you wander why I confuse you with Shoegate. The two of you are joined ass to ass.

Bitchfest? I take issue with your use of the word "fest."

 

-Big talk from a guy who didn't watch the fight. :bart

- No but I'll probably kill myself. Harakiri with a dull bamboo stick in a shopping mall while blasting The Talking Head's "Burning Down the House" from a Boombox. Can you dig? I can dig. I also plan on blowing up a school bus and shooting a Catholic Priest if Michael Grant doesn't win his next fight.

 

Nah he nutthugs most white fighters, especially the Klits

 

Not anymore. He´s too confident nowadays. We don´t know yet how he reacts when getting knocked down or hurt today though, perhaps his confidence crumbles again. I doubt it though.

I don´t think it´s a close matchup. Who has Haye pressuered at hw? Old Ruiz? Getting knocked down by Barret? Fighting scared against a past prime Valuev? Nah, sorry I don´t see many chances for Haye. More than a puncher´s chance but not much.

 

HEY, HEY, HEY, HEY! ...Let's just watch our use of the word "fest" here...There are plenty of fests that don't want to be brought into the conversation, in the negative. Let's just try and mind our mother****ing language here. This is the CLASSIC section. :twisted:
