    Both of these men can...

    Take serious amounts of punishment
    Can dish it out big time
    Both won't stop coming forward
    Both have heart
    Both have KO power

    Who wins and how?

    Lebedev is even less defensively minded than Rocky.
    Free swinging bangers that got into a shootout with Rocky had momentary success but eventually got steamrolled.
    Rocky had a level of conditioning that meant he could incessantly throw punches with maximum power for 15rounds ,he also had tremendous desire and fighting heart,apart from perhaps Dempsey ,and Langford I can't pick against him in the under 200lbs category.
    I'd certainly like to be ringside to watch this though!

    Tis amazing how far Lebedev has not only got with his lack of defence, but how he is still around after some of the fights he has been in & injuries he has picked up. Teak tough!
