    That's true, Lewis wasn't afraid of trading and threw more puches, and took more risks than Wladimir. Also had more of a mean streak

    You can see by the picture in your avy that Lennox was so laid back he was only a few inches from being certified as a coma patient and would more than happily coast to any easy win without getting involved if he could but he still had far more killer instinct than Wlad and if Lennie was up for a tear up and thought he could walk you down... he did and it usually didn't end well for the other guy and someone with the beard of Haye would get slaughtered by Lewis

    Lewis and Steward weren't stupid. Lewis was aggressive when it was the best course of action, not because he felt he couldn't be hurt or had the "mean streak"..etc. That's just stupid, Lewis knows as well as any fighter you can be hurt by anybody.

    He walked down Rahman in the rematch because Steward observed he couldn't counter or fight going backwards. He walked down Vitali and Grant because they had longer arms and weaker inside games, and he would have trouble controlling them from range...etc.

    Meanwhile he probably could have finished Tua or Holyfield if he opened up more, but kept them at arms length and racked up the points because he could.

    Though obviously the claim of Lewis being scared to take a hit is complete bull****, he walked through countless punches and got rocked quite a few times to close the gap against Bruno and Vitali. I've really only seen Wlad have to do that against Thompson who actually outlanded him but really isn't a power guy.

    1.Well yeah Tua wasn't hard to land on but my point is, Lewis even in a cautious mode at some point always moved up a gear to land the heavy stuff.

    2. Haye wouldn't drop to his knees with Lewis. That came about because Haye was well aware Wlad gets away with excessive holding in Germany and was paranoid about it. Yes Lewis held and leaned on his opponents, but not to the extent of Wlad so Haye would'nt do that.

    3. Fair enough.

    -I'm also sure Haye would be aware that in addition to the "concrete blanket", Lewis gets away with the grab and uppercut at close quarters. Haye would drop to his knees alright.

    where did i say lewis folded under pressure??i said he didnt like being hit..and i also said he was mentally tough to deal with being hit..but he still didnt like it none the less..his style was there to avoid being tagged just like wlad.and at the risk of repeating myself that is the only difference between the 2.lewis always was mentally tough enough to deal with it he just got sparked a few times..wlad had to learn how to deal with it..how is this hard to comprehend...i know its because im a lewis and wlad fan and you arnt...and sorry lewis only opened up the whoop ass when it was safe to do so....wlad does the same he just does it 2 rounds later than lennox..just to be sure..to be sure

    I see some posters are seeing the light; Haye has a better chance at beating Lewis than Wladimir.

    It makes me glad.

    When did i say you said Lewis folds under pressure? Scared of being hit was the point.

    It's nothing to do with you being a Wlad fan it's the fact you say your a Lewis fan and he's your favourite boxer.

    But in a roundabout way your saying Wlad folds under pressure, Lewis doesn't. I'll take that.
