I honestly thought I'd been smoking pot reading some of these posts, lewis vs Vladimir 50/50 some even got Vladimir beating lewis I don't think I'm the one that's been smoking the pot, Vladimir doesn't punch that hard, yes he can knock out bums but infact he couldn't even do that on saturday night, and the one time he did get hit he was nearly knocked out, lewis would have ko'd Vladimir real quick, I can't believe this is being discussed, Saturday was what happens wen some bum doesn't just fall over, Vladimir is so so lucky wach wasn't an ounce of a better boxer and he was losing his belts big time.
Wouldnt even be close . The first time Lennox lands that big right hand its goodnight Wlad. Lennox is arguably the best HW champ since Ali. Wlad just looks good against sub parr opposition. Wlad would fight scared Lennox would walk all over him
Lewis was so much better. More versatile, have more weapons (hooks, uppercut vs only jab and straight right for Wlad) better movements and ring generalship. The lion also had a much better killer instinct. Once Wlad enter in panic mode, its ovahhhhh.
Theses last few posts regarding Lewis and his punching power has restored my faith in boxing people... Geez, Vlad drags all these bums way too many rds, and he hits harder than Lewis ??? I can`t see how anyon thinks that Vlad weak whiskers could handle Lewis` TNT of a right hand... Can`t you see see, Vlad backing up flicking a jab form his elbow,while backing up with chin up . How many times does he do that before Lewis` times it and snaps ( yes he snaps his punches, Vlad is a push puncher) his right hand over the top of Vlad`s left and lights out ???
aside from all the britards in this thread... which always taint any thread... i would say its about 55%-45% for LL but Wlads carreer isn't over just yet. If price comes along well and Wlad takes him out in 2 years and retires... then i would favor Wlad over LL either way both guys have a good chance and it wouldn't be any higher then 60/40 which ever way you look at it...
This...^ But I won't argue with anyone picking Wlad...honestly they match up pretty evenly and either guy could win it...
Well we've seen a past prime Lewis beat someone who's just as good as Wlad (Vitali) but we've never seen Wlad fight an A level opponent yet and we might never see him fight one.
Lewis wins, early, brutal and convincing to all except the morons here at ESB who ranks Wlad as the greatest ever...
Lewis pushes the action early. Wlad can't just paw and stay away. Lewis lands a right hand. Wlad goes down. Repeat until referee stoppage. Lewis is just too fast and too aggressive for Wlad.
