Athletic heavy weight fights

Klitschko definitely looked sharper against Haye than what Lewis did against Evan Fields.

 

Of course he could beat Lewis. Despite Vitalis poor guard and weak skin he almost did aswell.

The thing is that Lewis and Vitali both preyed on short and small opposition but both exposed eachother when the size became similar. The Same happened for many other Super heavyweights. Today we have more big guys than ever. And the trend keeps going upwards.

 

Welcome to the club! I once compared Lewis style with Charles Martin. To my eyes they are similar in speed and style. Please do and give your honest opinion here When I did that, it was not popular here I guarantee, But just put the names aside and do a fare comparison of the fundamentals.

 

Lewis was a lot less plodding and slow than you think, he was standing off at the edge of his range against Holufield who had traded most of his own movility for extra muscle and lost some due to age.
Lewis was very athletic dont get it twisted.


Tyson vs tucker was a very athletic fight in that regard with tucker having great legs and reflexes, actually ducking under tysons overhand right and throwing triple left hooks. Tyson obviously was ridiculously athletic for his build.

 

Wlad was quicker than Lennox, yes. And hit even harder than Lewis did. But Lennox was more versatile offensively and had better adaptability during the fights compared to Wlad. Both were great fighters
