    No, but most people think that Lennox Lewis was an ATG.

    No it isn't. A similar question would be "Would a green Wladimir Klitschko beat Razor Ruddock or Gary Mason?" Or "Would a prime Wladimir Klitschko beat Andrew Golota?"

    I think the answer to the second question is "Yes", but the answer to the first question is "No".

    Says you! But Science says otherwise, Genius.

    Why are you so desperate to pretend that man was black....what does this reveal about your character?

    Wlad's jab = ****.

    He mostly paws with it. The primary purpose of Wlad's so-called "jab" is to keep guys away from his shaky chin.

    Lewis' jab, OTOH, was a weapon - like Holmes' jab was a weapon. Lewis's jab was hard and stinging.

    Wlad's jab is limp and pathetic - in need of some Viagra...

    Why you idolize the gingers...could it be like your ancestors you believe their red hair is divine somehow? I want to study you, get inside your head, and see what makes a man....well such as yourself tick.

    Lewis won the European title in his 14th fight and made his first defence against the tough, undefeated Gary Mason. He also blew away Ruddock before he won his first World title against Tucker in his 23rd fight.

    Wlad must have had nearly 40 fights by the time he won a World title.

    Actually, I'd give a prime Wlad at least 50/50 odds against Vitaly. Both are brilliant, but Wlad has always struck me as more technically sound. However, I will be very surprised if Wlad at 38 will be comparable with Vitaly in 2003.

    So you don't think that Wlad would've KO'd the same old version of Holyfield that Toney did? :roll:

    Razor was over rated. Prime or no prime. Tommy Morrison KO'd him, as did Tyson & young Lewis. I have no reason to believe that Wlad wouldn't have KO'd him too.

    You have issues, probably related to race, that I can't help you with. Seek council. :thumbsup

    You are talking to a guy who religiously clings to the undying believe that Ramses II and his family was black despite countless well researched scientific evidence that proves otherwise. No that it matters to me what color they were, but he asked the questoin, "name a white pharoh" and has buried his head in the sand ever since.

    If Wlad somehow went back in time and KOed Holyfield, he would deny it. Nay Sayer is a fascinating subject though...I used to think he was a white guy pretending to be black militant..but it might go deeper than that.

    Technically, he beat a 38 year old top 5 Heavyweight.

    On the rise, Tua showed more ability than Peter but the version who fought Lewis was a fat slug 2 years removed from his only win over a top 10 fighter. He would never beat a ranked fighter again.....oh, and got ***** smacked by Chris Byrd...the guy Wlad knocked around the ring twice.

    If Toney is a defensive genius then why did Peter practically land on him at will? Either Toney isn't that great or Peter is. Which is it? Maybe a combination of the two?
