    against Lennox 'The Lion' Lewis?

    We are talking about a prime, fully-motivated Lennox Lewis with Emanuel Steward in his corner.

    No. If Vitali couldn't do it, no Russian can.

    Lomachenko lasts longest though.

    Wlad and Vitali are Ukrainian. And Povetkin was knocked down by Wlad's range finder jab... can you imagine what Lennox would do to him? :shock:

    the ukraine were all part of the soviet union Back in the days.. That should always be taken into consideration when talking about fighters from russia..

    just like aasian fighters are still asian even if theyre filipino, or japanese ect.. its still asian..

    :-(I'm so sick of hearing that. They're all ****ing Russians. Ukrainians, Georgians, Moldovan, Belarussians, all are basically Russian, different nationality does not mean a different race.

    They're all Slavs, which is an ethnic group of the White Race:deal As are Poles, Serbians, Czechs, Bulgarians, Slovaks, Croatians etc.

    You are missing one important difference between 'Asian' and 'Russian' - one is race and the other is not.

    a prime Vitali would not only last the distance against Lennox but knock him the **** out

    i'm talking about 2008-2010 Vitali, not the green, unprepared, no gameplan and injured version that Lennox fought and who still would have stopped Lummox if it wasn't for the lucky cuts and biased doctor, referee and venue
