    Old time Bump. :lol::lol: Was actually thinking about the flip side to this subject earlier :D How Lewis would’ve done facing Wlad’s top opponents and all the highly skilled lefties. Something Lewis never faced. But let’s ride with this one :thumbsup:

    I actually think Wlad would’ve done a lot better than many think. Probably a couple of bumps in the road but The Wlad with Manny Steward would’ve picked apart The Vast Majority of all Lewis’ opponents. And I actually think a lot of those guys would’ve brought the pressure and forced Wlad to let his hands go early. A lot like Pulev and Jefferson tried. So I actually think do to this… Wlad would’ve had more KO’s.

    Sam Peter 1 Wlad vs Mercer is interesting. But I really think Wlad would slice and cut Mercer up do to his power and do to Mercer being there all night for that 1-2. Mercer wasn’t a clubber like Peter and didn’t crack people in the back of the head. He was more straight up and measured than young Peter. I do think Mercer would have his moments with his jab and occasional rights but nothing Wlad couldn’t keep it together against. For all his flaws… Peter could crack. HARD. I just don’t see Wlad losing this one especially with Manny in his corner. I’d say late cuts stoppage or TKO. 9 or 10.

    Young Pre Manny Wladimir vs
    Gary Mason = Durable and a big hitter could be a possible banana skin.
    Razer Ruddock = A legitimate 1 punch KO artist a fight Wladimir easily could lose.
    Tony Tucker = Wladimir wins on points Tucker is durable but not offensive enough.
    Frank Bruno = Another dangerous fight against a big hitter.
    Tyrell Biggs = Biggs was past it Wladimir wins by KO
    Olivier Mccall = Could be another Purrity situation with McCall's durability outlasting Wladimir's suspect gas tank.

    Wladimir of Sam Peter I Fight vs
    Prime Ray Mercer = Tough one the Mercer in 1996 was a whole different proposition to the shot Mercer Wladimir fought in 2002.
    Tommy Morrison = Wladimir stops Morrison.
    Olivier Mccall II = Easy win for Wladimir McCall was a mess mentally at this time


    Wladimir of 2009-2011 vs
    Henry Akinwande = Wladimir by stoppage.
    Andrew Golota = Wladimir by stoppage.
    Evander Holyfield I + II = Wladimir on points.
    Shannon Briggs = Dangerous fight i think whilst i heavily favour Wladimir, Briggs could come out fast and blitz Wladimir early. Remember Lewis had to survive a few scares early on could Wladimir do the same ?
    David Tua = The out of shape Tua drops a decision barring a hail mary left hook.
    Michael Grant = Wladimir by early stoppages.
    Fransis Brotha = Wladimir by mid round stoppage.


    Current Wladimir vs
    Rahman = Wladimir by TKO
    Tyson (2002) = Wladimir by TKO

    I think overall Wladimir would lose more fights than Lewis did especially in the early parts of his career.

    I would favor him against any rival, but he would probably lose to someone in a similar way when he lost to Sanders or Brewster. Briggs, Bruno and Holyfield would have the best chances against him. I think it's 50-50 with Vitali, I assume that in 2002 in the fight with Lennox Vitali was a bit unlucky, if the same thing had happened to him with Wlad, he would probably have lost too. Fights with Tua and Tyson would be much easier than people think, and I don't think Mercer would win more than 3 rounds against him.
