    If the likes of a young Vitali were about now, Wlad would have retired too you doofus. At this rate Wlad will be able to do at Hopkins because the rest of the field are so poor. Both bros had one legacy enhancing opponent available and they never fought him. Instead they tag teamed the rest of a terrible division. Ergh.

    Nonsense like yours is what puts people off Wlad.

    Least Wlad had the ***** to face Sanders, Lewis ducked him and every other southpaw on the planet. Lennox probably would have gotten steamrolled also by Sanders.

    Yup those unfortunate souls are getting consistently dominated and knocked out... Lenny went life and death with a fat Mercer and the 6'2 215 pound neverwas Zelkro" The bread hustler" Mavrovic during championship prime years.

    The difference from Wlad to Lewis is that he has a chin.
    Lewis vs Sanders?
    If Vitali can beat him, what makes you think Lewis wouldn't have?

    Also, which south Paws did Lewis avoid?
    Chris Bryd hahahah

    Not this nonsense again:patsch

    Lewis didn't duck Sanders, Sanders was a nobody. But funny how Wlad didn't have the ***** to rematch Sanders and instead had to get his big brother to avenge his defeat for him.

    And who were all these southpaws that Lewis ducked? If you are referring to Chris Byrd then you should realise that Lewis was paid $1million in step aside money because Don King, Bryd himself and anyone else with half a brain knew what a mismatch the fight would be.

    Lenny a chin :rofl:rofl:rofl
    Every single time this guy was hit with a semi decent hard punch he was wobbly. Steward did a great job teaching him how to hold on and cover up when he was hurt other wise he wouldv'e been KO'd a few more times in his career.

    Wlad has never been KO'd. Every single time he's been knocked down he's gotten up. Never been counted out for 10.

    Lewis is 2/2 in that department. Whenever he went down he got counted out. The hallmark of a true gl*** mandible. Steward did a great job but even the master couldn't stop "the Thunder in Africa" from happening.:lol:

    Lewis was scared of Sanders. He never wanted him in the ring.Lewis is slower than Wlad and has worse reflexes. The sniper would have knocked him out cold with one left hook.

    He vacated his IBF title so he didn't have to fight Byrd...he had more of a hunger for a fat Kirk Johnson instead

    Michael Moorer was a 2 time champ in Lewis' era. Didn't fight him.

    Lenny didn't want to ever fight southpaws.

    number of lefty's faced

    Wlad- 8

    Lenny- 0

    Revisionist?

    You're the one essentially ignoring that Lewis beat Vitali

    Bottom lime is Wladimir gets wrecked by punchers. He's very VERY lucky he never had to face many. Imagine if Lennox and Wlad switched eras and opposition, Wlad would likely have been knocked out a ****load of times where Lewis would look like a god completely dominating everyone he stepped into the ring against.

    It's most amazing how some people don't get that Lewis's arrogance made these fights more difficult than they should have been.

    Any fighter he respected he dominated. I know he only had himself to blame for this flaw but it makes a mockery of your suggestion he wasn't very good. There has to be a reason why a guy who dominated top cl*** opposition didn't look that good against lesser opponents and that was lack of preparation and respect for these guys. Prime Wlad wouldn't have been in that bracket and would have get Golota'd.

    Btw Mavrovic > momerck, Lepai and co.

    Great an excuse right off the top to explain those poor performances. No Lewis was very serious against Mercer and the bread man. He struggled greatly and they were able to match his skills.

    Fat Mercer outjabbed and outfought Lewis. He was robbed of a decision.

    The neverwas gave him hell.

    No Mormeck Wlad's weakest ever challenger is a greater win than Mavrovic. He was a world champion, Mavrovic was never a WC.

    How else do you explain it or do you think Mavrovic and Mercer were better than Ruddock, Golota and Holyfield?

    Get a grip.

    Mavrovic who fought Lewis > Mormeck that fought Wlad. Mormeck was overweight at a weight he was never comfortable at years after his prime. H2H the bread hustler easily takes that fight.

    I think not. If Lennox had taken a rematch with Big Bro Vitali, he himself would very likely had suffered a third career defeat.

    OT: Lennox is still above Wlad because of quality of opposition - but it's getting closer as Wlad has had 20 more wins now. If he gets near that defense record, he might arguably surp*** Lennox due to longevity and volume.

    Look what the Lewis jab did to Iron chinned Vitali.
    Imagine what it would do to gl*** jaw Wlad who was Bambi legged off a pitter patter pudding puff Pulev jab.
