Lennox Lewis (of 1998) vs Wladimir Klitschko (of 2009)

Honestly? Lennox KO within 3 rounds, Lewis simply destroys super heavyweights.

Not one I'd want for Wlad.

 

Depends. Lewis #1 enemy was his ego. 50/50 type of match with those dates.

 

Lewis by KO, perhaps in the first round.

 

Lewis and it would not be remotely close. Think Golota or Grant. Wlad has no chin and Lennox would find it.

 

Hm, this is a tough one IMO. I think Wlad has the edge on the outside. He´s a bit faster, has a better jab and there is the right hand. And Lewis often has his lands to low. It may very well be that Wlad catches Lennox big time with the right and that was it. I don´t think this will happen but it very well may happen. On the other hand Lewis clearly has the edge on the inside. He is as good as holding and clinching but additionally to that, he actually can fight in there, especially his uppercuts.
Another thing is, we knoe Lewis can dig deep and fight if he has too. I think Wlad can too but he simply never has to and thus he never proved he can. I think this is the deciding factor. Early on Wlad will have the advantage, it will be a pretty usual Wlad fight, jabs and the occasional right hand and left hook and then clinching on the inside. However, after 2-3 rounds Lewis will make it a fight instead of a boxing match and Wlad can´t match him there. He will hang in for a few rounds but I expect a stoppage between round 6 and 8.

 

Lewis only ran into problems with his "ego" against heavily overmatched opponents.

Rest assured Lewis would respect Wladimir Klitschko as a threat and come out guns blazing.

No way is this even near 50/50.

 

The natural fighter wins this, Lennox abuses SHWs and usually took them out early, just look at the list Golota, Rudduck, Grant, Akiwande (held on for dear life at every opportunity), Bruno and even Vitali well past his prime. Wlad may well be better than the lot, but he isn't Willie Pep and he hasn't got the chin of his brother. Beating Sam Peter and Chagaev doesn't mean you can hold off Lennox Lewis. Wlad is a great HW, Lennox is greater

 

lewis would kill the wlad that fought last night

it wouldnt be close

 

Lewis's rough-house tactics would work well on Wladimir in my opinion. It wouldn't be pretty.

 

:good nice post

 

Lewis TKO3-5 somewhere. Wlad won't even win the event.

 

McCall and Rhaman had good right hands. Lewis and his ego underestimated them. Wlad is much better than either McCall or Rhaman.

Bruno had Lewis in trouble. Those who think this is an easy fight to call are full of it. It comes down to who lands their bombs first.

Wlad's defense and ability to control the tempo are under rated.

 

Lewis by KO.
