    Lewis turned 23 the week after the games and Wlad had just turned 20 in the March, not 21!

    I don't say Wlad would win here because Lewis was 3 years, or virtually three years, more experienced in the game. Big difference. But if you put in 23 y/o Wlad in against the amatuer 23 y/o Lewis I'd back Wlad because he'd had 27 pro fights by the time he was the same age.

    To call it a KO is a bit over the top, it was a ludicrous stoppage

    Lennox was probably a bit too experienced and mature, he also made it through a tougher field of fighters.

    No it isnt. olympian Lewis wouldnt beat pro champ version of either Klitchko for example.

    Also I have hard time believing that experience champion version of Lewis in 2003 is worse version than young Lewis who is making his pro debut
