    It proved that Lewis actually throws punches unlike Wlad which was the point of the whole thread. People talk about Lewis being boring and yet they show a highlight of the Tua fight which is Lewis' most boring fight and yet he throws more punches then Wlad did against Ibragimov and it was against a much more dangerous opponent.

    PLEASE don't compare the great Lennox Lewis to Wlad

    Lennox was a tactician, but at the same time he knew when to pull the trigger. Wlad is so ****ing scared of getting hit, we might as well chop off his right arm

    He took more punches because he was fighting a higher Calibre of fighter than waldo.

    Evander Holyfield and Lennox Lewis has no comparision to yesterday night. Both fighters were deliberately on the attack and exchanged with good variety of punches. Both of them were intense and fully commited fighters, not just technically sound or strategically wise. The biggest fight Wladimir has been in was with Samuel Peter and because it was a eliminator, and even that fight was more entertaining due to Peter's willingness to come forward.

    This is boxing you have to get hit sometimes. Yeah Lewis got hit more times the Wlad did BUT Tua is so much better then Ibragimov and threw so many more punches and came foward the whole fight.

    That actually works out better for him because he wouldn't have a belt if the division was the same as in Lewis' time.

    The differnce is Lewis threw combinations and mixed it up. Wlad seems like he has never heard of an uppercut, i cant recall him ever throwing one, I found the Holyfield fights entertaining because at least a variety of punches were being thrown.

    Lewis Holy,

    Lewis did have some boring fights but his KO's over Ruddock and Michael Grant were exciting.
