Prime Lennox Lewis and present Vladmir Klitschko

Lewis would win.

He was good enough on the outside to cancel out Wlads usual advantage here, but more importantly he was much better on the inside and much better in a scrap. This would be the decisive factor.

The fight would likley start out boring, with both fighters playing chess at range, and Wlad might even get the better of this game. Eventualy however Lewis would step up the pressure and force Wlad to trade with him as he did against most fighters who were a match for him on the outside.

Once it turns into an Irish brawl, Lewis's offensive capability, inside game, and willingness to take punishment, would prove decisive.

 

To me a great heavyweight has to be able to do things inside and outside and Lewis could where Wlad could not. Lewis knew how to take the fight to guys and exploit their weaknesses. It took Lewis 6 rounds to render Vitali pretty much helpless on the inside, I think it takes less time with Wlad. Sure Wlad could land something big, but I doubt it. I see Lewis doing to Wlad what he did to Vitali, only with less resistance.

 

This pretty much sums it up perfectly.

 

Lewis told guys how to beat Wlad. He called Corrie Sanders a day before the fight and told him exactly what to do. I dont think he does any kind of boxing from the outside. He just takes it to Wlad from the opening bell like he did Vitali.

 

if i remember correctly,sanders didn't bring it to wlad,he was back-pedalling to the ropes,and caught wlad with a "lucky punch" and than went for a kill...he didn't star agressivelly and didn't press wlad from the beggining

 

Lennox was really good at destroying bigger men, Wlad is defensively better and has a better jab than anyone he's fought. The speed of the jab may see Wlad outbox Lennox early like the Bruno/Vitali fights but Lennox would be looking for the KO and would get it whenever he gets inside, it could be early, it may take as long as the mid rounds but you can bet it would come. Wlad would also be very uncomfortable whenever Lewis gets past his jab

 

The atmosphere would be electric to me. I think after feeling each other out in the first few rounds, Lewis finds that chin eventually. Lewis had a great outside game (I might venture to say that Wlad's is better) but he also knew how to mix it up on the inside, something that Wlad has yet to show he can handle.

 

Bum,

It's not an easy call, man....... NO!! After all, V.K. is now 40 and has never looked better in stopping Solis inside 1 rd......

Lewis of 1999 prolly gets the nod, but I wouldn't bet on it.... Style and size wise, V.K. is always gonna be a nightmare for Lewis........

The fight of 2003 is classic and it will be spoken of and reviewd by fans long after you and I depart this dimension...

MR.BILL

 

For the record, I rate Lewis #5 and V.K. at # 7 on my ATG top-10 list from 1887 to 2011...... Again, screw the overall resume.... I don't really care about that.... I like style, size, strength, power and the desire to hunt down some mutha'...

Head-2-Head, guys like "Lewis & V.K." are very scary dude's who can cause severe damage....
:hey:good:think

MR.BILL:hat

 

Lewis here........ Wlad cannot take Lewis' heat for 12 rds....... Wlad is game early on, but folds like a lawn chair around the 8th round...... LEWIS!

MR.BILL:bbb

 

Lewis all day. both the klits are extremely overrated

 

That is the truth.

Whenever Lewis faced a guy his own size he threw caution to the wind and beat the snot out of them.

 

Lewis was an aggressive devastating machine against other Superheavyweights.

Watch Lewis brutally stop Ruddock, Akinwande, Golota, Briggs, Grant & Vitali...
