Prime Lennox Lewis vs Prime Wladimir Klitschko

I wouldn't write Wlad off entirely, but I'm fairly confident that Lewis puts him to sleep more often than not.

Wlad has the better technique on the outside but Lewis has 3 inches of reach on him which is a lot when you consider that there's virtually no height difference.

Inside Lewis is significantly better, with one of the finest uppercuts in the division and he has a knack for utilizing dirty tricks in clinches too. They're about even as far as punching power is concerned but Lennox lets his power go far more often.

Plus I feel like he has a better chin.

 

Lewis took some absolute nukes from V.Klitchko. Really can't see Vladimir taking Lewis's best shots for too long. Also, if Lewis had even the slightest inclination that Vlad was being a little tentative he'd be all over him like a rash. Vlad only really throws the jab going backwards and I think Lewis would have him well timed for his shots in just a few rounds.

 

More people said Wlad. The only punch Lewis had over Wladimir was the uppercut.

You Argues horrible. But I don't think you are a troll anyways.

Simply no. Wlad's got all the tools to take care of Vitali, If Sanders could rock Vitali don't you think his brother Wladimr f****g Klitschko could finish him off?! Vitali would have to respect Wladimirs power - and instead get beaten by the jab by doing so.

 

Lewis early would catch Vlad cold with his right .feasted on tall upright robots like Vlad 2 or 3 rounds jobs a good un .

 

I say this thread makes 20 pages, and that somebody mentions TKO6 :deal

 

You just did.

Why would anyone mention that anyways?

 

frazier aint saying that about a failed fattie who couldn't cut it when prime.

frazier wouldn't consider sanders for a title show, because of sanders paucity. and that's prime sanders.!! not the shyte old one that instantly killed prime wlad in seconds.

 

Some people don't listen

 

not thru klitschko ears for sure. most people

 

Don't get me wrong, Wlad has the power to knockout any man in history if he lands the right shot.

But stylistically how can he possibly be favoured against Lewis? Wlad is quicker of hand but not of feet. Wlad has a better control of range but we aren't gonna see Lewis on the end of a jab all night, we're gonna see him jab his way inside and throw that uppercut (his only inside shot but atleast he has one unlike Wlad). No one in the right mind expects Wlad to survive the Lewis uppercut. No one. Not even Wlad's biggest fans.

 

Are you seriously suggesting Lewis' only shot is the " uppercut "?

If Lennox throws, and lands, that " over hand right " Vlad Klitchko goes to sleep for possibly an hour, or more. Ffs Corrie Sanders ( who was far more interested in golf, than boxing KHTFO ) and you are claiming Lewis couldn't, with a similar shot? Purlease. He would possibly kill him.atsch

 

Wlad has never been stopped with an overhand right. Unlike Lewis who was "one-shotted" twice by an overhand right. Over hand rights that are neither as strong or delivered as well as Wlad's. As for feet Wlad has way better movement as well. Steward said Wlad has the best balance of any heavy he has ever seen. I feel stylistically the match up favors Wlad. Everyone loves to knock Wlad for Sanders but taking on a dangerous southpaw is always tricky. How many southpaws did Lewis get in the ring with?

 

I'm not suggesting that.

Nor am I claiming that.

 

Dunno , might have to disagree on that.

Lewis kept Holyfield on the outside with jabs and uppercuts. Tua couldn't enter his wheelhouse all night long.
Morrison wasn't allowed enter either.

Statistics prove Wlad is locking guys up in a clinch more than he is keeping them on the outside.
Thats more time spent up close in contact with his opponent than it is at a distance from them.
I can't see any evidence of him controlling range to any degree of success , never mind controlling it better than Lewis.
