Prime wlad prime lenox lewis...who wins?

lewis even in his prime often has some trouble , against mccall, rahman, holyfield rematch, mercer, bruno... I'd pick lewis to beat wlad but knowing lewis performance kind of hit and miss I'm not surprise if he somehow lose. But it would be 70:30 for him

 

If McCall and Rahman can do to Lewis what they did to him, it'd not be unreasonable to give the MUCH more powerful and skill, as well as bigger, Wlad Klitschko a decent chance to nail Lewis, as well.

It'd be a great fight, and to even debate the matchup is a great service to Wlad, as I consider Lewis to be one of the all time greats, bar none.

 

Lewis KO

End of story

 

Id favor Lewis but u never know. Everybody talks **** about Sanders. He was called the "Sniper' by Lennox for a reason. They also shared the same promoter. Just because Sanders did it doesn't mean Lewis can. Totally diff styles. Lewis wasn't as fast as Sanders. If he was to knock Waldo out it would b in later rounds if at all.

 

Agreed, but Wlad could not have took the shots that his brother did!!

And, of course, Lewis was way past "Prime" when he fought Vitali!

Lewis is a terrible H2H match-up for Wlad and imo a "Prime" and focused Lewis tkos any version of Wlad within 5 rounds.

 

A "Prime" and focused Lewis possessed more than sufficient power to scramble Wlad's senses, but I do concede the point that "Safety first" Wlad could lose via late round TKO or UD.

However, I just feel that Lewis would be fully aware of Wlad's vulnerability and would formulate a strategy that would ensure a TKO victory within 5 rounds.

 

A well thought and articulate post (Just what I expect to read from Kirk).

I agree with it on several points (Particularly the obvious stylistic differences between Lewis and Saunders and the Wlad/Grant non-comparison) but despite this I do believe the fact that Lewis was a far superior boxer than Brewster or Saunders cannot be ignored. Lest we forget, a "Focused" Lewis was a master tactician (Not that Wlad is a slouch)and it is obvious that Wlad's vulnerability would play a part in Lewis' strategy.

Imo this fight ends in three ways:

"Safety first" Wlad utilises his current strategy and loses a clear (Though in no way humiliating) UD. Or Lennox catches him "Late" and forces the TKO. Or!!

Wlad fights with far less caution!! Now, this could prove his best hope of pulling off what many would consider a "Shock" win, but I personally believe that such a strategy would only ensure that Lennox triumphs by TKO in 5.

No dis on Wlad (Who is an excellent fighter and who is arguably "Prime" now!!) but he has just "Fought" one of the greatest heavyweights of all-time who is also a H2H nightmare for any heavyweight who ever lived!

 

:good Wlad has earned the right to climb into the "Fantasy ring" with Lennox and he is worthy of such praise imo.

Quote:

Klitschko, the holder of the WBC belt, also revealed yesterday the key player in the failure to set up a rematch with Lennox Lewis.

"Lennox invited me to London to talk – just me and him," he said. "When I arrived he was there and so was his mum. As we were talking his mum was scanning me up and down. A couple of hours later I got a call from him. No fight. It was his mum's decision."

 

Lennox by anihilation :hi:

 

Excellent point. Lewis went the rounds with guys like Mavrovich. Sometimes it felt like if Lewis was falling asleep in the ring. I would say Wlad boxing at 100% of his ability has a 30% chance of winning against a prime Lewis.

 

I think that Prime Lewis beats Prime Wladimir badly. Wladimir despite being great fighter isnt as tough as his older brother who would have some chance against Prime Lewis.
