    I dunno about that. Can a man who was Ko'd twice by one punch have a better chin? Wlad got up plenty of times.

    The article also says Wlad admited to being a tad nervous, and Klitschko vs Klitschko has a small, but real chance of happening.

    That fight will never happen

    To be honest mate lewis was actualy knocked out once, and he was ktfo by rahman but that shot would of knocked out most people. Against ollie he was up and ready to continue, or have not even seen the fight ?

    Also what sets him apart is he beat both of them in rematches and lets be honest poor old rahman paid in spades for africa :good

    Man Im biggest Fan of Wlad but me too cannot stand those excuses for those 3 losses...:-( **** man, that is the thing bothers me about Wlad, IMO should take a Loss like a MAN.. But I quess Wlad has his Pride those losses **** him off so baaaad:roll:

    I really hate when his fans are making those excuses too and making rest Wlad Fans looking like complete Idiots. Im NOT one of them...
    He was basically knocked the **** out 3 times and that's it we just have to life with it. every REAL fan should admid it or you are not fan of boxing rather just Fan of man..

    Yes and Lennox is more complete boxer than Wlad I cannot deny it

    No, that Rahman punch would not have KOed most people. What we know is it KOed Lennox Lewis and Lennox Lewis only.

    And he looked like the town drunk stumbling around when the McCall fight was stopped.

    :patsch

    I agree Lewis was the better all around but as far as the chins go their chins are about the same if you ask me. Yes Wlad has been knocked down time and time again in his career but Lewis was knocked out cold if these two were to fight prime for prime it would probably be boring but Lewis would probably KO Wlad but be safe while fighting him

    That's obvious. Wlad's balance and footwork are MUCH better than Lewis'.

    Very good post, I agree.

    Also let's not forget Lewis was widely hated by many fans and not universally recognized up until 3-4 before the end of his career. Lewis won his first HW title in 1993 if I am not mistaken and the Holyfield fights were in 1999.

    If Wlad in 2009 is where Lewis was in 1999 then Wlad is pretty much right on track.

    Didn't Steward say Andy Lee was the most talented guy he ever worked with???

    Manny must think we're both blind and stupid. But we know he's just saying stuff to not bite the hand that feeds him.
    Lennox's footwork is better. We can see how Lennox was light on his feet, was able to bounce around and had a fluid rhythm. Klitschko has good footwork too, but it's more basic. He's heavier and slower on his feet than Lewis was. Klitschko has gotten and is getting better though.

    There is only one thing Wlad does better than Lewis... the left hook. Lewis never had much of one, and Wlad's is awesome.

    Lewis had a vicious uppercut too and Wlad doesn't have one or never punches it. Sad really.

    I would agree, Wlad in general is naturally a better athlete than lewis,
