Okay.........Take the 2003 Lewis forward to 2011 and have him fight Wladimir who beat Haye,then put the 2003 Vitali in the ring with the Haye who did n't really get a toe hold against Wladimir. What have you got ?
The Vitali of 2003 mops the floor with Haye.. As for the 2003 version of Lewis against a 2011 Wlad? Not really sure. Both would have been up there in age, and while I think Lewis was a better fighter in a prime for prime sense, I think Wlad aged better than Lennox did.. Lewis had problems with conditioning late in his career. He showed up to the Vitali fight weighing a career high 254 lbs or something around that range. I'm guessing Wlad outpoints THAT version of Lewis.
Vitali knocks out Haye. Wladimir knocks out Lewis. Lennox was out of shape, and though I favor him severely in his prime, you don't get away with that against a fleetfooted puncher like Wlad at his zenith.
