Haha so you think Wlad could do to Lennox what he's done to the bums and hasbeens he's dominated? Lennox would walk him down, and beat him around in a manner that's reminiscent of Corrie Sanders. Wlad was too scared to engage a shot to ****, feather fisted blown up CW in Mormeck! Could you imagine how he'd react with Lennox Lewis walking him down? Lennox would KTFO Wlad with an uppercut on the inside. As for Wlad's power, remember he nailed David Haye with his best right crosses and couldn't even hurt him. Probably because David Haye, unlike the rest of Wlad's opposition isn't shot to ****, and was actually in decent condition. Wlad and Vitali really couldn't be any luckier to be around in this era, because they certainly wouldn't be dominating any decent era like this, in the 90's Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe, Lewis, Ruddock, Golota, Moorer, Foreman, Ibeabuchi, Tua, Byrd (and Ross Purrity) and more are capable of beating Wlad and Vitali. They'd be competitive, but never dominant, both are very beatable.
Drop to the floor like a real man. You guys **** on Wlad when he's 'holding on for dear life' but when Lennox is holding then it's always justified deal:deal
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0sFZWczB9c[/ame] There's a difference between Wlad's excessive clinching, holding and hugging. That fight against Mormeck was a ****ing disgrace, he should have been deducted points. Lewis copped a big shot, and held on. After that, Lennox proceeded to walk Vitali down and rip half his face off, constantly pressing the action, turning it into a street fight and walking through Vitali's shots. Wlad was scared to engage a shot to ****, feather fisted blown up CW
Lennox was holding a shot to **** Tyson like a ****ing octopus and leaned on him, he even got a point deducted for holding :deal Again, when Lennox does it on a fat and shot Tyson then it's "Okay, what else is he supposed to do". When Wlad does it on a shot to **** Mormeck then you quickly yell fire and it's an outrage. You need put aside your bias. Either 1. Wlad isn't half as bad as you claim when it comes to holding 2. Or Lennox clinched and hugged much worse than you admit Pick one.
Neither, Wlad is terrible with his holding and clinching, it's a disgrace. Lennox wasn't afraid to engage opponents and fight on the inside. You pick out one example, and I could take you through so many exciting Lennox Lewis fights, remember the blowouts of Grant, Ruddock and Golota? Now talk me through some exciting fights Wlad was in, where he actually engaged his opponents since the Sam Peter fight? You have understand that even at age 35, Tyson had genuine KO power in each hand, if you get careless Mike can knock you out with one shot. JMM is a feather fisted blown up CW, with no power, if he got inside like that against Lennox, he would have got an uppercut.
Vitali thinks that Lennox's mother didn't want the rematch to happen. (..If my memory serves me well.) And that would've been fair enough reason. Much better than 'I didn't want to beat Vitali again because he's a good guy'.
Wlad's holding is a disgrace and embarrassment, epescially when he does it against feather-fisted shot to pieces cruisers.:rofl
Imagine if Wlad octopussed a shot and fat Tyson and then TKO him late. Just hypothetically. Imagine the outrage "Waldo cheated against Tyson", "Oh he wouldn't have won if it wasn't for the hugging and leaning" etc. Curiously we *NEVER* hear any **** like that about Lennox after he did exactly the same **** vs Tyson.
No one denies that perfromance from Lewis was poor. He was over the hill and had one foot in the retirement home. Wlad does it, IN HIS PRIME, against over-matched shot to pieces cruiserweights who have absolutely zero power. Why? Because Wlad is scared to get hit and knows he has a Glass Jaw. He's even admitted he has a Glass Jaw.
Lennox was 36 years old vs. Tyson, Wlad 35 years old vs. Mormeck deal:deal Stop using these non-sense excuses. Just start using the same exact standards and criticizing fighters you like and those you dislike.
If V. Klit had any real punching power he would have koed Lewis. Lewis was in a competitive fight but still busted V. Klit up and had bleeding badly and hurting him. To be honest I though Ray Mercer gave Lewis a tougher fight.
It was a cut made by a glancing blow and made worst by head butting and his own cut man dragging a terry cloth towel over it . and that is a fact . :deal
