Vitali - Johnson = Lewis - Akinwande

OK, so now that Vitali didn't look good against a Kevin Johnson who was purely in surivival mode, threads sprout up claiming Vitali would lose to Haye, Tua and just about anybody with a pulse.

Remember Lewis - Akinwande? If you would judge Lewis on that fight, equally silly comments could be made about him. Lewis was a monster when someone tried to KO him, like Ruddock or Grant. He was very good against boxers who really tried to outbox him, like Holyfield. He wasn't particularly great against fighters who just tried to survive. Likewise, Vitali doesn't have the style to chase an extremely defensive fighter and his height is a disadvantage when the other guy just wants to survive. Just as Wlad's height was a disadvantage against the extremely timid Ibragimov. I feel that Eddie Chambers would look better against Johnson or Ibragimov than the Klitschko brothers, which doesn't mean he would beat either brother.
