What if Wlad fought Lewis instead of Vitali the night of 2002

Lewis would have knocked him out in less than 2 rounds.

 

Probably this. Lennox told Corrie Sanders to jump on Wlad, and Sanders jumped the S H I T outta him.

I still love the original J Lo - Jennifer Love Hewitt.

 

You watch the Mercer fight from 02 and Wlad knocked Mercer down heavily in round 3 with his left hook. Mercer survives and goes on to take heavy punishment. Contrast to the Lewis fight and Mercer went life and death. Lewis fans will argue Mercer was past it but I don't see it that way, he was a mandatory and was in great shape coming off five straight quick ko's. If Wlad can knock down Mercer with one shot he can do Lewis also. Certainly his left hook is heavier than anything McCall or Rahman can muster.

 

Still isn't as bad a loss as Rahman or McCall. One shot blowouts.

 

Well the rematches weren't one shot blowouts now we're they?

 

Did I strike a nerve? Why didn't Wlad give the part time golfer part time boxer a rematch? Lennox pees in Wlad's butt and doesn't bother giving him a proper reach around.

 

well said :good

 

Or why didn't he fight Bowe, Holyfield or Tyson in their prime? Or Foreman, Alex Stewart, Ike Ibeabuchi, Byrd, Ruiz, Roy Jones, etc. the list goes on and on. Well, instead he beats Vitali and Mercer and beat the guys who beat Corrie Sanders. Fair enough?

Wlad is the more skillful, more accomplished brother and has a better resume.

But h2h, Vitali is the better of the two and would always be a 50-50- or close, with Lennox.

Wlad, especially the Wlad of 2002, would have been stopped sooner.

 

Hey, re-read my post. I edited it for a faster, smoother release. Edit: I forgot in my original edit to add Piet Crous.

I actually thought Mercer edged it. And if Lennox accuses Bowe of ducking him, than Lennox ducked both Byrd and Ruiz. Also, I was ****ed when Lennox retired instead of giving Vitali the rematch. But you saying he should've fought Sanders is out of line. And who is Maskajew? I'm sure you meant Oleg Maskaev, who Lennox destroys faster than Golota. Anyways, Maskajew is a tremendous nickname I could use for someone claiming the Jews are G-d's people!

I didn't like Lennox Lewis during my college years because I felt he would've lost to Bowe and a prime Tyson. But that steaming pile of mierda you posted leads me to believe you have your heart and soul invested in Klitturd'ville. I mean, that's how your loneliness gets you through the night. Things could all be thought spoken words. You're all right, doing fine. Things could all be worse. Your loneliness gets you, your loneliness gets you thought the night.

 

Vitali was tagging Lewis pretty well in the early rounds, and Wlad has a lot more power than Vitali, so things may not have been too peachy for Lewis. That said, Vitali can absorb punishment way better than Wlad, so there's some merit to the argument that Lewis might just blow out Wlad early.

TBH I have always seen Lewis/Wlad as an exciting battle between two glass cannons. Whoever lands big first, wins.

 

Lewis is no glass cannon. A prepared Lewis can take a good hit and then some. He'd lay Wlad out. As mentioned previously, he was the one who told Sanders to start aggressive. Wlad at that point was too raw and not defenesively oriented, if Lewis catches him it's good night Irene.

The uppercuts he hit Vitali with would put Wlad in a coma.
