    No not yet but if he really does fight five more top 10 fighters and wins he will be high on the list.

    Yeah cuz beating a Glass Jaw joke like Fury will prove something? :patsch

    Wlad isnt even close to Lewis in the all time rankings, Lewis would have beaten him, Lewis resume is better and fought better fighters in a MUCH stronger era, Lewis H2H other heavyweights better. He wins, on everything.

    Not a good comparison.

    Agree. I have LL solidly above Wlad right now. It would take a lot for me to put him higher than Lennox. But if Wlad is still on top after this 5 fight contract, and then pushes on for two more successful defenses to set the consecutive defense record, I'll put him above LL at that point.

    Not even close. Lennox destroyed Vitali and a bevy of other champions, lots of high tier guys.

    Wlad isn't fit to carry Lennox jock strap:patsch
    After Lennox nearly took Vitali's face off TKO-6 When Lennox was barely 80% in shape & took the fight on a few days notice, where was Wlad?? He disappeared , Went into hiding :rofl
    When Wlad got his a$$ whupped, by a pro golfer part time boxer,
    Vitali jumped in & challenged him to get revenge for KO'ing his brother. Wlad wanted no part of Lennox EVER!!!!!!!!
    Is way past time that HRH knighted him She's say...
    ARISE SIR LENNOX KNIGHT OF THE REALM!!!!!!!!

    No.

    It'll be hard for Wlad to surpass Lewis. He does have great longevity, but Lewis was a better fighter and beat better opposition.

    Beating Fury is not elevating his legacy over Lennox ..That's just nonsense ..

    Beating Tyson Fury doesn't count for much.

    But I think Wlad and Lewis are already equal.
    If anything Wlad has moved in front based on superior longevity.

    I followed Lewis's whole career and can't understand where people get the idea that he beat amazing opposition.
    Apart from an over-the-hill Holyfield, there's not much to his resume.
    Mercer, Ruddock, Golota, Bruno, Tucker, McCall, Morrison, Botha, Rahman, Tua, Mason, Briggs ..... an average crop of contenders, slow plodding heavyweights.

    Not sure what's so special about Vitali either. Always looked oafish in comparison to Wlad.

    Wlad and Lewis about equal.

    Hr already is much higher. Lennox fought a bunch of bums in his career, ducking any skillful guys like Chris Byrd and Vlad.

    This.

    All these people in this thread saying that "Oh yeah if he wins his next 5 fights I'll have to put him above Lewis", wtf does that even mean exactly?

    Beating jokes like Fury and Wilder won't prove anything, you think Lewis couldn't have done exactly the same thing?

    Lewis was the better fighter AND beat the better opposition. Wlad doesn't even have a marquee win, just longevity and didn't avenge his KO losses which hurts his resume BADLY.

    No, but he will have a case if he clears out the young guns in the next 2-3 years.

    The only fighter wlad can't jump is Ali who just has too many "name" fighters for anyone to jump. Only one who comes close to his list is Lennox who probably beat more named fighters but doesn't have the upper tier quality Ali has.
