    Oh come on Herol, I favour Lewis myself but don't be a extreme idiot as usual suggesting Wladdy would have no chance. Wladdy would have a good chance, he was always tougher than you made him out as being.

    This would be a great fight.

    Vits and Lewis sure was and Vits was right in that fight until his face got ripped off.

    This.

    I just don't get fanboys that are so deluded that they truly believe that at the upper echelons of boxing ability, that it makes sense to confidently predict a blowout every time by an ATG over another ATG.

    I mean FFS Lewis barely beat Mercer and now he's beating Wlad like a bum? :rolleyes:

    This tendency is actually good in a way, because it shows you that minimal thought has gone into breaking down the matchup and instead, maximum fanboyism. It reveals the level of those posters.

    Yes, only biased fanboys would predict a beatdown by Lewis, this would be a 50-50 fight.

    Lennox Lewis struggled with Mercer and even with Briggs in the first rounds, also he got knocked out by McCall
    and Rahman.

    It's just ridiculous to favour Lewis based on Wladimir's losses against Purrity, Sanders and Brewster when Lewis had the same problems with the same level of opposition.

    Wlad Klitschko and Lennox Lewis are exactly on the same level, they even had the same trainer and a similar fighting style.

    Except Lennox beat some of the best HWs that have ever graced the earth, while Wladbot Drago, well the only guys he beat were bums, journeymen, plumbers and road sweepers. The likes of Tyson and Bowe were AFRAID to face Lennox Lewis, you think they would have been afraid to face Klitschko? Give me a break. They would have cleaned up in the Klitschko era.

    Lennox Lewis knocks him into next week blind folded.

    Except for that one of the floor sweepers Wlad knocked out, switched Lewis off like a birthday candle.

    It took three men to scrub all of Lennox's drool off that canvas.

    The only prime ATG heavyweight he has ever beaten is Vitali Klitschko and it was controversial.

    He beat past prime Holyfield and shot Mike Tyson who got knocked out by Danny Williams within 4 rounds 2 years later, those wins are not better than Wladimir's wins against Haye and Povetkin who were both in their absolute primes.

    If you go by names Lewis has the better resume but that doesn't tell the whole truth.

    Anyone that knows anything about boxing would favor Lewis here. Only fanboys pick Wlad or give him a 50% chance. Lewis simply operated on a whole different level of skill.

    How was the win over Klitschko controversial... look at his face, he looks like he has been dragged under a bus

    https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u...tent/uploads/2014/06/vitali-klitschko.jpg&f=1

    Imagine what would have happened if he'd fought another 6 rounds?

    Imagine what would have happened if Lennox was in shape?

    Also take a look back at the fight, the 6th round, Lennox catches Vitali with two massive uppercuts, the 2nd one right at the end of the round, then watch Klitschko, he doesn't know what day of the week it was, he can't even walk in a straight line back to his stool.

    He was LUCKY the fight was stopped. He was GONE! In fact it takes him an age to even realise the fight was stopped! :risas3:

    Then when he finally becomes lucid, he does that thing that boxers always do when they get beaten senseless, he starts protesting, with his face hanging off his head! Yep, you're not fooling anyone Vitali.

    Now imagine what Lennox does to his weaker brother Wladbot. It. does. not. bear. thinking. about!

    And Lennox crushed Tyson's spirit, he was never gonna be the same again after that beating, before that he'd only lost to Holyfield once, DQ'd the other time, and lost to Douglas. You lot just say he was shot to discredit Lennox. Excuses, excuses, excuses. That's all I ever hear!

    No , absolutely not.
    Lewis would never , ever have to desperately hold , grapple , maul , grope and back hump guys half his size in order to win.
    Wlad's make-up as a fighter was 80% illegal clinching. You take his clinching away and he's a feeble excuse of a HW as proven in Brewster I and Jennings fights.
    Put it this way - Peters , Chambers , Povetkin , Haye , Jennings wouldn't have lasted 6 rounds against Lewis . They all saw the 12th against Wlad.

    Against Tua , Lewis landed a total of 300 punches. Wlad landed a total of 200 against Sam Peter.
    Tua was a much better HW than Peter , he actually had head and upper body movement while Peter had none.
    Lewis knocks Peter out cold after two rounds.
