Wlad Klitschko would annihilate that useless Lummox Lewis bum

Emanuel Steward said that Vlad was the most naturally talented fighter he had ever trained. Vlad would beat Lewis, Hell, let's have that fight now, or Vitali Vs. Lewis..............

 

:rofl

 

nothing like a useless, hypothetical thread.

 

i somewhat agree, wlad would be the favorite and could possibly KO LL.. would LL be allowed a tuneup ? with a tuneup, meaning 2 training camps, LL's chances rise drastically.

I know you are talkin LL version 2014. cause LL when he was close to prime or prior to his prime would absolutely destroy wlad, imagine wlad taking some of the shots an old out of shape LL landed on vit. wlad would have been rolling around the mat, never mind the uppercuts LL landed in round 5 and 6 would had probably killed wlad

 

5 pages for this dribble?

Here's what Steward had to say about Lewis and Wlad from here: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/weblog/news.php?p=32961&more=1

"Lennox didn’t really pick up anything too much on Wladimir, but Wladimir picked up on that about Lennox. If they had ever fought, and Wladimir had never lost, and Lennox had fought him—it would have been a very, very intriguing fight I would say, because the best talent between the two, all the way around skill and coordination now that he’s learned got his footwork down, is still Wladimir. But still the best of the two, I would have to say was still at this stage unless Wladimir gets a chance to prove it, would have to have been Lennox here because Lennox did what he had to do. When he had to make adjustments he did them right there.

You can’t tell what would happen because Wladimir has such unbelievable one-punch punching power, unlike anybody I have ever trained. With most fighters you have to get someone hurt a little bit, stagger them, knock them down, and then they finish them. Wladimir could fight, and I saw him do that so much in the gym, even with 20 ounce gloves. Just out of nowhere where nobody has even been hurt, and just the lights go out and guys go to sleep. Just like Eddy Chambers with one grazing punch, Ray Austin, I mean he’s the most devastating one-punch fighter I’ve ever worked with, and you don’t even see his punches. So at no time are you safe with Wladimir. He may be boring sometimes, but anytime with ten, fifteen, five seconds left sometimes—he can knock someone out.

But sometimes he gets so comfortable controlling a fight with just his jab, and it ends up almost like a game. He just settles down and gets in a comfort zone, and it’s hard to get him out of that. Whereas Lennox is a little bit more explosive, he’s maybe not as super talented as Wladimir is, but he would do a variety of things. Sometimes that just meant going out and being really physical, and just losing all of your boxing talent and just go out there and just brawl and tear a guy up, and Lennox knew how to do it. So it would have been, to me having worked with both of them, a very interesting fight. I couldn’t even say exactly who would win. I can tell you the strong points of both fighters and that would be it.

We’d have to sit down and see what would happen, though. Lennox could come out, and being almost as big as Wladimir, could make it a very physical fight. Then Wladimir has a little bit better footwork with his in and out rhythm, and he has that unbelievable short and accurate one-punch punching power that could have gotten Lennox or anybody in trouble, at any point in the fight. It’s one of those fights that I as a fan would love to see myself.

It’s funny. I started training Wladimir after Lennox beat Vitali, I got a call and with Wladimir, I called him often then and still do today, I still call him “Lennox” a lot, and it’s an accident because of the verbal sound of Lennox and Wladimir, but also the fact they both remind me of each other, and the fact that both of them ask so many questions and they are so exactly detailed. They both like to play chess, which I do not like. Even with Lennox we look at him now as the last great exciting heavyweight, but back then people forget that Lennox was called being “too cautious” and “too boring” and all of that, much like Wladimir today. But they remind me so much of each other in terms of the details and their physical size."​

 

I think that's a fair summary of them both. In the classic forum there use to be a poster who sparred with them both, and he said pretty much the same thing. Wlad had more power than Lewis but Lewis could turn a boxing match into a fight if he had to and that would likely be the difference. That and his upper cut. I think the biggest difference is that Lewis would try and win at any cost and would risk getting KO'd in order to win, where as Wlad doesn't appear to have that win at all cost mentality.

Strangely enough that's pretty much the same assessment I have if Floyd were to face Duran. Duran has that kill or be killed attitude, which Floyd simply lacks.

 

a more interesting question would be what would wlad do after the inevitable loss - he cant get his brother to face lewis while he hides, because lewis would equally kill vits.
I would guess the outcome would be both bros retiring, waiting tilllewis then retired and then the bros coming out of retirement to win titles versus lesser fighters.

 

Who has Wlad faced, and look who knocked Wlad out.

 

Good post except for the Floyd asessment which I disagree with. While Duran did have a killed or be killed attitude, Floyd just outright refuses to lose.

 

No No Floyd doesnt refuse to lose he refuses to fight anyone with a legitimate shot at beating himatsch

 

Ive read the whole thread again & not one of you Klitschko fans offered an explanation of why Wlad didnt immediately challenge Lennox after Lennox had TKO'd & destroyed Vitali's face????
After all Vitali immediately challenged Wlad's conquerors to avenge his BRUDDER's loss.
No old Wlad pulled a dissappearing trick he wanted no part of Lennox. He knew Lennox would destroy him with ease
Lennox was the best HW champ since Ali & ranks in top 3 ATG heavyweight champions. My biggest regret is that Ike Ibeabuchi's career was halted when it was as there were talks of a Lennox-Ike fight in the future. Now that would have been a barn burner

 

Wlad didn't immediately challenge Lewis after Lewis beat Vitali because Wlad was picking himself up from being destroyed in less than two rounds by Sanders. His career was on the rocks and he was in no position to challenge Lewis at that time.

 

that's right Lewis is not even on the top 800 heavyweights hed get 1st round koed by the greatest of all time wlad and anybody who knows boxing even a little bit agrees with me i state facts and not opinions wlad GOAT doesnt matter that he got koed by E- level boxers vitali #2 GOAT even though that bum lewis ripped his f***ing face off their the greatestests of all the times FACTTTT

 

When a fighter challenges a Klitschko, he signs their contract, where there is a clause that states you must fight the other brother if you win.

In Vitali vs Lennox, Vitali was challenging the champion and had to sign Lennox's contract, so there was no clause. Also, like the previous poster mentioned, Wlad had just lost.
