    Lennox Lewis is one of the greatest HW's, I agree. As far as resume is concerned, Wlad is clearly behind quite a few fighters he would probably beat H2H. My argument is strictly about H2H, not accomplishment. Both Lewis and Wlad had their weak showings and in both cases, these could be used to dismiss them. Sure, if Wlad gasses like he did against Purrity, Lewis takes him out. If Lewis fights like he did against Rahman in the first fight, Wlad won't need five rounds to KO him. But when we talk about Lewis and Wlad on their best night, why would this not be an exciting and competitive fight? Why would Wlad on his best night not be a tough opponent for anyone? Do you think it is easy, just because a fighter has a greater resume, for anyone to get by this long, accurate jab or to take his straight right or left hook?

    H2H , still this is a definit Lewis win though , i understand the concept of h2h! I respect Wlad , but Lewis wins this , Wlad's best asset is the jab probably , and Lewis could outjab him , Lewis would also be able to turn on the heat and he would stop him and win this

    Wlad is good but how long will it take for someone to expose his chin again?

    I ask the same question from time to time to myself, history will repeat itself. I think Wlad glass chin will be exposed again when he fights someone with a good chin and power, who also happens to be aggresive. If you really look at Wlads last 5 fights, he fought very weak competition, non powerful competition, Bryd, below average power, Brock, average power, Austin, shouldnt even of been in the ring with Wlad, Brewster, shell of his former self. The last time I was impressed with Wlad was when he beat Sam Peter in sept. of 05, since then he fought washed up fighters like Bryd and Brewster, and practical nobodies in Austin and Brock.

    I feel this Iggy fight will be his toughest test since Peter, it's too bad Sultan doesn't have any of the attributes needed to beat Wlad IMO, I guess we could only hope for Iggy to land that one big punch on Wlads glass chin, thats really his only chance in this one.

    Brewster, Brock and Byrd are good wins in todays heavyweight division, Peter doesn`t have a single win that is as good as any of those guys.

    And don`t say Toney, he didn`t do anything at HW.

    Toney beat Holyfield, Ruiz, and Guinn, I would say there pretty decent wins. Brock is slightly above average Heavyweight that just got beat by another slightly above average Heavyweight in Chambers, Bryd very washed up by April of 06 when Wlad fought him, and Brewster was coming off 15 months of inactivity and looked like a shell of his former self. Wlad is just the one eyed leader, leading the blind in this weak Heavyweight division.

    Ruiz would have been a nice win if Toney wouldn´t have been busted for steroids, Holyfield is Toney`s only significant win at HW.

    Fair enough, Toney was top Heavyweight when Peter beat him. I just cant wait until Peter destroys Maskaev and is WBC Heavyweight champ of the world.:good
