This. Good post. The china chin bull**** rergarding Lennox is stupid. He actually had a good chin. Not great, but good nonetheless.
Its easy to imagine what lewis would do every one of wlads opponents and there fans say the same thing but when they get in there with him they lose. Just let it go its 2010 not 1990 he would lose atsch
Lewis's level of competition was superior to Wlads. He was the top of the tree in one of the divisions better eras. Wlad's made a career out of fighting guys who wouldn't even be fringe Top 10 contenders back in the 90's.
Oh I guess His mental breakdown had nothing at all to do with lennox or the fight ahead of him, he might not have destroyed him physically and maybe i should have worded it differently for mccall but he destroyed him mentally, dude starting weeping in the ring!
:deal Lewis would know all of Wlad's moves because they had the same trainer. Lewis also never panicked when he got hurt. An over the hill Lewis took Vitali's best shots, and even tho I think Wlad might be a bigger puncher than Vitali, I don't see him handling Lewis's power very good at all. Just like Lewis with Michael Grant, he said so himself "When I fight opponents bigger than me I become more aggressive." I don't think Lewis would waste time with Wlad and give him the opportunity to get into the fight where Wlad could pull off a decision. Lewis by ko or tko within 3-4 rounds.
How was lewis out of shape and over the hill he was only 37 and undisputed champ and vitaly was beating him to the punch every time with two weeks training. What about mosley isnt he even older like 39 when he faces your idol or doesnt his age matter?:nut
No, he wouldn't. Do you expect Lewis to just lay on the ropes like most WALD opponents and let WALDO jab away? Lewis would take the fight to WALD from the outset and he would be most likely caught early and dumped on his ass. WALDO has never been that good when he is under pressure and you better had believe that Lewis would turn the heat up early on. It would be a carbon copy of Lewis - Grant, but WALD probably wouldn't take as many chances as Grant did.
You can't put that on Lennox, though. That could have been for any of a dozen reasons, and it may well have happened regardless of who he faced. Automatically saying "Lennox was responsible for that" is grade-A ****-dom. It's called a correlation-causation fallacy.
You have to admit that in that particular fight Lennox was not the same lennox that for example fought, holyfield, grant, tua...he was slower, a bit out of shape, not making excuses but he was not in his prime and he still busted vitali's head open and took his best shots without going down, wlad would never take the uppercuts his brother took and remain standing, he was toppled by lesser fighters...
The both had two weeks notice. Lewis was on the verge of retirement and training for a bloated Johnson. VITLAY was training for a pretty good contender in Boswell. Just look at how sloppy Lewis was, he reminded me of the first Rahman fight. He was a career heavy and looked like his hunger had gone. Klitschko on the other hand was on the way up - and he lost.
