I have always been a huge Vladimir Klitschko fan, but I do not think he would have survived against Lewis. Lewis was simply too athletic, too fluid, and too powerful for Vlad. It would be a good fight as long as it lasted, but eventually Lewis would land a knockout blow and Vlad would take the count. I think Lewis's sweeping uppercuts and hooks would be make the difference between these two guys. Both are equal in terms of their straight punching (jabs and straight rights), but Vlad doesn't throw many curved punches, such as uppercuts and hooks. Lewis threw curved punches with lightning speed and deadly power. Essentially, Lewis would have too many punching angles for Vlad.
With the exception of punching power, Lewis had every single advantage over Klitschko and then some. In fact i don't even compare Wlad to the great heavyweights, because when the heavyweight division was at least a little good, he was being knocked out. Cory Sanders? Lamon Brewster? Better yet, Ross Purity? Lewis by KO, it would strongly resemble the Michael Grant fight.
Wlad may be more mobile and fluid than his brother but he appears timid at times Lewis would first intimidate and then ko him imo.
Hard to call. Both hit hard enought to Ko and both have suspect chin ..Wladimir is faster and harder puncher than his older brother..
Both are comparable in handspeed, power, athleticism, technique and size. The big difference here is chin and fighting instinct, where Lewis has a big and essential edge. Lewis fought several wars (Mason, Mercer, Grant, Vitali Klitschko) and always came out on top. Unless Wladimir lands something really big, i'd go with the British Canuck of Jamaican descent.
Oh Lewis easily. His chin is nowhere near as bad as people make out. Infact I would go as far as to say it's pretty good. Wlad's is very, very average.
