Wladimir Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

Typical bias because you share one of his handful of nationalities.:-(

 

Ditto

 

That's a pathetic response. Either you've got nothing to say or you can't be bothered to type it. Lewis beat Ruddock, Golota, Vitali, Mason, a past his best but still pretty good Holyfield, Morrison, Mercer, Bruno and more. Who's Wlad ever beaten? Chris ****ing Byrd. Wlad wouldn't see the third round against Lewis and would be lucky to make the half way mark against most of the Lewis-opponents listed.

 

Their topic is actually Lewis vs a Wlad with McCall's chin. I have a feeling P might be joshing a bit.

 

While I too believe Lennox would ultimately win, how can we be so sure it lasts only one or two rounds?
Despite my criticisms of this heavyweight era, Wlad is a good fighter. Lennox simply can't afford to rush in there, trying to score a knockout. It may very well be he that gets knocked out, if he gets careless.

Lennox still needs to respect Wlad, and what he brings to the ring.

In addition, I believe Wlad has a better jab than Lewis had, and as has been noted in terms of straight punching doesn't give ground to Lewis either.
I've said it before, but I don't believe Lewis liked being jabbed. Bruno won the battle of the jabs in their fight, and the limited Mercer, who possessed a notably good jab, fought on level terms with Lewis for long stretches of their fight. Rahman landed some heavy jabs on him as well.

Wlad has a truly excellent jab, that I cannot fault him on. It would be interesting to see how Lewis copes with it.

But in the end, I cannot pick Wlad here. Lewis is tougher mentally and physically and handles pressure far better. He also has a better punch variety and has more poise.

I think a stoppage or knockout around round 7 or 8 is not unreasonable.

 

oh. didn't realise, haven't read the first page. appy polly logies. If Wlad gets McCalls chin I think it's only fair that Lewis gets Ray Mercer's bile duct

 

No problem. I was just trying to get janitor angry with that comment, but the man has not replied. Damn paleontologists. :-(

 

MR Pontius is not pontificating ,I suspect he is indulging in humour, which though rare is not unknown,he is something of a Wag.

 

guys

This threads sure taken an unexpected twist.

 

I'm not sure if i want to know what a Wag is.

 

Its not a certainty Lewis KOs Wlad in 1-2rounds BUT its a strong possibility. This isnt a massive insult to Wlad, if Rudduck/Golotta had retired pre-Lewis no one would believe in a fantasy match Lewis takes them out as quick as he does.

 

If Wlad had an iron chin he beats just about anyone. Unfortunately he has a china chin ... As far as any form of insinuations based on nationality, that is the last thing any of us need right now and should not be tolerated. I know once John Thomas thought I made a comment he found offensive and for the record I state here and now that was definetely not my intention and I apologize for any offense. There is more than enough fu-ked up sh-t going on today so let's try and enjoy the forum for the escapism that it is ...

 

If Super-Sanders had had Randy Macho Man Savage's beard and face, he'd have ko'd Vitali.
