    There is a possibility of wlad catching Lewis and dropping him in the early rounds but the sensible pick is obviously the reverse. Lewis was better than Wlad by several degrees. The only advantages Wlad has are an inch or so in height and a fraction of handspeed. Lewis is superior in practically every way. Wlad is not his brother, he has neither the chin nor the balls. Vitali met Lewis in the centre of th ring and had the mental and physical strength as well as the awkwardness to get the better of it initially. Under the same circumstances not only would Wlad freeze but he does not have the unorthodoxy of style to which Lewis required time to make adjustments. Lewis reputation is that of a clinical jab machine but he was very capable in a rough fight when it was appropriate to be. Wlad is not. Lewis jumps on him, early stoppage.

    If they fought around that time, then yes.

    The Wlad of today however is much more cautious, and would give Lennox a much tougher fight.

    Interesting. I say Wlad is a jab-right hand fighter in essence. You?

    Given that Lewis has a better jab and right hand, it has the look of disaster to me.

    Lewis has a better everything, it'd be Golota all over again.

    I was never a big fan of Lennox Lewis, but he would have pissed all over Wladimir Klitschko.

    Wladimir has the better jab, Lewis the harder right hand.

    The right hand power is debatable. Let's just say they both have a sledgehammer right hand.

    While what you're saying is bull**** it still wouldn't have mattered had they actually fought each other. A big, timid fighter who can't handle incoming = Lewis counting his money inside of 2 rounds :yep
