    He got a lucky draw with Golota who was pretty ordinary so it's not a great example.

    Um

    Wlad is 1-0 vs Rahman.
    Lewis is 1-1 vs Rahman.

    McCline was a top ten ranked guy.

    But it's a styles thing with Byrd. I think Lewis did not want to fight him or a Ruiz even though I'd pick him to beat both with some chance of an upset

    Complete joke thread.

    Lewis would beat all of them and his resume is also far better than Wlad´s

    David Tua , Evander Holyfield , Frank Bruno , Razor Ruddock , Tommy Morrison , Vitali Klitschko , Rahman

    even some way past his Prime Mike Tyson was a better opponent than bums like Francesco Pianeta ,
    Jean Marc Mormeck , Ruslan Chagaev , Alex Leapai

    Haye gets destroyed in 5 Rounds max.

    Lewis fought a much better version of Rahman though.

    He arguably lost both of those fights on points and certainly didn't really impress for me.

    Well from a p4p POV he impressed me massively just being competitive with them but if we're gonna talk about beating Lewis scraping past those two doesn't fill me with hope.

    He impressed against Vitali but I'm not sure that's enough to favour him.

    shame for you we are not picking the same details. I'm picking wlads BEST, you are picking Lewis worst.

    U just made wlad look even shytter than I did. Good effort, man.

    I still don't get this thread. Lewis' resume is better, but the people he lost to are less than some people on Wlad's resume. So I'm not sure how anyone can say he wouldn't lose at some point. Sure, if we're talking the best version of Lewis each time and in his prime, sure he wins all of them, only that isn't how the real world works. In the real world fighters get complacent and have mental lapses, Lewis was no exception to that, so he would lose

    I don't agree entirely with your premise, but let's say you're right and those are the matches for Lewis' losses; wouldn't that mean by proxy he'd lose to one or both of them as he did in real life?

    not really, since I said they were at the very least a match for the best of wlads opposition. I'd normally consider them better on any given day.

    Rhaman was erratic. Both older and younger. Lewis tended to have a big ego and underestimated both McCall and Rhaman, which is a reason why Lewis was stopped TWICE by one punch without sustaining much damage prior. The other reason was he did not have a reliable chin.

    That could happen ANY time. Make sense? Sanders, Brewster 2x, Ibragimov, Peter 2x, Povetkin, and company hit hard. There is NO WAY Lewis fights them all of Wlad's 68 opponents to age 41 as Wlad did and goes undefeated. NONE.

    Your, not Dino, but I'll tell you something. If your BS was electricity, you'd be a power plant.

    I would not pick any of Wlad's opponents over Lewis, but neither would I have picked McCall or Rahman over him, all things being equal.

    Lamon Brewster knocked Lewis out in sparring, so there might just be a Rahman in the group somewhere.

    My guess is that Lewis would not have gone unbeaten, but I honestly don't know who would have beaten him.

    He probably comes out of it better than Wlad though!

    Povetkin is 1-0 vs Rahman.

    Povetkin >> Lewis
