Peak W Klitchko vs peak Lewis

[spacetime]

Both have weak chins. Wlad has a harder right hand but Lewis is no slouch himself. Both like to dictate with their jab.

Who would you put your money on?

It's a tough one for me. Wlad is technically the better boxer IMO

Both are trained by Steward, so we will have to clone him for this hypotethical.

My prediction: a boring range finder match with occasional sparks.

Wlad, the superior boxer of the two, wins on points. Has the capacity to stop Lewis with one shot too.

 

[GrantSorenson]

Lewis via Michael grant style KO

 

[spacetime]

I was thinking about this, who is the strongest boxer Wlad ever faced? Is there anyone he beat even close to Lewis credentials or ability?

Didn't Klitchko reign over a weak era? Do We even know how he would do against a boxer of that caliber?

 

[PUO3]

Wlad boring UD.

 

[Philtard]

Wlad boring UD.

You reckon?

I dunno. Both have peak jabs I think in his prime Lewis knocks out wlad cold.

I dunno if I'd call wlad a superior boxer either. Lewis was technically great. He was called the pugilist specialist for a reason.

And Wlad wasn't???

Compared to Lewis? Wlad is an excellent boxer. But I still think Lennox is the better. In an era that was far superior.

I'm just shooting the shit anyways. But yea I think peak Lennox gives him all sorts of problems. I think wlads era doesn't help his case.

Ya.

Lewis was decent inside but Wlad is too good at tying up. Both have that piston jab.

For all the people who love to talk about Wlad getting stopped, Lewis was too. Against far lesser fighters and lesser punchers than Wlad is.

They match up fairly evenly tbh. Ill take Wlads jab and tie ups to take the nod.

The era of fighting washed up greats. The rest of which is equal to what Wlad fought imo.

Both lost to "guys they shouldn't have", but Vitali beat up Wlad's conquerers and Lewis beat Vitali up, I think his "dog" inside him makes him the better of the 2.

Lewis went down twice in his entire career. Wlad went down more than that against Corrie Sanders. Please don’t jump on the Lennox has a weak chin bandwagon. It simply isn’t the case.

If you think Lennox had a weak chin you need a brand new adjective from wlad, and another for David price. Just because people say things like that on a forum doesn’t mean it’s true.

Lewis was losing. He cut Vitali up.

If that doesnt get stopped on cuts Vitali finishes him.

You think Oliver Mcall was a vicious one punch KO artist?

 

[HardasNAILZ]

Wlad boring UD.

Easy work too

 

[Gregolian]

Wlad via being Wlad. He's better I think at stopping the inside game of guys in the tie up and shit.

I'm also a fan of the Klitschko brothers though so I may be biased.

I watched that fight again recently. The last time I saw it, it was probably live. My original thought of that fight was it was squeaky bum time for Lewis and I was glad that stoppage happened so he'd win. But rewatching it recently without hype tells me a different story. The tides were starting to turn in that fight.

I wouldnt say that. Itd be competitive/close imo.

Ya, Vitali was that terminator type. Doesnt discredit the win its legitimacy. It was fair play.
