Re: if lewis would of fought wlad instead of vitali who would of won ??
Lennox would have destroyed Wlad in 6 rounds. Vitali is the better fighter of the 2 brothers, and wasn't scared to get hit like Wlad seemingly is sometimes. I like Wlad, no doubt, but I do question his intestinal fortitude on occasion.
Re: if lewis would of fought wlad instead of vitali who would of won ??
I reckon Lewis would have won as I have never really seen Wlad have to dig deep. That includes the Peter fight.
As for Lewis v Vitali when any kids I have look up the result they will see fact Lewis won by TKO in 6 against Vitali. It is only opinion that Lewis or Vitali would have won. It always makes me laugh when people debate this.
Get over it already, Lewis won by TKO in 6. End of
Re: if lewis would of fought wlad instead of vitali who would of won ??
Vitali has a much better chin than his younger brother.
Lennox would have knocked Wladimir spark out. Fight wouldn't have been close even when Lennox was 38.

The Lewis Vitali fought though was older and slower and Wvlad would have done better than his bro by boxing more , getting involved less and use his left hand from a distance . Inevitably Lennox would have caught up with him and those shots he began landing on Vitali would have dropped and stopped Wvlad . Igave Vitali 1 more round beofre getting stopped legitimatley by Lewis if it wasnt for the cuts . Id give Wvlad even less considering his stamina and chin problems
Lewis in 5
No way was Vitali wilting in that fight...Lewis would of been the one going down...He didnt have the stamina to continue...Lewis knew he couldnt beat Vitali..Why do you think he refused the rematch and retired
He refused it cause he was gettin too old to be fighting and didnt want to end up damaged goods. Look at it like this: a past-his-prime Lennox Lewis went in there with a prime Vitali Klitschko on a fight he took on 2 weeks notice (he had been supposedly training for kirk johnson and taking it very lightly from the fatty spare tire he carried into the ring). What fight were you watching? Yeah VK gave him some trouble for four or five rounds but if anyone was gettin KOed it was Vitali. At the end of the round right before it was stopped Lewis was landing punches almost at will. The uppercut he hit Klitschko with that round was ridiculous...I thought his head was gonna come right off! I give VK props for having a good chin but there aint no way he was takin more of that shit especially since he couldnt see cuz his face was gettin turned into hamburger. That shot would not have just KOed Wladimir, it probably would have ended his career and maybe his life. Lennox Lewis would have mangled both of them in his prime and did a pretty fair job of mangling VK's face when he had the chance. I really wanted to see him fight VK again too, but he DID stop him and if Lewis felt he had nothing more to prove then he had nothing more to prove. He knew he couldnt beat Vitali? Dude, he DID beat him! He made his face look like Arnold's in T2!
Completely agree.
Vitali couldn't beat an out of shape, overweight(highest in his career), 38 years old Lennox Lewis who already had one foot in retirement.
If Vitali couldn't beat that version of Lennox it's a certainty that he wouldn't beat anyother version of Lennox.

Good call Rob, although Vitali always have chance of KO punch but LL wud beat Vit or Wad 99 out 100
Re: if lewis would of fought wlad instead of vitali who would of won ??
Lennox by KO in 1. As many have stated, Vitaly is by far the superior of the two brothers.

Wouldn't have happened, I don't think. I think Wlad would have won simply because Lennox was fat for this fight and Vitali was coming on when the fight had to be stopped. Lennox was getting tired and if he fought Wlad in that shape he would have gassed and Klitschko would have pulled the trigger on him.
Guess you must have missed the final round when Lennox landed that uppercut and started punching Vitali all over the ring. Vitali was out on his feet holding on for dear life had it gone another round it was bye bye Vitali.
Oh you mean when Lewis came on after the HYOOGE gash in Vitali's eye? The 1 in 10,000 injury that stoked Lewis to tune it up because he was running on E and needed to do something to that cut to get the fight stopped. You mean that last round?

I agree...Lennox was not in condition that night...it was obvious...It is also the reson Vitaly did so well...Lewis was tired by round 3...he over looked Vitaly.....The fight would have pretty much gone the same if it was Wlad in there except maybe Lewis went for the kill early on and got Wlad out quickly....The again who knows Wlad has a tremendous punch on him....
An in shape Lewis takes Wlad out inside of 2
I completely agree. But it seems some gloss over the fact that Lewis was not in shape for this fight. Lewis suffered from the same disease as Tyson, coming down with a case of the lazies when an opponent was supposedly less than stellar.
Re: if lewis would of fought wlad instead of vitali who would of won ??
This maybe harsh but he will not stand a chance. Lewis by KO. Just take a look at the Klits brothers you can tell who is the better boxer. And the better one can't do big damage to the lazy version of Lennox. There is something in Vitalys character that Wlad doesn't have. The killer instinct. On the build up of the Lennox fight, its hard to pick who will win. Most boxing aficionados knows that Vitaly has a chance. And i don't see that on Wlad case (even todays version of him). Since this is ifs and buts we will never know how he would fare.
Re: if lewis would of fought wlad instead of vitali who would of won ??
Lewis wins by KO inside 2 rounds.

Oh without a doubt I agree with you on the fdact Lennox at times would get lazy if he thought an opponent was going to be a pushover...EG the first Rahman fight and the first McCall fight.....
Though when Lennox Lewis came in shape and was looking to wreak havok or show his superiority he was as good as they come....Whats more is if you talked trash about Lennox he made sure he gave you a sound beating...Ask Frank Bruno, Rahman after winning the first bout, Oliver McCall, Mike Tyson....

I think many people are judging this "what-if" fight using an in-shape Lewis. I'm going by the one who stepped in with Vitali Klitschko. Wlad back then threw hammers non-stop until he ran out of gas and the injury Vitali sustained would be highly unlikely to happen to Wlad considering how it happened at all. I'm not saying Wlad would win, but I don't see it as cut-and-dry as everyone else.
Re: if lewis would of fought wlad instead of vitali who would of won ??
Lewis by early and clean KO.
Re: if lewis would of fought wlad instead of vitali who would of won ??
I just can't see Wlads chin holding up against Lewis' power.
im thinking the jab of Lewis would stun Wlad a little, and that spells trouble.
Re: if lewis would of fought wlad instead of vitali who would of won ??
Lewis woulda won. Wlad woulda got KTFO!!!
