Team Ward dare Joe Calzaghe to come out of retirement

[ICB]

Is that Wladimir Klitschko fights like Lennox Lewis and has the same attributes but isn't quite as Lennox Lewis

Wlad fights nothing like him u lemon. And no you're right he's not quite 'as lennox'....Wlad is a far better athlete!

he destroyed Chris Byrd twice with ease which is exactly what Lennox Lewis would of done end of.

U keep telling yourself that....So u are saying because wlad beat him, lewis would have! U are suggesting lewis would at least match what wlad has done?

Even though wlad toyed with rahman (used him as a sparring partner almost, just to get some rounds under his belt! and then finished him with mere clipping shots lol...) Beat up mercer and jackson with consumate ease!! Lewis had a torrid time with mercer, went 1-1 with rahman and lumbered to a horrible 8th round TKO over jackson! Try comparing what lewis and byrd did to holy, jackson and tua rather than what wlad has done to byrd....

If u don't rate my opinion then go ask manny steward his thoughts on klitschko and byrd!

Anyway il let it go, it is after all a ward calzaghe thread. Just thought id make my point.

Don't call me a lemon trying to make me look like, i haven't got a clue about this topic. I've seen pretty much all of Lennow Lewis's fights and pretty much most of Wladimir Klitschko important fights. So i think my opinion is just as valid as yours.

So you think Lennox Lewis fights nothing like Wladimir Klitschko ? don't they both rely on the jab and right hands ? aren't they both near enough the same weight and size ? Lennox Lewis was a good athlete for his size especially in the early 90's when he was 220+ pounds. And alot of fans often compare W.Klitschko to Lennox Lewis BTW.

So you really think Mercer and Rahman were as dangerous when they fought Wladimir Klitschko ? don't make me laugh.

You say facts but not whole facts, the fact is Lennox Lewis fought a prime Ray Mercer in 1996 just after Ray Mercer gave Evander Holyfield a tough night. Wladimir Klitschko fought Ray Mercer 6 years after and by that time, Ray Mercer was 41 years old and shot after being in so many tough battles.

Wladimir Klitschko also fought Hasim Rahman 7 years after Lennox Lewis fought him, and people at the time were calling it a joke fight. Because Hasim Rahman was no longer significant in the Heavyweight division, and was clearly not the same fighter who fought Lennox Lewis.

I don't know why you rate Chris Byrd so highly, he got a handful of gift decisions during his title reign. Many people thought he lost to Oquendo and Golota, he also scrapped by an average Jameel McCline, and lets not forget the most boring Heavyweight title fight in history vs Williamson.

Chris Byrd was basically the Jimmy Young of his era as someone else said here, although i think Jimmy Young was a better fighter. But there are some comparison's, regarding being skilled small Heavyweights with not much pop.

I did enjoy some of Chris Byrd's fights, and he did have a good performance vs Tua. Which i give him credit for, but i really fail to see how Chris Byrd could ever be competitive with Lennox Lewis.

Despite you disagreeing with me regarding Klitschko/Lewis comparison. I think Lennox Lewis would use the same tactics, keep him at bay with that telephone pole left jab. And occassionally use the right hand to hurt Chris Byrd.

Lennox Lewis was also a very big puncher, there's no way Chris Byrd slapping and pot shotting style. Would compare to Lennox Lewis cannonball punches, i think Lennox Lewis would have him out of there before the 12 round distance.
