Lennox Lewis v Wladimir Klitschko

[El Kabong]

Why is it only Wlad can be KO'd in this? Lennox has been caught and counted out before too.

because ive seen lewis hit by some big shots and not even get wobbled. his chin wasnt great but it wasnt made of glass either. ive never once seen wlad get hit cleanly and not at least wobble a bit. whenever he even barely gets tagged you can see a look of worry on his face. wlad is competing with floyd patterson for worst chin for a HW champion.

Agreed, against Vitali Lennox knew he was losing and behind. He decided to take drastic action and just get direct and physical with him. To Vitali credit he took the punishment but his eye did not hold out. I do not think Wlad would take that type of assault and would eventually crumble.

Well Vitali had a sense of urgency as well due to the cut (and to the fact he was up on the cards and had hurt Lennox in the 2nd round) so the choice he made to make it a phone booth fight meshed with Lennox trying to connect more and stop Vitali....Wladimir cut or no cut would be unlikely to be a stationary target, the guy moves, cuts down the ring, circles, and if he doesn't feel properly set for an exchange he'll clinch and reset and as winded as Lewis was you have to wonder if more movement would have hindered his power and slowed him down to a point where Wlad could connect.

But all this is mere speculation
