Lennox would out muscle Wlad who does not have the toughness his brother has in the chin department. Wlad is too passive to engage and trouble Lennox like his brother did.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
The only thing about Wlad is that he didn't quit and he didn't let his mind make him quit. He is still in top physical condition. Unlike a Mike Tyson, who had all of the skills, but mind simply would not let him get back to the top and stay on top. Unlike Holyfield too, who for his last 15 fights was more headbutts and bluster than he was a winner like we knew him before Bowe 3.
But, Lennox too didn't give up. Lennox could have packed it all in after the McCall affair... and never turned back on boxing. But, he didn't. And it bode well for his entire career.
If I'd have my money, I'd say the old Lennox post Tommy Morrison KO's the younger Wlad and decisions the old Wlad.
Lennox was simply a cut above the average HW's. The only person with the skills and qualities to beat a good Lennox was Ali between Frazier 2 and Spinks 1 (and between Liston 2 and Frazier 1), a prime Holmes during his championship run (and even when he lost controversially to Spinks), and a hungry Tyson of the early to mid-80's- before the crack cocaine and whores.
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

The Heavyweights have generally always sucked. What tends to happen is in every era there is one or two dominant Heavyweights, and the rest suck.
But to be fair to our Brockton Blockbuster, he has picked one of two eras that the Heavyweights did not suck, the 1970s and 1990s were golden era of the division.
As well as Lennox, we had Evander and Riddick and the then 'Mighty Mike', still with (small) hints of his pomp. But also we had a very good 'next' tier: Foreman, Ruddock, Morrison, Mercer, Moorer, a cute old Holmes, McCall and Bruno all added something to the division.
