Who was better, Lewis or Wlad?

[El Kabong]

Better how specifically?

Both were all-time great champions.


I think that if they had fought during their careers it's probable that Lewis would win although not a certainty and a Prime vs Prime could be seen as a toss up.


Lennox is probably the tougher of the two, Wlad probably the more cagey of the two. Lennox probably a better improviser in the ring and Wlad probably better at sticking to a game plan.

Lewis

Lewis and it’s not really close

A shot Lewis stopped the bigger tougher brother in a close fight..which retired Lewis.

Lewis is better than Wlad because he had more spite to him.

[J_Undisputed]

Lewis was a tactician whose power benefited from his size. Wlad was an athlete whose patience and style benefited from his discipline.

I'd go with Lewis. He knew when to walk a guy around the block a few times and when it just easier to blitz them. His discipline waned sometimes and he came in bloated but he's beaten a wider variety of fighters. Some were more flash than cash (grant) and some were shells of their former selves (tyson) but he had the holyfields, the mccalls, the mercers, the golotas, and Vitali etc. Just cant say the same for Wlad

[Master]

Lewis was a seasoned world champion who could dig deep and take the fight by the horns if he had to.

Both great fighters, yes they were great including Wlad. You do not be a champion for that long but Lewis fought better fighters and would have forced the fight against a vulnerable Wlad. No way could Wlad tie up Lewis.

Lennox would have detonated that uppercut he used against his brother but Wlad would be knocked out cold.

Yeah, LENGTH OF REIGN as champion is something yall might want to look into. Wlad is the 2nd longest reigning, defending heavyweight champion in the HISTORY of the heavyweight division.

Yall also need to look at the opposition..

Tip my hat to Wlad for a long run but Fury ended it with a boxing lesson.
