Agree - an apt comparison because they both box and are of similar size. Wlad is like a student of the science, whereas though we know Lewis also learned and improved, it's as if he were in that process discovering what lay inside him as a native sense of what boxing is about. Wladimir does it by the book; Lewis does it more from within, and with a grace and style Klitschko will never achieve.

I think Klitschko could have been more aggressive, but he was being very cautious, needing this win more than wanting to put on a bonecrusher display. He did a superb job of controlling the fight. Amazing work with the jab. Maybe as he gains some confidence he'll also feel more comfortable taking the fight to his opponent in future bouts. But if not, and if he continues to win in this manner, can't take anything away from him on that account.
