Lennox did something different on Saturday.

[El Kabong]

I didn't mind it and everyone knows how much of a fan I am of Wladimir. I really thought Lennox wanted Wladimir to show more than he did, I felt the same way.

I just want Wlad to get back to fighting in a more "guns a blazin" way like he used to....I don't mind him winning or how he wins but I would rather see the big time KO's of earlier in his career rather than the more cautious style he has now. I think he's at a point in his career where he should be compared to guys like Lennox and Lennox was 100% correct, he did better vs Rahman (the second time) than Wlad did vs a poorer version of Rahman.

Ive come around On Lewis quite a bit.Pretty cool,top champion with measured smugness.He also took quite a few swipes at Rahman and his weight.Something about having a 'fat' chance and rotund ?

As much as that would make it so much better for the viewers than the Wladimir Klitschko we have today, I'm just not convinced he can get over the KOs he's received previously, and just can't really let go of his hands for fear something big may come over the top when he lowers his guard. No doubt Wlad is one of the greatest all-time heavyweights, he's made himself impenetrable behind that guard, and no one can get close to him to beat him.

I think the problem for Wlad's legacy is always going to be that his brother is always going to be considered ever so slightly better.

I like what he does, he is still winning almost every fight by stoppage, and he is making it virtually impossible to hit him minus the Thompson fight.

I thought it was hypocritical of LL to criticize Wlad for using the same cautious, jab-happy style he used to dominate the HWs of the 90s. Wlad is the same as him, he's been caught and KO'd by lesser opponents and consequently takes very few risks. Watch LL's fight against a dangerous puncher like Tua, its the same as what Wlad does now.

Exactly, im sure against Akinwande that Lennox was dropped and held alot as well

Difference between Lennox and Wlads jabbing style is Lennox used his jab as a set up then he went out for an assult...Wlad is scared to take a shot at times........Lennox was far from boring...a man who fought and beat everyone there was in the HW division during the second greatest era of HWts and retired with a 73% KO ratio can not be that boring.....

Lennox could also take a hell of a punch and did not mind doing so if need be when engaging...

As for his fight against Tua Tua at the time was a murderous puncher...Lennox took massive shots from him...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSwfV-QFQSE

How does that resemble Wlad and the reaction he shows to punches coming at him?...and those are clips from the fight you mentioned.....

Tua was 37-1 with all but 3 of his 37 wins by KO...was Lewis supposed to stand in front of him and suck up punches to prove to you he could...

Lennox faced Vitaly, Tyson, Rahman, Briggs, Grant, McCall, Morrison, Ruddock...all dangerous punchers of their time....a man worried about dangerous punchers does not have half his resume of wins against them

I just don't think they are very similiar.Both huge and employ superb jabs but I think Lewis was a bit more sturdy/Tougher than Wlad,more diverse and pron to punch back in combination.....go for the KO.I don't see that instinct in Wlad.Both could stink it out at times with ugly bouts,Lewis vs.Tucker,Mavoric mainly but he stood up in some mutual battles as well...Mercer,Vitali,Holyfield 2,Briggs.Wlad had Williamson & Peter as gut checks,ugh.

damn,Im slow today
