Lennox Lewis gets massively overrated. so does Wlad. just two really basic fighters who gets by with their gigantic stature.

I agree Vitali's a great fighter though. just for sheer awkwardness and durability. that's it. there are no outstanding "technical skills" to speak of this man. some fans need to watch more than the HW division which has always been mediocre.
Well you've just outed yourself as being completely ignorant about heavyweights.

If you don't like the heavyweights then why post in a thread about them?
alright. your Bowe collection no doubt consists of his two fights with Golota.

prime riddick bowe would've given a prime lennox lewis a boxing lesson.

Bowe didn't train under Futch without being taught advanced skills. Futch's said he saw in Bowe one of the greatest talents the HW division has ever seen. that's coming from the greatest boxing mind of all time. i'll take his word.
Bowe had chin issues , Lewis , or Tyson or any puncher would have beaten him.
He had wonderful skill for a big man , but chin problems , someone like Vitali would crush him prime for prime.IMO
