    Could Wlad handle the fading power, obviously the klitschkos against lewis would be completely unarmed of their superior height and reach and neither would be able to dominate lewis behind the jab like they do everyone else.

    It was one of those questions spoke in a pub a few days ago. Even a fading lewis managed to stop a prime vitali in the 5th controversial or not.

    Would Wlad stand a chance against the power
    Could vitali expose the weaknesses he managed to expose in his prime
    would haye stand a single chance of perhaps catching lewis with a rahman esque knockout punch

    ??
    Lennox would not comeback for 100 million...He has too much class for that....

    As for the Vitaly exposing him in his prime....Lewis was past his prime and knew it that is why he retired so he did not end up a sad champion trying to hold on for a glory moment he exited the sport with grace...Wish more fighters did that...

    As for the rest of it...If This was Lennox via 200-2003 all names mentioned askide from the Klitschkos would have been retired by the Lion
    2000-2003 was the back 9 for Lewis. His prime, IMHO, was from the second McCall fight to the Tua fight. It was after the Tua fight that he lost his focus a little. The Vitali fight let Lewis know that he was done. Lennox knew what he would have done to Vitali at this best. Lewis from 1996-2000 wins a comfortable UD over Vitali and KO's Wlad. Haye might have gotten killed.

    his reflexes had gone the night he thought vitali, but his power was still there hence the reason he landed huge shots so often and busted his face up. Vitali was a mess after 5rounds, id be surprised as hell if a prime lewis doesnt knock vitali on his arse early doors during his prime days.

    Such a shame lewis didnt come along 5-6 years later as the heavyweight division would be in a hell of a lot better state than the mess its in now. Saying that he would of had the same problem vitali currently has where however good he looks he isnt in with any live competition
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    Agreed he would have the same problem as the Klitschko brothers do now...Soo many bad opponents out there that no matter what they do they get little credit for...

    I have an idea!!!!!!

    How about the Brothers get some sort of Achievement title...They get a huge!!! Sum of money from all the sactioning bodies and promoters to retire.....

    At least if it is a bunch of slobs against each other it can be a bit more entertaining then the one sided Red headed step child beat downs these two administer bout after bout
