Wladimir or Lennox - Who ranks highest

[The Old LefHook]

The ogre's rendition of a fairy dance has desperately lacked one thing for a long time--a ukulele to accompany it around the fire barrels of homeless camps.

Neither Klinko could set the boxing world ablaze. It was once speculated they would. Alas, we always want true greatness to rear its head and perform for us.

These days the public pays for gladitorial contests and gets a giant fairy dancing on tippy-toes.

He knows his own jaw is glass, so rather than learn basic skills such as a chin tuck, he grabs and holds and runs.

Like all uneducated boxers who rely on towering height as their primary defense, Vlad fights with his chin even higher in the air, trying to squeeze more out of elevation, the only thing he knows about defense, other than grabbing, running or holding his arms straight out to ward off an opponent.

Lewis KO'd Rahman when he held his arms straight out.

Many regard Vlad as a bigger talent than Vitali, who gave Lennox a world of trouble.

Who are those many? I certainly don't regard Wlad as being better than Vitali and most others don't either judging by any of the H2H polls. Vitali was far more versatile, far better ring general, better stamina, had a chin, and unlike Wlad he was a real fighter. Wlad only was able to be who he is today because Vitali retired with injuries for several years.

Go ask Ross Purrity, Corrie Sanders(with a ouija board) and Sam Peter who was better..

An overweight,shot under motivated Lewis destroyed the better Klitschko when the later was in his prime.

The softer, glass chinned younger brother wouldn't have been much for a Prime Lewis.

..............."Not sure where you see Lewis having better reaction time".....

ofcourse you don't, you don't know what your looking at! You know NOTHING!

Joe Louis's first big fight was against a more experienced fighter , he lost too! What you do after the fact is important once you experience failure.

Hence both Klitchos ,particularly Wlad on a decade streak,Louis didnt lose until he fought top tier guys in his own era only guys like you think Braddock and Gallento were skillful fighters to big Louis up and i include Walcott since everyone knows he beat Louis the first time ,these guys wouldn't be ranked today as title contenders .If i dont know anything why am i always correcting you?

Many posters I've come across, and many insiders of the sport too. Vladimir is clearly the finer boxer, technically speaking, courtesy of Emanuel Steward. Vladimir is an Olympic gold medalist too. He has the far more accomplished career.

H2H is a different discussion of course. But it seems the more clinical approach of Vladimir could make for a chess match with Lennox, actually it would be a totally different fight than Vitali-Lennox, come to think of it.

You are going on old fights when Wlad was not the Wlad now,and really only Sanders dominated him...as far as skills Wlad is the much technically better stronger puncher and footwork,does this mean he would be favored ?Well Vitali has stamina and chin on his side and slightly better defensively so its all who fights there fight ,but make no mistake Wlad is the more sound fighter,but that doesnt mean victory ,Wlad would present a more technical fight for Lewis and added power with speed and a better jab and if you can hit Lewis you can hurt Lewis ,i would like either Klitchkos chances against Lewis all 3 are dangerous .Whoever has Steward in all reality most likely wins .

Lennox is the only heavyweight capable of beating all other heavyweights past or present. He has the largest toolkit.

Wladimir can Box & Bomb
Vitali can Box & Brawl

Lennox can Box, Bomb & Brawl!

Only heavyweight who was elite in all 3 categories.

Vitali still has chin over Lewis ,Vitali would stand the best chance over a prime Tyson ,his 6'7 250 frame would cause major concern for the 5'11 Tyson ,for that reason i have Vitali over Lewis and thats only if you have a prime Tyson in a top 3 spot which i do ,i really cant see any boxer defeating him outsde Lewis or Klitchkos .I would say Tyson k.os Lewis as i referance when even Briggs knocked him around in round one ,i imagine Tyson wont have it as easy with a bigger better chin Vitali ,who will be harder to get the combos on he desperately would need.

Nah Wladimir loses 10 out of10 to Lennox.

-Lennox has the reach

-Lennox has the better variety of punches

-Lennox is actually the more proficient clincher as well and has even knocked guys out during the clinch lol.
