Wladimir or Lennox - Who ranks highest

[billeau2]

Let me quote Emmanuel Stewart... "Wlad has the best footwork and balance of any fighter i have ever worked with"...Stewart goes on to say.

Wlad is the most accurate, single punch knockout guy i have ever seen. A guy can be completely fine, not hurt, and Wladimir can put his lights out with one shot. .. Stewart claimed Wladimir had more talent than Lewis. but that Lewis accomplished more, had big fights and beat more good fighters.

in 2011 Stewart said, "Wladimir is the most powerful natural talent i have ever worked with, in terms of Jab. Wladimir is the best. after him i would put Lennox. Lewis was a more versatile fighter. But in terms of boxing arsenal, Wladimir is better."

Emmanuel Stewart was a Hall of Fame Trainer who worked with and transformed both Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko.. i think he knew what he was talking about!

Is that your objective, unbiased opinion?

All I know is what proves this era is by far the suckiest in history is heavyweight championship fights are no longer even televised for us..

not my opinion, it is Emmanuel Ste***** opinion.. my opinion would surprise you so i wont put it into print.

Wlad is just a limited, one dimensional poor mans Lennox Lewis.

How many losses would Wlad have fighting Lewis' resume? That would make a decent tread topic. I'd say at least half a dozen losses. He'd probably have a hell of a time even getting past Gary Mason.

Gary Mason.

Gary Mason.

I don't see where the humour is in that. Wlad has been knocked out multiple times by fighters who were worse than Mason later into his career. Mason was an awkward fighter, very tough and strong, very good chin and had a solid jab to go along with a ton of power. He was 35-0 w 32 KOs upon facing Lewis who was in his 15th pro fight. He gave Lewis a very good fight. Pre steward Lewis looked much better than than pre Steward Wlad. I would actually favour Mason to do a job on a 15 fight novice Wlad.

Mason was terrible. Don't let his record fool you.

Lewis by a longshot.

Mercer, IMO, would have a good chance to finish Vlad. He could weather some fire if he had to. Once he lands, it would be over, is how I feel about Vlad's prospects with good punchers who will not go away.

I will not say Tommy Morrison (another probable steroid beast) whips him for sure, but he would have a good chance of landing a big one first. Even fighters like Ruddock would have a fair shot. The atomic bull, who knows? Put him in a real war and I believe Vlad loses. He has lost anything resembling a war so far, and has managed to go on with his career by clinching and running from opponents heavy footed with the steroid muscle they think they need to beat him. I do not think much of the crop he has been surviving off.

Don't expect much from Tyson Fury, because he is not a serious challenger from what I have seen. He is all ballyhoo, and likely to soon go the way of bum David Haye. Vlad will thoroughly outclass the mouthy behemoth.

Wilder is still too much of a question mark, as is Joshua.
