He's bigger then Lewis, almost the same reach. Lewis will get tested. The only thing Vitali doesn't have on his side is experience, and you have to question the guy and his will to win. He quit against Byrd because of a shoulder. After he was winning the fight easily.

This will be good. Lewis is finally stepping up to a bigger (not that there are alot of them) fighter. Who's fast, and has proven he can punch. Lewis is known for his jaw, or lack thereof, and Klitschko doesn't have to get inside to hit him. That could present itself as a problem.

Lewis never fought ANY big name heavywheight, other then Tyson and Holyfield, twice, and both fighters were on the decline of they're careers. He got knocked out by Oliver McCall (LOL, biggest joke in boxing, other then Grant) and Rahman. both with right hands, both big counter punchers. Just like Klitschko. It will be intresting. Personally, I can't wait to see Jones and Holyfield, then Lewis and Jones go at it. Although, if Lewis, by sheer luck loses this fight, I think he retires.

Gotta give the edge to Lewis though. He looked in awsome shape, he's got the experience, and he wants 1 last mega fight before he retires. He won't get it if he loses. I want him to win, so we can see a Lennox Lewis and Roy Jones fight.

Lennox wins. TKO in the 8th.

What I found appauling, some people actully consider Lewis to be one of the best of all time. How terrible is that, look at his fight history, it's pathetic. He woulden't even fight Chris Byrd, and he had to give the title to him. 30 years ago, in the glory days, they fought anyone, and everyone. Pretty sad to think this guy is going to go down as one of the greatest ever. Pretty sad IMO.
