You cannot discredit Vitali's effort. He got cut badly and yes, he lost. But if it wasn't for the cuts, he was on his way of winning the fight.
if it weren't for all those clean punches he took he would have won the fight...
you sound like a bit like a khan fan

Originally posted by Halls of Fame View Postthat is so crazy. I don't know how old you are, but I can tell you I followed Lewis' career since the 90s and I can assure you he wasn't "faded" AT ALL when he fought Klitschko. And he wasn't out of shape either, he was preparing for a fight against another opponent. He just looked different than usual cause he was fighting such a tall opponent. Same with Vitali by the way-he also looked different cause he didn't have the size advantage in this fight.

The "Lewis was old and out of shape" line is a joke. He was all of 6 pounds over his normal fighting weight lol.
The same people who use this excuse will also discredit Wlad by saying he lost to a fat golfer named Corrie Sanders even though Sanders was in the best shape of his career going into the fight.
I think the reason Vitali gets more credit is that people believe Rahman was lucky and Vitali was not.

It was a 12 round fight, so this ^^^ is bullsh**.
If anything, Lewis would have stopped him late. He had Vitali clinging on for dear life in round 6.

There are no excuses to be made because Lewis still won the fight.
