Lewis: I know I can beat Klitschko!
Wednesday, December 15 2004
Lennox says fight "stirred something inside me."
Current heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko may get his wish for a rematch with former champ Lennox Lewis after all. Like many former world champions who have been lured out of retirement by dreams of further ring glory, Lewis' resolve to stay out of the ring may have finally cracked. Lennox told reporters, "These kinds of fights do tempt me to think about coming back because when I see the weaknesses Vitali has, I know I can beat him. I felt like jumping in the ring and saying 'Danny, sit down mate, let me sort this out for you. Let me show you how it's done'. I'm nine months away from being fighting fit and watching the fight unfold last night stirred something inside me. It showed Klitschko's vulnerability."
lewis can not beat vitali and he knows it thats why he has not returned and may never as for vitali if i where him i would be trying to get my self a rematch with chris byrd to teach him a lesson after what he said
Actually I think Lewis has a good style for fighting Vitaly. Hes tall, has long reach, and a great jab and Vitaly doesnt like getting hit with a good jab. i'm pretty sure it would be a good fight though no matter who won.
chris byrd desperately wants to be down with fans. That's why he shows up at any event, will call out anybody - he just is limited in his mainstream appeal and how he can back it up.
He's on the Best Damn Sports Show one day, a Don King PPV doing color commentary another, he's always in the crowd at major fights at all weights...
Byrd's not scared of being hit - he's fought Golota, Ibeabuchi, Tua, both Klitschkos, so he'll keep talking.
And talking. And talking.
Well I just kind of cosidered him a good guy and now I am losing that respect for him! Without the respect I had for him, There is nothing left! :D
I know it is all part of the game but I was kind of supprised Byrd was talking shit like that!
