Lewis vs. Klitschko

This fight has been discussed over and over. I do not want to bore you, there is just one certain point that came to my mind and I would like you to comment on my personal opinion. Thank you! :) Lennox Lewis talked about possible retirement after his victory over Mike Tyson. For him there was nothing left to prove. Then he agreed on fighting Klitschko on short notice. I expect Lewis already knew this was going to be his last fight, so he wanted to make a statement: bust Klitschko up as badly as it gets, then knock him out. Lewis did not target Vitali's chin early in the fight, did he? That uppercuts came later on as Vitali's face was damaged like I have never seen it before. Maybe Lewis did not want to win very early ...

Lewis again disrespected the fight game and all fight fans for showing-up in less-than-top shape and also looking disinterested. This is the version of Lewis that was ripped by Rahman and McCall, but Vitali just couldn't do the same (at least not inside six rounds). Contrary to this, the shitty version of Lewis actually busted-up Vitali's face pretty good and had the big man's legs looking absent in the sixth. As the "Next Big Thing" he really should have been able to destroy the version of Lewis that stood in front of him, full stop. We might be able to effectively argue that Vitali actually "retired" Lewis. But we can never say that he actually beat him, which he should have.

Humiliated? By YOU! LOL! I'd think you'd be used to it by now, it happens all the time. I especially like when you get so angry you type 500+ word posts.
