Lets face it, it's easy for Vitali to call out boxers who are retired and will never box again, far easier than mixing it up with the current crop of heavyweights, some of who might beat him with his current injury problems. he's calling out lennox cos he's an attention whore who failed in his bid to become a politician just as he failed in his bid to beat lennox and become undisputed.
attention whore??? show me one article where VK is quoted to challenging lewis for them to both come out of retirement? VK has made no public challenge to lewis, since he retired.... this is nothing but rumors and gossip started by merhcant on last weekend fight....

Lewis has beaten every fighter he's ever faced (some by way of rematch). That distinction means more to him than anything including money. Vitali poses a real threat to that and that's why Lewis will never return or rematch.
Lewis isn't stupid. He knows he almost lost it when he fought Vitali.

He should thank the ref, Lou Moret, for stopping it when he did otherwise he would be blind in one eye right now. Lennox had found his range and would have tore his face to pieces.
Wlad looked great this past weekend, Manny is doing a great job with him, but lets not get too excited until we see him fight someone who can punch and who doesn't just stand in front of him at perfect range cos past performances leave a question mark.
If he is healthy enough to fight Lewis, why is he 'too injured' when it comes to Rahman? :rolleyes:
becuase rahman is an ordinary fighter who was beat up by a shot holyfield,,ruiz and maskeav. nothing to gain for him there while lewis is a great with a legacy and a win over vitali. thats enough motivation to come back. this isnt rocket science dude
So, is he injured or not? Why doesn't he rematch Byrd? Nothing to prove against him?
lol,,,are you serious? he was shutting byrd out until his shoulder went and wlad just destroyed him so what the hell would he gain in slaughtering byrd
lol Vitali still pissed about his 1st bout wid Lewis, when will Vitali give up offering Lewis a fight lol its getting old now, i can see Vitali in 20 years time still offering a 60 year old lewis a fight lol

why would VK be afraid of rahman or byrd and not lewis?? lewis is the greatest of the past era and VK wants to beat him... he gets alot more money and respect beating lewis than rahman or byrd... therefore thats alot more incentive to come out of retirement and fight nagging injuries... anyways, the last word from this weekend is that he's still bothered with the injury even after surgery...
If Vitali is so confident he can beat Lennox, surely he also believes he could beat most of the heavyweights out there, so why doesn't he???
Because he's smart, really. He's a marketing bonanza in Europe, whether he fights again or not. He looks good by calling-out Lennox who represents the only truly monstrous payday available. When Lennox left the fight scene, he took an era with him, now we've got shit. Vitali wants a true big guy with skills, other than his brother.
I read last year or maybe the year before that, Lenox Lewis was offered an obscene amount of money to come back and fight Vitali. And as you guys all know, he didn't come back them, and will likely not come back know.
After watching last saturday's destruction of Chris Byrd by the fists of Wlad Klitscho, I think that the future of the division lies in his hands. I could be wrong, though! :confused:
Lewis fight will generate MEGA $$$$
Plus he wants to redeem himself, he has nothing to prove against Rahman

Vitali is a right plonker for retiring. C'mon he cant have had more injuries than Calzaghe.
And i wish he would stop talking about fighting Lewis. Lewis will not come out of retirement. Vitali should never have retired. Did he not have much ambiton as far as leaving a legacy. I always thought he was a decent heavyweight. Doensnt really look good, but does the job.
