why do people use the Lewis fight to insult Vitali Klitschko?

Vitali was ahead on the scorecards at the end of the fight, and it looked to me like the cut over the eye was caused by an intentional head butt from Lewis in the second round. So Vitali should have won the fight. You seriously need to rewatch the fight...That cut was caused by a punch not a head butt!

Lewis had been preparing for a fight for months, althought it was supposed to be Johnson. Vitali had not been preparing for a fight. Yes he had, He was fighting on the undercard.

did lewis or did he not turn vitali's face into a hamburger? /thread

danny williams traumatized vitali into never ever stepping in the ring again. nah that was Rahman during their pre-fight star down.

Lewis took the fight on few days notice as well, he was trainin for Kirk not Vitali

The fight proved alot for both fighters, not sure how someone can use it to insult either guy. Lewis at the time was regarded as soft and chinny yet he survived a mauling from a huge puncher without folding. Vitali was looked at as a joke with no heart yet he took Lewis' best punches and fought on with bad cuts and internal injuries. Can't say I wasn't upset when Lewis retired without a rematch. As a fan of either fighter or boxing in general you can only feel cheated.

danny williams traumatized vitali into never ever stepping in the ring again. hehehe wha gwan Tuaman u cool bro? Yeh man VK is scared to give Danny a rematch cuz of what went down the first time...

Because you guys keep bitching about Vitali scared Lewis into retirement blah blah blah. danny williams traumatized vitali into never ever stepping in the ring again.

the man took the fight on a few days notice, against one of the best heavyweights of all time, why do people use the fight to insult Vitali? people should be crediting him for taking the fight and being a warrior in the ring and a gentleman outside, it just doesnt seem fair, does it? Because you guys keep bitching about Vitali scared Lewis into retirement blah blah blah.

That's it exactly...guys like Wlad Blows would have you believe that Klitoris actually won the fight. don't you know vitali totally dominated lennox? it was a bad stoppage even though his eyeball was hanging over his upper lip......

because he keeps on bleating on about it. Also, his resume is so weak, his reputation is built on that defeat. That's it exactly...guys like Wlad Blows would have you believe that Klitoris actually won the fight.

the man took the fight on a few days notice, against one of the best heavyweights of all time, why do people use the fight to insult Vitali? people should be crediting him for taking the fight and being a warrior in the ring and a gentleman outside, it just doesnt seem fair, does it? both took the fight on short notice. both were scheduled to fight on the same night. Lewis in the main event and Vitali in an undercard fight. They were both EQUALLY prepared for each other. Lewis was 38 years old and although Vitali was winning the fight, Lewis was doing the damage and was probably gonna end up with the victory as he was coming on strong and vitali was wearing out quicker than Lewis even though he had the age advantage.

i dont call him a bitch or anything but he did duck a rematch, there was 25+ million for that fight and he didnt want it, he was planning to retire for years before that fight. so what? he won by tko. he was what 38? if lennox was ducking vitali then vitali has been ducking danny williams.

the man took the fight on a few days notice, against one of the best heavyweights of all time, why do people use the fight to insult Vitali? people should be crediting him for taking the fight and being a warrior in the ring and a gentleman outside, it just doesnt seem fair, does it? you and i both know that it wasn't a few days. you and i also both know that he was already scheduled to fight on the undercard and was training for weeks to fight that night. the fight happened because kirk got injured. if vitali wasn't prepared for lennox then lennox wasn't prepared for vitali either. in fact lennox was the one that looked out of shape. he weighed the most ever for that fight i believe. as far as using the fight to insult vitali , it shouldn't. lennox is top 10 atg at heavy maybe top 5. a loss to him doesn't hurt.

Hard to criticize him for that. He was busted up bad and still gave Lennnox all he could handle. It just sucks for him his definin moment was a fight he lost. That fight got him more shine than the KO's over sanders or Williams.

All i wanted to say is it is NOT ok to beat up old people. no one in history was ever considered truly great beating up old people and if you are 37 and an accomplished fighter you DON'T HAVE TO go around taking rematches, that would be like the story of that guy who won 10 millions in Vegas but had to comeback and ended up naked. The same way Lewis didn't have to fight Vitali, Vitali doesn't have to fight the overweight rabbit punching bum...

because he keeps on bleating on about it. Also, his resume is so weak, his reputation is built on that defeat.

When people bring up vitali to try and discredit Lennox lewis, They both took then fight on short notice but you cannot try to discredit lewis by saying he ran away and retired instead of rematching Vitali. Well, I don't know why it would discredit him, but it is the simple truth. Lewis probably would've had at least 1 more fight/payday had Klitchko not been around, but because he didn't want to be accused of ducking Klitchko, he didn't fight at all, and instead just waited around to see if Klitchko were going to lose...when he didn't, he finally retired so there would be a title fight. But again...I don't blame him for not wanting to fight Klitchko again. He was 39 years old, tired of training, had plenty of money, and no need to take that risk. Nothing at all chickenshit about that, just smart.

Vitali was good i prefer him to Wlad, but Lewis didn't have much time to prepare for Vitali either and the stoppage was correct. Lewis had nothing else to prove after that and it was obvious he was out of shape and getting old so what's the point in taking a rematch to a hungrier younger fighter and getting beaten up when he already has loads of money.
