Does anyone disagree?
Chris Byrd- Vitali would never give up like that without a reason much less give up in the 10th round when you are way ahead on points. plus vitali could have knocked him out easily. look at who chris byrds next fight was with. wladimir :) i think its obvious what vitali did and he waited so long in the fight so everyone would know. he was basically giving chris byrd the belt so he could then give it to wlad in his next fight.
Lennox Lewis- if they hadn't stopped this fight it would have been the best match ever. Lewis had gave vitali everything he had and realized he wasnt going to be stopped and had the fight gone on i dont think vitali would have needed points (even though he was ahead). vitali looked like the terminator in this fight. lewis was happy the fight was stopped as he should have been because he wouldn't have beat vitali fair. and anyone who saw how mad vitali was and still thinks i am wrong about the byrd fight is an idiot. vital would not quit for any other reason. adn this fight proves it.
You can all talk about those two "losses" if you want. They are official by the rules. However, they are not on the same level of Lewis getting his chin turned 90° by Rahmans right hand and lying unconscious. Something that never has, or will happen to Vitali even in his old age.and now a Prophet too.........

vitali ws impressive against lewis, but dont forget that was a poorly conditioned lewis who took the fight on 2 weeks notice. that eye injury was very bad! and that uppercut lewis landed in the 6th was sick! how the hell did vitali take that!
They both took the fight on short notice. They both gassed early.
He won on points but lost by Technical Knock Out..........
..........you only win on points if fight goes the distance
and you definately lose if you are tkoed...........
The Byrd fight was questionable. Vitali quit in a fight he was dominating.
But the Lewis fight was a clear loss. Sure Vitali was ahead, but Lewis would have rip his eye if they fought one more round.
If you want to get technical, Lewis took the Vitali fight on short notice as a replacement for Kirk Johnson, who was a lot smaller and a totally different style than Vitali.
Lewis would have won a rematch. Byrd on the other would have got beat in a rematch like he should have the first time around.
But still 2 legit losses.
yes he did you're mad and jealous. lewis was a beaten man and was down on the cards. OWNED. :bottle:
I recall your posts used to be semi-decent. What happened?
no one has ever truly defeated vitali and even in 'technical defeat' he was the real winner in the eyes of everyone and most importantly in the eyes of posterity and historians who all know and agree he annihilated lennox lewis
No he didn't. Don't be ridiculous.
yes this is very accurate. Vitali is undefeated and has the highest heavyweight KO % of all time, he's a shoe in to top ATG heavyweight by default.

vitali was preparing to fight another guy and he pulled out 2 weeks and then they got him the lewis fight. lewis battered him so bad that the doctors made vitali retire
lewis TK0D vitali, get over it klit nut huggers
No the doctor stopped the fight, he didn't retire Vitaly, it was Vitaly who made Lewis retire. Lewis asked Vitaly to meet him and his mom and then after she looked into VItaly's eyes, her little boy retired - true story.

"Wlad Ownes" btw, Wlad doesn't own shhiit, he owns himself. lol
You own yourself with your stupid comments - Wlad has little b*tches like Gaye running from him plus another half dozen top rated fighters.
Why does it bother you so much that two Ukrainian brothers rule the HW division, the flagship division of boxing? It's ok man, let it go, hate destroys you first from within.
Some of the fun of watching a Klitschko victory is knowing that another hater just had a mini-heart attack afterwards. Keep hatin son, you'll die sooner.
