Whats with all the Vitali vs Lennox talk? Lennox TORCHED his ass

Lennox broke him down and he had to stop the fight

A fight is stopped if one of the fighters is becoming in danger. Be it from being knocked down, knocked out, or seriously damaged and becoming more damaged. Vitali was seriously damaged, and Lennox was damaging him more and more. So the fight was rightly stopped. Vitali failed in his task because he was not himself, safe. He was put in danger by Lennox's fists which he was supposed to be avoiding. So he failed. He might have wanted to carry on because he's a warrior and has a ridiculous chin. Hence that kind of outcome. Anyone wanting that fight to continue is brutal and not thinking of the sport in the right way. We've all seen what happens when fighters with less damage and cuts are allowed to continue taking shots, Margarito being one recent one (not that that fight was close mind).

This subject is really done to death I’ll sum it up Vitali Klitschko crowning achievement and what he will be remembered for in boxing long after he retires is giving Lennox Lewis a tough fight but losing via TKO. Lewis is widely regarded as a top 10/5 heavyweight of all time and rightly so. Today’s Heavyweight division is widely regarded as the worst in boxing history. Lewis will be remembered for being great, Vitali will be remembered for giving a great but ageing fighter a tough fight but falling short. This sums up the whole topic /thread

Vitali had some of the worst cuts i have ever seen in boxing. He had 2 separate cuts above his eye and one bellow, he was p*ssing blood all over the place. Seriously he looked like he could have died in there if he continued. How can people say this fight was a schooling from Vitali?

Agree that LL won quite easily.

Not this shiit again. Neither guy dominated or was dominated in that fight

or when ppl was saying lennox retired and ducking valuev. what a joke. he cant even get in the ring with the klitschkos

Why didn't Lennox Lewis beat Vitali's ass again then for the biggest pay-day in heavyweight history? You brits keep claiming it was so easy for Lennox to do. So why not do it again? lol Lennox made Millions in every fight why would he want to keep on fighting to his forties? And no brits were claiming it was easy yank.

imagine what a prime and in shape lennox would have done to klitschko. i mean look at the state of his face

im british, vitali schooled lennox lewis, lewis got his arse beat down into retirement. I never understand why people announce where they are from before giving there opinion as if it makes it infallible to me that is just ridiculous. I’m from the North Pole and I know Santa is real because I see him every day on my way to work.

Lennox won the fight fair, but he didn't torch Vitali's ass.

This is my favorite fight ever so I love how much talk this fight generates every single time.

Manny Steward tampered with the tape on Lewis' glove. The cuts were caused by the tape not by punches. Steward beat Vitali not Lennox. :rofl::rofl: who be coming up with this stuff?!? LMFAO

Fight was even, Lewis was taking control of the fight at the end, fight was only 6 rounds so the scorecards were irrelevant, Lewis was walking through everything Vitali had to offer, and that from a guy who supposedly had a glass chin. Lastly, Lewis cares more about legacy than money. If Lewis ducked Vitali then Vitali ducked Rahman.

LOL tape on a fighters glove? Lennox destroyed him. The referee is lucky he stopped the fight

vitali won that fight, lennox was pretty much booed out of the building, because he lost the fight and won the "boxing match" via technicality (blood interfering with vision), and nobody likes to watch that but really the fact that you had to make this thread 10 years later shows just how convinced anyone is that lewis "torched him" Hmmmmm, really? Let me check the history books real quick. (walks away from computer) (brushes dust off old book. opens it.) http://battellemedia.com/archives/old%20book%206.gif Oh, I see now. Lewis TKO6 Klitschko.

I had Lewis very comfortably ahead. Another couple of rounds and Lewis would have got a stoppage.
