        It would be churlish to deny it, but sometimes...

        ...the sweetest victory of all is to take your darts home after a single victorious set & assert for all time that (not for want of effort) a certain man never beat you

          They would not even give me the decision against the stinging Queen B! Or was that the Queen B drinking a stinger?

            Lewis had one insurmountable obstacle at the time.

            He was not a yank.

            Things are different now thank goodness, the savage racism and jingoism of the US boxing press has largely gone.

            At their very best.

            Pick em.
            Brings up a great point. Liston was always very grateful and respectful to caucasians that were kind to him. His boxing got started when a Catholic Priest went to bat for him after watching him fight in prison. There were other examples of this. Lewis never to my recollection complained despite the media treatment. Both men were somewhat stoic.

              Wasn't it Vitali? Ahh, maybe it was a conspiracy. After all when Lewis was knocked down.... Wait a minute Lewis never was knocked down... Or maybe Lewis was getting beat up so he stopped the fight? Oh wait, no... Ahhh! Lewis was losing badly, the last few rounds Vitalie was coming on, taking chances! Lewis was ready to go! D****! Actually Lewis was coming on and Vitalie looked ready to be seriously restructured into a Crumb Brothers cartoon "nurse."

              I am sure Queenie has his reasons. One day we might actually be privy to one of them.

                  When I watched the fight I thought Lewis looked old. I was wondering how he would do in the last couple of rounds, but then they stopped it.

                  I guess Lewis felt the same way.

                  He retired at the perfect time. On a win, with lots of money, and still articulate.

                  Typical Fandom: when an athlete does the right thing for himself he gets attacked for it.
