Lennox revising history re Vitali rematch

[Bennyleonard99]

Nobody said Vits demanded a rematch with Byrd. That's the problem. You excuse this but think Lewis owed him ANYTHING after beating him and retiring. As far as Rahman goes...he avoided his number one contender. If Rahman was no threat than why not make the fight? More excuses but nuthuggers forthcoming I'm sure. Why did Vits feign injury to get out of a Rahman fight only to schedule a different fight after the Rahman fight fell thru? I told you you were in the deep end of the pool now, and youre drowning. You like to use a lot of conjecture but very little facts.

I think Vitali retired the first time because he his body had broken down, not to duck Hasim Rahman. What was so scary about Rahman for Vitali? Then Vitali regained his health and decided to comeback and challenge new champ Sam Peter, who probably was the more formidable challenge at that time, more so than Rahman. I remember the time and it never seemed Vitali was dodging Rahman. Vitali never dodged anyone. He fought Sanders at his most dangerous, with enormous pressure on him Vitali beat the hell out of Sanders who is outrageously underrated. Crazy power in that lightning bolt left hand, probably the most lethal left hand in boxing history. Sanders was far far better than the part time golfer the media made him out to be. That was an unbelievable win by Vitali and an awesome performance. Though nobody remembers it for what it was because the media labeled Sanders as a washed up part time golfer. Peak Sanders would have knocked old Ali into the third row. Peak Sanders would have KOed Frazier, Norton and many other champs.

Byrd was irrelevent had no titles, and Vitali had bigger fish to fry which he did in chasing after Lennox.

Byrd had the WBO title he took from Vits that Vits swore to to home town German fans he would get back.

I remember he tried to fight Tyson but Mike didn't want that smoke. He would have murdered Valuev Toney Golota and all the guys on your list. Roy did not demand to fight Vitali LOL he would have gotten killed. No one on your list called out Vitali. Toney did but he was shot and old and had no chance whatsoever.

Right, Byrd was just a Don King pawn at the time, used by King to control the IBF belt, like Ruiz was used by King to control the WBA belt. King knew both Byrd and Ruiz had no chance vs either Klitschko and kept them in house as long as he could.

Lewis selling the belt to King was a move which helped King, his former backstabber, and it hurt the Klitschkos quest of trying to win all four belts together.

I'd like some primary sourced quotes to back up your statements.I do Know Holyfield wanted to fight him.

Twenty one ranked men he did not fight,please don't tell me he ducked nobody,because I don't believe it.

What chance did Briggs,Sosnowski,Williams,and Charr have?

Don't expect anything anytime soon. These guys like to play fast and loose with the facts.......the one they're not making up of course.

Holyfield made no attempt to fight Vitali, he was shot by then anyway. This phony duck list is ridiculous. Not one of these boxers ever called Vitali out except for Toney who was a loon at that point and just doing it for media attention and self value. None of this list had any chance to beat Vitali. Valuev never ever talked about Vitali or Wladimir. I remember Wladimir was once asked about Valuev and he said he would have fun with him. Easy work.

[Bennyleonard99]

Please show any link of Holyfield challenging Vitali. He was shot by early 2000s anyway. Couldn't even beat Byrd or Ruiz who were both shielded from the Klitschkos by Don King.

Byrd had the WBO title he took from Vits that Vits swore to to home town German fans he would get back.

Wlad cleared him a few months after and Vitali was leading on the scorecards anyway, there was no unfinished business if it were not for a title, claiming otherwise is grasping for straws.
