So Lennox Lewis has got me thinking....

I understand you do not like the heavyweight division much at the present time but if you had to pick one of the four belt holders in the heavyweight division to call the real champ, who would it be.

If I HAD to? It would have to be Vitali, cause he has the real belt.

Realheavyhands, all Ali had was A one-two, if you can use it properly, that's all you need.

I have one major problem with Vitali, and it has nothing to do with actual talent. I have this scene that runs though my head automatically every time I hear his name, and I just cant get rid of it. Remember when he lost to Lewis? While everybody was still in the ring, etc. he kept throwing a fit cause they stopped the fight (like, his eyeball was about to fall out of his head!!) and Wlad entered the ring (to make matters worse) and they kept going over to Lewis' corner carrying on and on to the point where I tought they were gonna 'jump him' or something. It was crazy; like they blamed him for it getting stopped (technically it was his fault..that big right hand of his). It just made me sick, and as unfair as it is, no matter how long ago it happened I just cant get that scene out of my head!! And I KNOW they damn sure werent going over there to congradulate him

I understand your point, and Wlad should never have come into the ring, and it just goes to show you how sure someone can be that they will win, any of you see a beautiful mind, when the main character plays the smartass guy in whatever that game is they are playing? I respect your oppinion very much.

But Lewis should have given VK a rematch...

[chilly9876]

lewis was rocked a few times by klit,but lewis by far was landing the better punches,klit was landing MORE but lewis was landing the better meaningful shots,it was quantity vs quality. Klit needed over 50 stitches to repair the damage caused by lewis,had he wanted to win he should have gotten the **** out of the way of lewis's bombs.
Watch the fight again and take notice on who was landing the better shots and you'll see how Lewis cut vit up and won.

LENNOX LEWIS is backing Danny Williams to take on his mantle by beating Vitali Klitschko to become WBC champion in December.

The retirement earlier this year of former heavyweight champion Lewis left a large gap in the division and he believes Williams has the ability to capitalise by taking the title from Klitschko, who he knows well after knocking out the Ukrainian in June 2003.

The fight is scheduled for December 11. No venue has been officially announced.

"Danny has three ways to beat Vitali," said Lewis. "He can go after cuts around his eyes. I exposed him as a fighter who cuts up badly.

"He should also go to Vitali's body, where he is vulnerable. Also, if Danny keeps his cool he could outbox Klitschko and win a decision."

After those recent statements, it has got me thinking....What if Williams does beat vitali? Is that another stab in the heavyweight gut? I mean everyone recognizes vitali as the main champ and if williams beats klitschko will we hold him as the "real" champ? I know people will be all over his testicles after beating tyson and then vitali so people will ride his **** no doubting that one. Williams says he will fight vitali the same way he fought tyson, which has got me thinking aint noway williams is winning this fight w/ that style, in the tyson fight he left his head wide open and was out on his feet when tyson cold ****ed him but held on to a smaller tyson and vitali is 6 inches taller then williams so it wont be as easy to rest his arms on the giant......


What is everyones opinion? If williams wins who is our champ?

My pick is Byrd, Byrd has only been beating by very credible opponents and only been knocked out by the hardest hitting heavyweight since tyson in his prime and that was with a seperated rib......

Anyone?


*EDIT*


Best quote anyone could state at this point regarding lewis and klitschko and other fighters....

"Lennox Lewis gives advice to these fighters from retirement and then sends them to me," Klitschko said. "It didn't help Corrie Sanders. Let's see if it helps Danny Williams, but I doubt it."

If Ruiz beats Golota, I see him as the heavyweight champ. If Vitali beats Williams, I want to see a real contender go for the WBC belt next. And I don't mean Monte Barrett...

I have a thread on page one of the Non Stop Boxing where I express my disdain for Vitali being called the Recognized Champ.

[neils7147933]

What's the real belt? The WBC? Why? Lewis won the IBF And WBC titles and gave them both up. He gave up the IBF belt to avoid fighting Byrd and he gave up the WBC belt when he retired. Do you mean The Ring belt? That's a sportswriter title, though I suppose they're right most of the time.

Good thing is vitali says after his fight w/ williams if he wins, he is eyeing a shot at the winner of ruiz/golota...Which would be a damn good fight either way.....However eyeing and doing is totally 2 different things, especially with the politics of boxing.

Thank you. You dont often agree with me when it comes to Vitali, so that really means alot !
