Great comeback ***** when you knew you had nothing else to say after reading that espn article.

"I knew his condition was not good, he's very heavy. He couldn't fight hard,''

I knew his condition was not good. It was not easy, but I felt like I was winning."

""Lewis weighed 256½ pounds, the heaviest of his career, and he appeared soft in the middle. For one of the few times in the 6-foot-5 champion's career, he was punching up at an opponent."

Vitali himself admitted lewis was heavy and in bad condition.

Vitali is one of examples of wasted talents, he had it but never rose to the occasion, I'm not a hater I give credit when its due

Wladimir = Good
Vitali = Underachiever

20 million????

Yeah, show me those figures. I highly doubt that.

He knew Vitali would beat him. That's because Lewis was 36, overweight, undisciplined and his heart wasn't in the sport anymore.

He had nothing else to prove.

This was at a time when Wlad Klitschko just got battered by Sanders and Rahman was a champ.

he had Zero. Zlich. Nada. Nil to prove.

Oh, and Wlad SUCKS.

Yeah but right before Vitali made Lewis come to his senses Lewis and Steward tried to sue Mike Tyson and force him to rematch Lewis to make $20 plus million after he easily dominated Tyson. He wanted one more EASY payday before he retired but when he was met with his toughest challenge of his career he wanted no part of a rematch. He even played Vitali along for another year! Steward even commented on what a ****ty thing Lewis did to Vitali by not making a decision for a year. Lewis even made the excuse that he wanted check Vitali's eye to make sure it healed before he agreed to a rematch and after Lewis saw that it was healed up he then walked away. He wanted no part of a Vitali rematch, not even if it was for $100 million dollars even though before the fight he was talking about taking on Roy Jones for some money and picking on Mike again...

If the fight had been allowed to continue as Vitali wanted then Vitali would have finished looking like this:



Lennox was going to retire anyway. He didn't need the money. He's an exceptionally wealthy individual and he cleaned up the heavyweight division, something which Klitschko never managed. Rather than bitching about the fight he almost won he should have applied himself to cleaning up the division starting with Rahman.

Lewis got out of the game at the right time. He beat every opponent he ever faced and beat Vitali too so he had no reason to fight on he has more than enough money and his health too.

If the fight had gone on anymore, Vitali's eye would have been battered so bad, he would have been Ko'ed.
can any1 disagree with that?

only a fool would have let the fight carry on vitalis eye would have been ****ed. Vitali said he was caught by a luck punch and actually won the fight on a descion thats ****** audley harrison could have said he beat sprott because he was only caught by a lucky punch

[SkillspayBills]

Lewis lost motivation coming into the fight heavier than he has ever been and new he was past it. I can't blame him for KNOWING when to hang them up.

I'll tell you why...Lennox Lewis cowardly turned down over 20 million for a rematch because he is scared to death of Vitali Klitschko and he knew he would've gotten knocked out cold in the rematch. VITALI RETIRED LEWIS.

Because the Klits are bitches and there is no need to get paid that much money to whoop up on what could be considered a big woman.
