Why did Lewis turn down over 20 million dollars for a rematch with Vitali Klitschko??

[Kobe Bryant]

Uh he ripped his face off. Plus Lewis was done. He retired right at his peak.

TS, I know you are a smart guy. How can you put Vitali down after the heart he showed in that fight? If my face looked like that, I would be running to the doctor, not wanting to fight on.

If he has such heart whey did he pull out of a bout wth his mandatory 4 times and a bout with Mcline?

He had to pull out because he was injured you moron...Vitali's injury troubles come from his years in kickboxing and his transition from kickboxing to boxing. He wasn't scared of Rahman and McCline, lol, he would easily KO those 2 guys. Nobody should ever question Vitali's heart, he showed amazing heart against Lewis and he was kicking his ass with 1 ****ing eye.

Just admit it, Lewis is scared of Vitali Klitschko and he retired to avoid getting KO'd in the rematch.

Tell me how your fights with Rahman and Mcline went? Oh, that's right you never stepped into the ring once son.

The guy said he had such heart through fighting through a horrible eye injury so why didn't Vitali have the heart to go and fight Rahman or McCline "injured" regradless? Why would he pull out of a bout 4 times? If he kept getting injured shouldn't he have called it a day. But once rahman loses he's "ok" again, but then gets "injured" again.

If he easily could have done it, couldn't he have done it injured? And like I said, Vitali was ahead 2 points. With his eye that bad, Lewis could have gone after it even more to cause it to worsen or for him to go ahead on points. It was only a matter of time.

Tell me how your fights with Rahman and Mcline went? Oh, that's right you never stepped into the ring once son.

So that makes two people who never fought these two. Me and Vitali.

Vitali Retired Lewis

To this day, Lewis is still scared of Vitali....Vitali deserved an immmediate rematch after embarrasing Lewis with one eye and clearly winning the fight on the scorecards at the time of the controversial stoppage.

Lewis said he would give Vitali a rematch if he beat Kirk Johnson....Vitali easily destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds....What does Lewis do....He retires to avoid getting KO'd by Vitali in a rematch.

[-Antonio-]

Lewis was out of shape and still messed Vitali up. He'd only be better.

[MELLY-MEL...]

wish they would have fought again, but lennox got out at a great time. he was on top of the game, was a great champ, became an atg, and bowed out gracefully without ruining his legacy or himself! i can't fault the guy for that.

[Crazylegs77]

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.

Maybe Lewis has plenty of money and has other priorities in his life right now? Vitali should move on with his life, looks to me like he just wants to unretire and have 1 huge money fight.

[ferocity]

I don't know and im sure it wasn't because he is afraid of Vitaly. Lewis wasn't in the greatest shape and he was on his way to ko Vitaly. In shape Lewis would have demolished Vitaly.
