    But, Len was done, finished, kaput. He stumbled to his corner and fell on the ropes. So awarding him the fight seemed unfair.

    But both guys landed huge punches.


    Len's ego took about two or three years to settle from that.


    And Len never gave his opponents enough credit. Rahman flattened him with an excellent display. I don't want to hear this "Lewis wasn't focused" bull**** in the case of either Rahman ort Klit
    Lennox beat both of them and lost once to Rahman so whether someone says he was focused or not doesn't matter because he won. For people to make an excuse saying he wasn't focused, would have to apply if the fighter lost, but in this case Lennox won both fights, he was an excellent fighter so everyone should give him the resepct he deserves, he is also my favourite Heavyweight Champion of all time because of his confidence he had going in to each fight. He cut him badly and the referee was doing his job by saving Klitshko from any more damage that was to be done by Lennox. Your point is he didn't give Klitstko credit, and maybe he should've but thats just they way he sees it. He probobly feels that he doesn't need to thank anyone for his wins, and its true.

      But shouldnt Klitschko be commended for that effort?

        As I have stated, he should've done that to show respect to his opponent, but he felt that people weren't giving him the respect of winning the fight, so if he were to tell Klitshko that he fought a good fight and good effort for trying, then people wouldn't believe he truly won

          Lennox wasnt winning the fight though, and people were letting him know that and he got mad and didnt give Klitschko any credit because he was embarrased of his performance, that was a rotten move.

            Seriously Lennox's lack of credit irked my nerves. He gave you a TOUGH fight and was ahead before the fight was stopped so give him his just do.

                This goes back to the whole "look who you're talking about" thing I'm always referring to. I mean Jesus man.............Lennox is a Prima Donna.

                Just like a Floyd Mayweather or Joel Casamayor. They will never give anyone except themselves credit for anything done in the ring.

                  I realize that, but did anyone see Klitshko's eye, it was cut open as if someone sliced up his eye with a knife. The referee can't be the one to let something like that happen and Klitshko's corner obviously couldn't do anything to stop it. If it were to go on and something were to happen, then who would get blamed? Not Lennox. It would be the ref, so why would the ref take any chances. The only part which I didn't like about the fight was that there wasn't a rematch and that'ss the only blame I put on Lennox because Klitshko desperatly wanted one and didn't get his chance at the HW belt. But even with that, Lennox had nothing more to prove so he retired. Vitali faught a goo fight and even rocked Lennox at some points but he couldn't do enough to block the punch that came from Lennox that opened up his eye.

                    Lennox was getting his ass kicked, and he was mad that Vitali embarrased him. Even if he cut open Vitalis eye and made it lok like vitali's eye was falling out of its socket. Vitali still was beating the **** out lennox and was winning on points

                      How do you know that if the fight went on, Lennox wouldn't rally back and get TKO or UD. You don't cause it never happened, the point is the fight was stopped, just like any other fight gets stopped when someone has a bad cut, its how it goes. Don't hate Lennox for winning the fight, he didn't stop the fight, the ref did.
