      A prime Lewis would have beat him hands down IMO.
      When was prime Lewis? He was 29 when he got KTFO by journeyman Oliver McCall, and 35 when Rahman stopped him, but then he still gets a lot of credit for beating Rahman and an old Tyson after that. Since he was 27 when he won his first world title, just curious.

          I think it's legit to say he overlooked Rock's right hand. The only punch worth worrying about when facing him other than his decent jab.

                What amazes me is that people still believe that Lewis was underprepared while Vitaly was actually in shape for the fight, did Vitaly have some sort of future predicting powers to be prepared for the fight he only found out 20 days prior?
                Lewis was legitimately training for the Kirk Johnson fight prior to that, Vitaly was not training for any fights at all.

                Fact is, however, that a fighter like Vitaly would always give Lewis problems, he would always make him fight instead of box and would always look better in exchanges. He would make Lennox sweat like no other fighter(well, maybe besides an in prime Mercer) and saying that Lennox would have whiped the floor with him, while Lewis could not whipe the floor with mush lesser fighter is ignorant at best.

                      You think that's bad? The Kliterus fan boys claimed Vitali would knock out Ali.
