Vitali Klitschko: "I Would Have Knocked Lennox Lewis Out"

[Steak]

The only two hall of fame type fighters that Lennox beat where a shell of their former selves. The 38/39 year old version of Holyfield and the Tyson 12 years past his peak.

the only two HOF fighters that Wladimir and Vitali beat were.....

ass
its actually not common for fighters to have wins over HOF fighters though.

sigh...its not the numbers that matter, its the people you beat that matter. put up Wlad's top 10 wins and then put up Lennox's top 10 wins, and it is very lopsided. hell, if you want to make it fair, Ill put up Lennox's best wins at age 32, because that would make more sense.

Ill do it myself, just because I feel like it, haha.
Lennox-Wladimir
Andrew Golota>Chris Byrd 1(Golota went on to draw with him years later I believe, and Ive read that that fight was a robbery. Golota was also coming off of wins over Rid**** Bowe, so I give him the edge in this)
Razor Ruddock>Samuel Peter
Tony Tucker>Sultan Ibragimov
near prime Ray Mercer>40ish year old Ray Mercer
Frank Bruno>Lamon Brewster
Tommy Morrison>Calvin Brock
Oliver McCall>Jameel McCline
Henry Akinwande=Old Chris Byrd II
old Mike Weaver< or = old Francois Botha
Gary Mason isnt as good as Axel Shultz

there you go, Lennox wins

Vitali was definitely on his way to knocking out Lewis, he was dominated the fight and embarrasing Lewis with ONE EYE, Vitali was clearly winning the fight at the time of the controversial stoppage....Vitali gave Lewis the biggest ass whoopin of his career, he hurt Lewis several times and made him stagger like a drunk...After the fight all the fans cheered Vitali and boo'd Lewis.

I lost any respect I had for Lewis when he retired like a coward.

Vitali scared Lewis into retirement, that's the bottom line.

No way was that fight worse than what Rahman did to an obviously out of shape and ill prepared Lennox Lewis... Have you actually watched any other boxers aside from the Klitschko sisters???

Lewis knew he as done training for professional competition more than likely even before he took the Klitschko fight. It was looked at as easy money and turned out to a half a days work.. Sure Lewis looked old and out of shape against Vitali; that's because he was, Vitali didn't beat the man out of shape, he showed up that way... LMAO... I also know for a fact that Vitali had nothing to do wth Lewis retiring from boxing. And I can honestly say at no point was Lennox ever considering a come back either, against Vitali or even bloody Butterbean for that matter...

How come you aren't dis*****g me calling Vitali Klitschko a Paper-Champion???

*awaits WLAD OWNS response on how Vitali scared Lewis into retirement blah blah blah*

They stopped the fight because the doctor SAID that Klitschko couldn't see. Even a brief look at the guy when he's protesting the stoppage, would show ANYONE (except Randy Neumann. who's blind) that he had NO vision impairment AT ALL. BOTH eyes were opend to their fullest, of equal size. The slight blue mouse under his eye was no bother, and the eyebrow cut had no vision effect. The doctor was STANDING OVER HIM, within inches, Klitchko couldn't see anything of the doctor, except maybe his crotch. His corner was full of handlers, and noise. He probably didn't hear or understand what the doctor asked. His English speech and understanding then were very poor, as his after-fight interview shows. Even what he did say and listen to, had to bequietly relayed to him in German first. LOOK AT IT. And you can SEE that his "cut" eye was FULLY OPEN as he was furious, glaring at everybody.

AND, by coincidence, I had that fight on just yesterday. Never mind that i had Klitschko winning all 6 rounds, including the one in which he was cut, and that Lewis was nearly stopped at least 2-3 times in the second alone. What I found MOST interesting was the day-before, pre-fight Lewis interview. Guys..... do me a favour. Dig it out and play it. For arrogance, overconfidence, supreme, even pathological egotism, this would be impossible to beat. He makes that hugely overswolled (his head) Nazeem Hamed look like a beginner...............

I've no doubt but that Lewis would have lasted not more than another round. He's lost his power which had no effect on Klitschko, was worn out, and Klitschko was easily abler to go 12 rounds, in fact had planned for it, as he said.

Anyone with intelligence can see the events progression which clearly shine the light on the path on which Lewis was forced by Klitscko's thirst for the rematch, to RETIRE. Especially when he saw what K did to Kirk Johnson, Lewis' original opponent.

Vitali and Wlad **** in lewis's mouth. All lewis did was a beat a couple washed up versions of Tyson and Holyfield.

Funny that wasn't what Lennox Lewis's' family was saying even before the Klitschko fight...

You can't find out everything by watching TV my friend...

Great Post, I agree 100%

[Johnny Blayzz]

Lewis retired beacuse he was done with being a boxer and training to fight the best... Ask any one who knows Lennox personally and talked to him even before the Klitschko fight and you'll see I'm right...

And Vitali Klitshcko is a Paper Champion, you can't argue that because it's fact... On top of that Klitschko never defended his title against any one worthy of a title shot and then ran away...

Vitali and Wlad **** in lewis's mouth. All lewis did was a beat a couple washed up versions of Tyson and Holyfield.

dont you feel a bit foolish criticising lewis and saying his chin was piss poor etc, and yet your man vitali couldn't take him out when he was WAY past prime and under-prepared??

Vitali was winning the fight, and had lewis hurt more than once. Lewis would have been KO'd before the 9th round.
