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

[edgarg]

Two words:

Ross Puritty

TNT KID- The FACTS about the Ross Puritty fight ARE......this was Klitschko's 25th fight in his 24 months as a pro. He weighted only 225. He was a kid. He BEAT Purrity all over the ring and bounced him from the ceilings for 10 rounds, every one of which he WON, but it was a 12 round fight. He wore down, BUT NOT UNTIL !0 ROUNDS were done. His corner stopped the fight. Could happen to anyone in similiar circumstances. No disgrace, and was never regarded as such by ANYONE.

[Ray Ray]

Because guys like you are on here bad mouthing the Klitschko's. Lewis was a great fighter and I respect that. But, it is ridiculaous to say that he got old basically over night between the Mike Tyson fight and the fight with Vitali. That seems to be everyone elses excuse too. How come it could not be because he finally ran into a guy who could handle his style and give better than he took? Have you ever thougt about that?

why dont you check the Klitscho fans saying some off the wall bull****...it works both ways. Vitali isnt going to be an ALL TIME GREAT like Lewis is...THOSE ARE FACTS and you cant despute that.

[Carlisle]

Vitali.. Shut up.

Vitali will you please shut up? Lennox had your face badly cut up at the end of his career. You got Technically Knocked Out. Get over it. Go some where and sit down.

In a recent interview with The Edmonton Journal, former heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko spoke about the most famous bout of his career, the 2003 six-round war with Lennox Lewis. Klitschko says if the fight was not stopped on cuts, he would have knocked Lewis out. During the back and forth action, Klitschko suffered several big cuts on his face and the severity of the cuts led to the stoppage. [details]

Using your logic...Rahman forced Vitali to retire!

No, they never fought. Make sense to you?

[Ray Ray]

No, they never fought. Make sense to you?

So vitali made Lennox retire?? Is that what you're saying right???

Didnt Vitali retire because he couldnt fight Rahaman right??? so If Lewis retired because of Vitali...the same could be said about the Rahman and Vitali situation...Get my point now...Its all bull****!! Thats why I said USING YOUR LOGIC!!

[markosg]

Well, lets see. Vitali has never been knocked down or stopped as a pro............at all. Lewis has been brutally Ko'd (2) times. I wonder who would have been knocked out. It's not rocket science. And were you one of the ones who said Lewis was so great after bashing on Mike Tyson in the fight before Vitali and then turn and say that he is past his prime and needed to retire after he goes in and gets his a55 beat by Vitali? If you werent one of the ones, I will be suprised.

Well lets see............ Vitali did beat a host of good contenders like............ ummm............how bout............ummm........Danny Wil.......ermm no!

Love it when someone who's profile pic is of Vitali makes a comment and we are supposed to think that it is actually back up by some kind of rationale!

[Addition]

Wlad is a millions times better than lewis.

You really do have a habit of posting deluded crap such as this.

[Chase8400]

You're as deluded as they come to suggest WLAD is better than Lewis. The heavyweight division was much more competitive to what it is now.

Thats a matter of your opinion. Probably from a long time Lewis Fan. Prime for Prime, in my opinion- Wlad would beat Lewis. Lennox gets hit by Wlad , thats just the way he fights. He may have got a few jabs in his face while doing it, but believe me: Wlad has a better jab and hits harder with the right hand.

[cuzfozzy]

I agree with Vitali , but Lewis was already past his prime
and took the fight (like Vitali) on two weeks notice ...
he was already about to retire ... and did quite good ...
I saw the fight turning to Vitali's favor he had just opened
up a cut on Lennox's nose .. Lewis was losing stamina ...
