apparently Lewis was in shape for the Vitali fight according to Steward

[Bad-Wlad]

What was Lennox Lewis' fight before Vitali ? Was he in his prime then ?

of coarse he was he was only out of his prime because Vitali was beating the crap out of him lol

No. It was his crowning achievement in the public's eyes, but not his best performance. may I remind you that he was inactive for 12 months prior to the Klit fight, guys at that age can decline rapidly after so long a lay off.

Never mind Vit almost beat an old, out of shape and inactive great. Almost is just as good as the real deal isn't it?

[Mr. Ryan]

This is not Vitali's claim to fame. His claim to fame was when he became heaveyweight champion. No one has yet to beat him since being champion.

I'm no Klitschko hater, I rather like them both. But some fans make it impossible to root for them.

lol this again, lewis looked flabby round the middle weighing in nearly 8 pounds heavier than against Tyson.

You're clutching at so many straws you'll sprain your wrist.

Lennox Lewis was heavier, because he was fighting a much bigger and heavier opponent. Steward says he was in shape.

[garryd]

look at what he was doing to Lewis he was whooping his ass untill the cut they seriously underestimated Vitali

Dont know what fight you was watching,cause i watched a very close fought fight that Lennox Lewis won by doing more damage!
Sorry but are you realy that blind or just fool hardy???

Funny how we may choose what is prime and not prime, and who is a good fighter and not so good fighter.

It was Mike Tyson, a full 12 months before the Vitali fight. Was he in his prime? Not really. His prime was a good two years earlier.

Lennox Lewis was heavier, because he was fighting a much bigger and heavier opponent. Steward says he was in shape.

Every trainer in the history of boxing says that their fighter is in shape before the fight if asked. The question to me is "Why is the journalist asking if the fighter is in shape?"

Whether rooting for them or not, it will not decide the outcome Wladimir or Vitali's fights.

What was the outcome of Klitschko - Lewis?
