    Lennox Lewis was heavier, because he was fighting a much bigger and heavier opponent. Steward says he was in shape.
    no no. Lewis' weight didn't fluctuate according to his opponents size. I believe Michael Grant weighed 250lbs+ Lewis came in as lithe as he did in his previous fights for that fight.

      Cuts do though, and the outcome of fights whether someone likes them have to be respected to preserve the integrity of the sport.

        When he got knocked out against Rahman ?

          Lewis was past his prime and Vitali gave him a hard fight in his prime and lost and his fans talk about it like it something good. Vitali best win was a defeat

            I give Lennox Lewis a lot of respect because he was a champion. I think everyone should do the same with Wladimir and Vitali because they hold the same title.

                Then again, the fight was heading in Lewis' favor, especially in the sixth and last round.

                  Agreed. If Vitali wasnt so big, lennox Lewis would not have been abot to hold on. Vitali was like his tree to hold on to.

                    why are you hating on Lennox Lewis??
                    Is it cause your guy lost a very close fight where Lennox bust him up and forced the stoppage???
                    Just remember what Lennox Said : look at the state of his face !? what more can i do to it !? how could he fight on in that state!?

                    Lennox won end off!

                      Why not? He got hit by a monster punch and was starched. What happened in the rematch?

                      did you really have Lewis winning the fight lol

                      Vitali was clearly infront he was pounding on Lewis in the 2nd round
                      Through six rounds it was what, 4 rounds to 1 for Klitschko who had lost the fifth and got stopped in the sixth. It's a 12 round fight, not a five round fight.

                      How about this: If Klitschko - Lewis was a 5 round fight Klitschko wins a decision. But it was a 12 round fight and Lewis won by stoppage in the sixth.

                      End of discussion.
