      So a clean punch is a punch that grazes the side of his face. You need to go rewatch it.

        You can say what you want for either fighter and who would have won!!! They were both tired at the end and it was a great fight!!! BUT!!! The boxing public knows this wasn't finished!!! Lewis was affraid he was gonna lose his legacy if he lost to Vitali in a rematch!!! Plain and simple fact- Lewis was affraid!!! You can say what you want about his age or his conditioning, That is not Vitali's fault, it is Lennox's!!! A great champ is never affraid to fight anybody, even if they fear they will lose!!! Lewis was affraid to lose to this so called robotic, mediocre, plodding, unknown!!! Regardless of who you think would have won a rematch, Lewis would never look good against Vitali!!! I can never say that a coward is one of the greatest of all time!!! No doubt that he accomplished great things, BUT,if Lewis would have rematched Vitali I would still thnk he was great. Vitali will be champ for a long time.

          ABSOLUTELY!!! That cut came from a LL right hand; not from a headbutt or from tripping on his way into the ring. Lewis won that fight, period.

            Well, by this criterion you are right, of course. However,
            I never like when a fight is stopped on cuts. Ugly cuts are never caused by clean, legitimate punching. Somehow stoppage on cuts does not seem right; it seems plain ugly. I think that they should use some light head-gear in order to prevent cuts, but not knockouts.
            Ugly cut's are never caused by clean punches??? Somebody forgot to tell Gatti that in several of his fight's.

              They only reason why Lewis went at Vitaly is because he wasn't in shape. The reason he wasn't in shape is because he wasn't taking the man he was supposed to fight the night seriously. That wasn't Vitaly fault but I think a in shape Lewis beats Vitaly. You have to remember when Lewis feels their is danger most of the time he comes in serious and ready to kick ass. He would box Vitaly and maybe stop him.

                imo only true champs come prepared for battle everytime. not just when they think there is a tough battle. a true champ doesn't take anyone lightly. and a true champ would live up to his word and give the rematch he promised. i am not a huge klitscko fan but damn lewis pissed me off. i watched that fight with unbiased. lewis wasn't as impressive to me as he was to some. i felt vit had the better shots. personally i think had the fight gone on lewis would have been ktfo.

                  thats ok, we were bound to disagree sometime!!

                  I do wish he had given Vitali the rematch, if only to erase the doubts

                    That was the problem with Lewis but he always came back and won convincingly. I would of love to see a rematch so I can't disagree with you on that one. I had Vitaly winning a close fight up until the stoppage but Lewis was really starting to rip Vitaly with some good shots. He was also dead tired so we don't know what would of happened. The rematch wouldn't have played out like that though. I think that was the best Vitaly could do and you and I both know that wasn't the best Lennox in the ring that night.

                      that fight wasn't that lopsided so this was an easy one to disagree on. and lewis will still go down as one of the top heavies. just one of the top heavies that knew when he had met his match and didn't want to take a loss as his last fight
