why do people use the Lewis fight to insult Vitali Klitschko?

[Thunder Lips]

The fight proved alot for both fighters, not sure how someone can use it to insult either guy.

Lewis at the time was regarded as soft and chinny yet he survived a mauling from a huge puncher without folding.

Vitali was looked at as a joke with no heart yet he took Lewis' best punches and fought on with bad cuts and internal injuries.

Can't say I wasn't upset when Lewis retired without a rematch. As a fan of either fighter or boxing in general you can only feel cheated.

Lewis took the fight on few days notice as well, he was trainin for Kirk not Vitali

Vitali was ahead on the scorecards at the end of the fight, and it looked to me like the cut over the eye was caused by an intentional head butt from Lewis in the second round. So Vitali should have won the fight.

the man took the fight on a few days notice, against one of the best heavyweights of all time, why do people use the fight to insult Vitali?

people should be crediting him for taking the fight and being a warrior in the ring and a gentleman outside,

it just doesnt seem fair, does it?

I don't think they should. He was great in that fight.

However, they SHOULD use it to insult Klit's insane nuthuggers.

Lewis had been preparing for a fight for months, although it was supposed to be Johnson. Vitali had not been preparing for a fight.

Yes he had, He was fighting on the undercard.

This is the reason why Klit gets "insulted".

You seriously need to rewatch the fight...That cut was caused by a punch not a head butt!
