Klit never was, and never will be on Lewis's level.

I do think because of the terrible state of the HW division neither brother will ever rise to the top 10 ATG heavyweight status that Lewis or any other of the top 10 achieved in their era

All the Vitali fans, how does it feel that Lewis will always be remebered for being one of the greatests Heavies of all time. He beat EVERY person he faced, and conducted himself with class and style (unlike Vitali who acted like a spoilt child in the ring after Lewis forced his face to require plastic surgery)

There is no comparison, Lewis was a true great champion, Vitali (and Wlad for that matter) have never beaten anyone, and only survive in a division which is full of nobodys and fatties.

Look at resumes, especially the last name on Lewis's.

not true at all the round before they stopped the fight vitali was still winning with 1 eye..if anything lewis would have been stopped.his mouth was hanging open and he was gasping for breath..lewis is an atg so in shape or not he'll put up 1 hell of a fight.vitali was just the better man that night

Oh, bull****. He was in training to face Kirk Johnson, who pulled out with an injury, and Klitchko was asked to step in and fill the card. If anything, Klitchko was the lesser prepared of the two.

The first point is utter bull****. Lewis was training for Kirk Johnson, prior to Johnson pulling out of the fight and Vitaly being a late replacement.
In fact it was Vitaly who was only training for Lewis for a couple of weeks.

After that I was not reading, because you lost any type of credibility you had before that point.
So, nice try, but you fail.

But, in fact, he wasn't. Lewis walked away with the win. And the reason why was caused by a Lewis punch.
No hate on Vitali. But it is what it is.

The cut happened so Lewis won regardless of who the better man was, Vitali has been nailed with two huge uppercuts in that round and was hurt a few more of those and Vitali would proberbly be in the same amount of trouble Lewis was in early. Lewis was catching up the scorecars were 3 rounds to 2 in favour of Vitali on all cards so an old, fat out of shape Lewis was still in the fight

Klitschko was fighting on the undercard and Lewis under trained whenever he fought someone who he didn't think belonged in the ring with him ala Rahman and McCall

You really think Lewis who went in at nearly 260lbs, and thought he was facing Kirk (who?) Johnson was prepared??

Then you proceed to not acknowledge the rest of my argument because we disagree on something?? Thats weak.

I take it you aint on your debate team in elemetary........

Klit never was, and never will be on Lewis's level.
