    Lennox couldnt be arsed. He couldnt even be arsed in the actual fight. Im saying if he was arsed, he'd beat Klitschko.

    Right now, he's still not arsed. He might fancy the 25 million quid but he wouldnt bother actually training hard for it.

      Either way you look at it, he won the original fight barring the cut, would have won the rematch(Lewis knew that)and would destroy Lennox now. No real point in the fight, but I would like to see it anyways.

        I suppose he really won the Byrd fight as well despite him punking out? Why can't Vitlai fans accept that he has losses and stop crying about them.

          Can't deny Lewis' bad conditioning hurt him the 1st time, but I still think VK had more upside in '03 and woulda won a rematch even if Lennox did come in top form. Now it's a no brainer. Lennox would be comin off a long retirement and is badly outta shape. No way it happens. But VK woulda stopped him then and now. I couldn't see this fight goin 12.

            He did'nt get the win on his record, but he no doubt beat Chris Byrds ass. Do you dispute that?

            Would you have fought the final 3 rounds with a torn rotator cuff? Do you even know anything about the injury? I doubt it because you would hush up on the defense in that one if you did. It was far from punking out.

              A rematch now would be a bit of a freak show exhibition and Vitali would probably win.
              Thats pretty much the way i see it all, but i think Vitali wins now for definate.

                The demand for the rematch was really big at the time, if Lewis thought he could win it, he would have taken it. It's as simple as that.

                  Outstanding post, that's exactly how it was. If you don't fight again with a 25 million $ offer, then you KNOW you have no shot.
