Lennox Lewis: "Hey Vitali, Get Over it and Move On"

[Ray*]

I dont remember Lewis signing a contract to fight Vitali, If he did then he definitely ducked Vitali but if he didnt then he doesnt have to give VK a rematch whether he agree to the fight verbally or not.

I keep forgetting to say that I like the Minoan (?) fighters you have. I have a vase with some such figures, a copy unfortunately........

I also like the ship in full sail. What is it, a training ship or one still in full commission??

I once tried to buy the pirate ship which was featured in the original "Peter Pan" by Disney, and when I arrive in Vancouver the ship had been languishing for a few years, so I thought I'd get it and offered $1000, which was a fairly good sum then.

I could have bnought 166 acres on a Gulf island for $2200, but the bank wouldn't lend me that extra $200, I had the $2000, I was so green that I didn't realise that if I'd said
"$2000 cash" the poor guy wouild have cried for joy and grabbed it. Theeeen, instead of being an ordinary common-or-garden multi-millionaire today, I'd have been a super-dooper one, rivalling if not surpassing Oscar.

To get back to the ship, I astill have a letter from the Disney Studios in my scrap book, telling me that they'd have been happy to sell it to me but my offeer came just 4 months too late, that the ship, without it's engines, was being tiowed to a brekers yard.

My idea was to moor it in the Vancouver Harbour and make a dine/dance etc. club out of it. The Original DISNEY PETER PAN PIRATE SHIP would have been an enormous attraction, and all the Hollywood stars who used to come up to play in Vancouver, or for the salmon fishing, or just plain boozing, like Bing Crosby, and would, after their shows, come to my then working place, wouild have made their home in that ship.

Just then, I was keeping the "wolf away from my door" by playing drums in a night club, and I was full of ideas, which were my "schtik".............

Then....that is.

yeah klitschko might as well give it up. why would you want to fight someone that would be coming off a 6 year retirement. obviously your gonna win the fight. there would be nothin to gain from beatin a old past his prime lewis just to make you feel better. when you think about it its vitali own fault that the fight went the way it did. lennox lewis was not even in top shape the night of their fight. he was the biggest he had ever been, his stamina was ****ty, and his boxing was sloppy. there were numerous times where vitali had lennox hurt but he failed to capitalize and put him way. i remember on more than one occasion where vitali had lennox wobbling but he just stopped punching and looked at him. WTF? i thought in boxing i thought once you have your opponent in trouble like that you jump on they ass and knock him out. so with that being said vitali should have put lennox lewis away when he had the chance but he didnt. so it makes me wonder if lewis was able to beat klitcshko in the crappy shape he was in, wonder how he would of did he was in shape. those are the questions people should be asking.

I thought that Lewis retired in April; 2004, if so that's 4 1/2 years not 6 years. A BIG difference..........

Not sure aboutthiose details, but the date was already secured and announced Dec. 6th or 16th or something like that. Someone will have the correct date. Klitschko fought Johnson on Dec 10th I think, so it may have been THIS date, which they had already swecured.

Yes, the info about the Island of Santorini (Thera) is also VERY interesting, and directly related to Crete and the Minoans. An old professor of mine J.V. Luce, with a Greek associate, was the first to excavate there,and post their belief that it was the aoriginal "Atlantis".

The first one that I know of to postulate this was Emanuel Velikovsky, and if you are interested in slightly speculative ancient History, LOOK UP HIS BOOKS, Earth In upheaval, Worlds in Collision, and several others. The scientific world was in the same sort of upheaval, as you'll read. if/when you pick up the books at your local lending library.

It's time to say good night, but I keep finding things I want to reply to. I should just shut my eyes, close my mouth and disappear.

lennox was always scared on the Klitschkos.

The interesting thing about your Marciano comment, is that it may be perfectly accurate, but in a RING Magazine interview with Nat Loubet, a few days BEFORE he announced his retirement, Marciano stated in NO uncertain terms, that he intended to fight for a good few years yet, that he was still learning, and had a way to go, etc. etc. .....................

I have that issue.

Nice info Edgar.

My point was from what I recall reading in a book by Harry Carpenter.

Vitali and Lennox are starting to sound like some divorced couple.
