Lennox Lewis - Vitali Klitschko II.

[Mr. Philadel]

Vitali. Lewis has been out the game too long, and is too old even for a HW.



He was the champion. Why would he rematch somebody he beat? Sure, it was on cuts, but as has been said they were from his gloves, not a clash of heads. Unlucky for Vitali, maybe, but there is no doubt whatsoever Lewis won (or 'won').

He was the champion. Why would he rematch somebody he beat?

First, because he promised rematch and more important because he didn't really beaten Vitali not by score, not by dominating over Vitali and not by Klitchko or his team decision. Only a cut. So, I think honest REAL champion would give a chance to his opponent to resolve any doubts. But Lewis behave as coward. Maby he is not, but he acts so.

Lewis won the last 2 rounds of the fight right?

maybe according to the judges. I thought he won the last round but he totally spent himself in the process. he was dead tired when that bell rang

all he needed was that 1 minute sit.......he was dead tired after the 4th to be honest!

[Drunk Punch]

If Vitali couldn't whup a 43 year old retired Lewis that would be embarrassing. He has his chance against a faded 37 year old version and still lost.

After reading 2 threads about Vitali v lewis, im gonna have to watch the first one again today.
Oh and an old Vitali in 6 months time does some serious damage to a 6 year retired 400lbs lewis.
Lennox has nothing to prove and after being retired for this long has no business getting back into the ring. Look at the state of him, has he even seen the inside of a gym in the last 6 years?
It would take him 9 months just to get back down to 240ish.

....I don't think this fight would be remotely competitive. It would have been exactly the same thing if they had rematched right away. Vitali blows him out now or then.

[Abstraction]

Vitali would own his ass again for the 2nd time.

But either way: in before 30 page thread

... "2nd time" ?

[Rich Loc]

I don’t think there is a fighter who gets so much credit for losing like Vitali does against Lewis. Taylor doesn't even get it when he took all that punishment against JCC

[Derranged]

I really wish they had a rematch back in 2004. That would have been huge.

I wonder how Lewis is doing financially.
