Vitali Klitschko: "Lennox Lewis Promised Me a Fight"

[Mr. Philadel]

move on big Vit......you annoyin' me with this same ol' lame ass song!!!.....its a wrap......its done.....its over!!!.....leave it alone!!

[Яша]

a past prime old Lennox Lewis beat prime Vitali Klitschko, just look at the state of vitalis face. I like the Klitschkos but it's his fans that annoys me, them saying Lennox was scared and etc etc. The fact is Lennox Lewis was 37 almost 38 years old and over the hill yet he still beat Vitali Klitschko. Shure Vitali would have been heavily favored in the rematch but it would have been an even more past prime and older Lennox Lewis if the rematch happened. If vitali did beat Lennox in a rematch it would have ment about as much as Calzaghes win over Roy Jones.

Vitali Klitschko is 37-2 with 36 KOs. He’s going to defend his title on Sept. 26 against Cris Arreola at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Vitali Klitschko, you both have high knockout percentages, should we assume somebody is going to end this fight lying on their back? [details]

I like Vitaly but he's got to get over it. Fighters say a lot of things when the adrenaline is still pumping. After having time to think Lewis realized he was past his best. Im sure he has a sour taste in his mouth, but at least Lennox gave him that shot to begin with. Without it who klnows how long people would have questioned V's toughness and heart.

[Addition]

He's still obsessed with Lewis

Move the *** on.

Vitali needs to shut up, he had his chance and got his face tore up, Lewis won legitimately, he retired, get over it!!!!!

first of lewis never promised him anything. vitali asked for a rematch and lewis said sure, thats the reaction any fighter would have if he got called out to his face. but lewis is a smart man, he realized he has nothing to gain by beating vitali or any other of the HWs that were around at that time. im sure he also realized he was past his best, and more importantly didnt have the desire to train and fight anymore. he was in pityful shape for the first fight and he still won. anyone with a brain knows vitali isnt on lewis' level anyways. vitali needs therapy so he can get over this lewis thing. i mean seriously ppl get over broken marriages quicker than this.

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards. Lewis was badly hurt and was staggering around the ring like a drunk, he barely survived the 2nd round and was hurt again later in the fight.

punches landed

Vitali 156

Lewis 102

Lewis was exhausted and worn down from the accumulation of punches, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission that night and would've KO'd Lewis if the fight had continued.

All 20,000 fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and boo'd Lewis after the fight. Vitali was the real winner of that fight, he battered Lewis into retirement.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch if he could beat Kirk Johnson.

Vitali destroyed Johnson in 2...The scared Lewis retired like a coward shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 25 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew Vitali would destroy him and tarnish his legacy.

Look at this clown....lol I swear thats the same post you post everytime this subject comes up

[BattlingNelson]

He's never going to stop talking about Lewis, never.

Not happenin. Let it go VK. You and Wlad rule the HW division. LL is retired doin goofy commentary.

Ffs give it up Vitali. Lewis has been retired for years, and is a bald man now. You had your chance the first time and came short.

After 6yrs still can't let it go. I bet he loses sleep over that loss.

He's still obsessed with Lewis

Move the *** on.

Funny how posters make their posts based on a headline rather than the interview itself.

Vitali gave straight answers to the questions asked. It's not a question of him not letting it go. Rather it's the reporters who cannot let it go. He also gives praise to Lennox something Lennox has never done to Vitali.

He said he wants to beat the next generation.Vitali is just answering questions.

Vitali had a chance yes but wasn't lucky,here is the problem.

I have a problem with that TKO rule due to cuts when the guy "stopped" is ahead on cards.
We'll remember those two awesome cuts but also Vitali batterin Lewis.

Lewis promised a rematch in live,a rematch who by the way had to happen.He always said he'll retire at 40 years old,so in my opinion,LEWIS DID A NARROW ESCAPE.

Like Lennox said to him to his Face at Haye/Barrett "Im retired now and if i fought you and you beat me people will just say im old"
