Lennox Lewis V.S. Vitali Klitschko

[AintGottaClue]

- lewis won the fight
- VK was winning the fight, ahead on the cards
- the punch that caused the cut, that stopped the fight, for the most part missed but the side of the glove caught VK's eye... kind of a fluke circumstance, but happened none the less...

- who woulda won had the fight gone on?? hard to say, lewis was starting to come on, but looked very tired from the busy pace he was fighting at...

- in the end, VK's stock did rise despite defeat... he showed a good chin, ability to handle pressure from lewis and pressure from a big fight...

exactly now ever can shut up and stop bumpign threads with lewis and klitschko in it

I can't wait for someone to knock out this klitschko guy just so we can look back at a thread like this and say, imagine what Lewis would have eventually done to him.

Vitali Klitschko is overrated. Atleast some fighters are overrated for winning performances, but this guy is overrated for the fights he lost. The guy already proved that he had zero heart against Byrd. So can we start talking about him after he beats someone good.

Utter nonsense. No offense intended, Jack, but you're either pretty young, or not really a fan of the sport (I'm guessing the former..you seem pretty smart 99% of the time). Klitchko is ugly to watch, I'll be the first to admit that, but he's extremely smart in the ring and knows how to use his advantages to their fullest. And, he can take a big-ass shot well. These things are why he succeeds, and are also why he gave Lewis big trouble.

As for the Klitchko/Lewis fight. It really could've gone either way, had it not been stopped, but I'd have given Klitchko a better chance to come out on top, and within another couple of rounds in my opinion. Remember, he's never been down. Lewis wasn't in the best shape of his career, was age 37, and was headed for deep water. I just don't see a way for him to have pulled it off. Sure, he rallied a round or two, but at his age, in the shape he was in, he was headed downhill fast.

Anyway, that's all just supposition. Lewis won, that's all she wrote, the fat lady sang, etc. etc. ad nauseum. I need more coffee.

He should at least beat 1 fighter except Kirk Johnson who is semi-decent.

Alright you gotta realize no matter who you are, what kind of will you have, taking flush shots from a heavy puncher like Lewis is going to get you knocked out. There's no way he could have withstood a barrage like that again in the later rounds, even if the eye was never open.

All I'm asking for is a win against a top level fighter.

I'm tired of seeing someone who is recognized as the champion by so many people fight a bunch of guys who are garbage.


Everytime I say to a Klitschko fan that he's overrated they always tell me about his potential and his skills, but they never tell me about his accomplishments. Tell me about his accomplishments. You aren't great for your skills, you're great for what you do with them against other top level fighters.

slap the trippuh:

yall klitschko haters full of ****, did lewis ever in the fight get klitschko against the ropes or did he lay a big flurry of punches in the fight(hell no he didint) to say that klitschko lost is not fair because he didint loose and was putting on a hell of a fight. Lewis was staggered way more then Klitschko and I rmeember George Foreman saying at the fight one punch and he can end the fight, because it was true he was hurting Lewis reall bad. If Vitali was a harder puncher he would have KO'ed Lewis before the fight was stopped but hes a smart fighter who knows how many punches to throw when thyre needed so he doesnt use all his energy up, thats whats so good about him.

I agree that a win over a TOP guy would be great, but I don't see any top fighters in the division right now. No matter who he beats, we'll see the same "He was fighting a bum, 'course he won" stuff that we've seen to date...and it's not far from the truth. I don't see anyone in the division outstanding enough for me to give them better than a 1 in 5 chance against Klitchko. And no, Barrett's performance against Golotta didn't change my mind about his chances against Klitchko. Golotta ain't Vitali. The only similarity is skin color.

If Bowe was in his prime, or maybe Foreman (if he fought with the ring smarts he had in his second career), either of them I think could handle Klitchko, or at least I'd give them even odds (Foreman I'd have to pick as favorite....I don't think anyone could stand up to his power), but in today's division, I just can't pick a challenger that I'd give a chance. Don't get me wrong....today's division isn't devoid of talent, but it's without fighters who have the brains and the talent to shine like those in past years. Klitchko has two things going for him. Size, and smarts, both of which serve him well. He could be beaten, but not by someone who doesn't have the power to KO him, and the brains to outsmart him at the same time. People just don't realize what a formidable tool intelligence can be in a boxing ring.
