vitali klitschko:a look at his career

[Ogecca MaMa]

When vitali quit vs Byrd his timing was terrible.Tyson,Holyfield,& lennox were still on top & contenders like Byrd,tua,Rahman were fighting each other for top spot & by quitting millions of dollar for anyone fighting him go out the door.no body knew him but they heard he quit vs chris Byrd.in America it didn't fly with the fans too good.face it the real $ is in the states.they do well now in Europe but the states is where you get noticed.it took him years to recover & he gained more from a loss than anyone in history.

I agree with you here. I'd love to see him fighting more in US than Europe, because US is a homeland of boxing and boxin fans. But it's not only about America. they make tons of $ outside of United States, too. And to me health is more important thatn $, so heh didi right decision by quiting against Byrd. I'm sure ppl will agree with me here.

No, it isn't. Look up the definition of the word fact. You've missed my point completely. A fact is something that can be proved - you can't prove that Lewis was scarred of Vitali, you can only speculate.

alright my bad, I should of write down it different way. I doubt hewas scared of Vitali, but.. There was a big possibility Vitali wiinig a rematch. satisfied with this answer?

I agree, i'm sure him and Stewart sat down reviewed the fight and weighed their options. The possibility that Lewis would lose a rematch was real so the risk/reward wasn't worth it for him.

This was more true circa 1999 but now i think it's completely untrue. More money can be made outside the U.S. and if the Americans don't want to pay attention to the fighters or don't want to give a guy credit then **** them, their loss.

Dzinziruk for example is a top guy and has been for a long time, if an American fight fan doesn't want to believe it or watch him, their loss.

Yeh, that's better. Y'see I am inclined to agree with you, I think Lewis might have been scarred of losing, but I can't say it's a fact. The rematch should have happened.

Also Artur, it is possible to be a fan of both David Haye and the Klitschko brothers. I like all three as fighters. It's true that Haye is my favourite of the three and part of that is because he's British, but it's also got a lot to do with the fact I've watched him since his amateur days and seen him develop. Because I live in the UK, I see UK fighters, but I'm not nationalistic. I don't like Ricky Hatton and I don't like Carl Froch.
