Lennox Lewis' win over Vitali is the best of the decade!

[Kris Silver]

the bout was stopped because he was getting worked by vitali. Luckiest win off all time yes...greatest HW win of all time...hell no!!!!!!!

The fight was not stopped because of Vitali out working Lennox you dufus, it was stopped as he was severely injured from Lennox's punches, and was losing that round badly also. The thread clearly says best HW win of the decade as-well, not all time. You have issues with fact and fiction.

lewis was smart to retire vitaly would have kod lennox in a rematch

A less out of shape Lennox would be KO'd, riiight.

Losing on cuts is always unsatisfactory. I still dont think ive seen this fight whole. I hear conflcting stories. Some say Vitali would have won if he didnt get cut. And some say, including LL that he was overtaking and getting second wind.

But it was a valuable win nonetheless

Vitali's eye was ****ed and the doctor chose to stop the fight. I think I read that he could've had permanent eye damage if they let the fight continue.

you considered that a great win? Lewis was lucky ass hell that the bout was stopped because he was getting worked by vitali. Luckiest win off all time yes...greatest HW win of all time...hell no!!!!!!!

Co-Sign

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis was badly hurt and was staggering around the ring like a drunk, he barely survived the 2nd round. Lewis was getting outworked, outlanded and was hurt several times 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 for sure if the fight had continued.

Vitali intimidated the **** out of the scared Lewis after the fight and made him look like a *****. All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and boo'd Lewis after the fight.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 25 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

Lennox Lewis convincingly won the final round of that fight and thats all that matters.

That final uppercut that took away Vitali's legs was one of the most beautiful punches Ive ever seen. Great match and Lewis is a Legend.

lol at this ******ed Lewis nuthugger.

Unlike Lewis, the iron chinned Vitali was never hurt in the fight, he took that huge uppercut and was unphased, he immediately came right back with his own power shots and stunned Lewis again.

After the fight, klitschko looked like a hideous beast, whereas lewis looked good like always!

Lewis was almost 38 years old when they fought, but what if the roles were reversed?

Imagine what would happen if the Vitali who slopped around against Kevin Johnson faced a quick prime 31 year old Lennox Lewis? Itd be a 2 round massacre! Vitali would probably die in the ring.

But couldve, wouldve shouldve doesnt matter. In reality Lennox already defeated Vitali by TKO. Its History. Lennox defeated every opponent he every faced professionally, and the Klitschkos have not.

I have said this many, many times, Vitali got an old man in the ring, and couldnt take advantage of it.

Lewis didnt retire because he was "scared and intimidated" by Vitali, calling an atg like lewis a coward is reprehensable, and if he really was a coward, he'd never have rematched rahman would he, because Rahman and Mcall both hurt lewis WAY more than prime vitali did!

This photo here demonstrates the disparity between the current era and Lennox's era.

Vitali is arguably the best Heavyweight in boxing right now, but when he went up against an elderly man of the previous era he got pizza faced! Lennox was an absolute badass.

I never said that it was stopped due to vitali outworking lennox. What a dumb ass reply back to my comment. I also like how you quoted half of my sentence to make it seem I was implying that.

Since you have no reading comprehension skills let me elaborate:

I implying that he was lucky, in a sense, because that freak accident in which lennox lewis' thumb caused the horrible cut, eventually lead to the fight being stopped. **** like that never happens in boxing..so yeah he was lucky in that sense. Lewis was showing signs of fatigue and Yes he is very lucky the fight was stopped, because if not he would have gotten UD'd.

Vitali was working Lewis and lennox had a few nice rights, only because Vitali clearly couldnt see those punches comming due to the cut. That cut never happens and Lewis doesn't win.

It's over, and it doesn,t matter anyway. Yo call that a great win, and even worse, one of the greatest wins is ****in ****** as hell. Next you guys are gonna say Byrds win over Vitali was one of chris' greatest wins.
