Funny how Lewis fans justify.........

What about thaT busted nose & internal injuries to his ticker & lest we forget the brain damage & denial of the beating he just received in the ring...stating to everyone that if the money was right there'd be a rematch... as his brain cells slowly started coming back & he went & rewatched the fight for himself..retirement was his best bet than to go through that again. Lennox made a wise busness decision turning down similar payment he got for Tyson..yet was more than willing to rematch THE bADDEST MAN on the PLANET when nobody wanted to see it instead of setting the record straight against The Baddest Man oF ThE uKRAINE WHO had him reeling all over the ring like a ping pong ball for 6 rds>>>> nuff' said guys!

This is ridiculous.

I guess Trevor Berbick was the baddest man too because Ali didnt want to fight him again! Ridiculous.

If Vitali couldnt get it done against a sluggish 37 year old Lewis, he doesnt deserve the luxury of fighting an even older, slower version of that guy. Im sure if Lennox slowed down enough Vitali would eventually beat him. I weigh 160 lbs and Id beat Lennox eventually... What the hell does that prove?

The only boxers who continue to fight past their best are

1. Broke Boxers( Holyfield)
2. Boxers who failed in their prime (Vitali, Foreman)

Lennox did not fit in either of these categories. He defeated everyone he ever faced, and had nothing to gain beating a guy he already beat. Vitali has to live with it.

LOL.... at the comparisons between Berbick retiring ALI & vITALI doing likewise to Lewis.. ONLY 2 things wrong with your convenient analogy & that is that he should've asked Holmes for the rematch...not Berbick as Holmes layed the foundation for the BERbick beatdown & the other thing is thaT in b oth fights ALI got the L he justifiably earned WHILE Lennox got a gift wrapped retirement sending W next to his...regardless of the outcome...even If LENNOX lost..he wouldn't be cAught DEAD in the squared circle again if it means he;d have to face VITALI again. How convenient that the W he didn't earn covered up his tracks & the heart that was taken away by vitali's fists..... nice try though son but go back to the drawing board & give me something better to work with..... IT's geting embarassing for you here!

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

I honestly think Lennox realised he got a bit lucky and would have to have his toughest camp ever to get back into top shape and be sure of winning a rematch. He could've kept beating most of the heavyweights out there without too much trouble but a rematch with Vitali would need a level of commitment he didn't have any more.

^^^ Holmes didnt look like a used Tampon.

An interesting note from the post-fight interview is that Vitali was bleeding from the INSIDE of his mouth as well. Lennox hits extremely hard, and if you dont go down from a concussion you will get severely busted up as Vitali did that night. Either way it was going to be a Tko victory for Lewis. Inescapable.

why was lewis never punished for the way he held and punched his opponents? He was bad about doing this and if the head had nowhere to go of course it made his punches harder. if i'm not mistaken thats how he cut vitalis eye in the first place. Shouldnt it have been like a headbutt and went to the scorecards since it was done illeagally?

Thank you,,,,, the replays clearly show that Vitali's arm is being held & then Lewis punching him from a close angle..which therefore Lewis had to twist his glove to get the shot in & there4 grazed him with the lacing. These haters act like Lennox cut him with a legitimate punch. It was a freakin' punch on the break for cryin' out loud & ANYBODY would've been cut including Lennox if the stitching of the glove touches your skin just right. In fact...Lennox'S LAST punch with 10 seconds to go as he was being manhandled to the ropes was also a punch on the side of the head while in a clinch that was initiated by Lewis to get Vitali off of him. Regardless,,, Vitali took everyone of these freebie cheap shots,,including a monstrous uppercut earlier in the rd & still kept coming forward.... **** he even kept coming forward in the post fight rituals as well....

It's at the postfight...5 minutes after the fight where Lewis lost his manhood... he saw what he did to the state of his face..yet Vitali was still in his...rematch be damned right then & there with the thinking being If I CAN'T KNOCK THIS guy OUT landing every punch in my repertouire & this guy still keeps coming forward...he must NOT be human...i'm out of the fight game but let me make it look like i've just lost hunger & interest & that I am down with the rematch,, hopefully Kirk Johnson can knock Klitschko the F OUT & then I can retire with dignity as NO one IN THERE right minds will think i'm DUCKING Johnson..since Johnson already ducked him before,,, but unfortunately Vitali tapped that fat ass like no other..knowing althewhile Lennox WAS glued to that TV>>>> CASE CLOSED.... ThAT'S WHAT HAPPENED FOLKS..... NOTHING more to see here!

[RubenSonny]

Lewis TKO6 Klitschko.

[DIB42]

his victory over Vitali Klitschko by saying he was fat..out of shape & ageing. Little do know that by stating Lennox was out of shape & unmotivated.....you're actually saying he got beat without actually saying it..why give & make excuses for him if you think he won fair & square. The excuse of overweight & out of his prime is always given when a fighter got his handed to him not when he got the W..... No need for a response as you've all been exposed & always did know who the best man that night in the ring was..., all the W'S in the world will never change the fact Klitschko dominated that fight & made Lewis look old..fat & out of shape......
Carry On......

Funny how Lewis Haters/Vitali fans bring up that Vitali was dominating the fight and keep forgetting the fact that he lost the fight to an old fat out of shape Lewis.

I like Lennox and I like Vitali. Vitali was winning the fight, but lewis was getting through enough to **** up his face... Thats boxing, get used to it or watch ladie's tennis.

man what a warrior vitali is. those bloody pics remind me how big of a heart he has and even through all that adversity how brutally he still dominated and defeated Lewis. what a true warrior and gentleman

Am i missing the sarcasm? if not, then this is part of the problem and why this ****** subject lingers on.

Vitali dominated lewis, but left himself open to get the fight stopped. Lewis won, Vitali lost to a lewis he was dominating.

Not saying Lewis at that point was better than vitali, not saying vitali is better than lewis... just saying that Vitali lost a fight (fair and square) that he was dominating...

If anything that is more props to lewis than vitali, Lewis found a way to win a fight he was losing badly, Vitali found a way to lose a fight he was dominating in.
