Who is the best Heavyweight of the past 30 years?

Boxers need special care for cuts to not let inner scars develop.

I think it's safe to say that minor cuts would not require "special care to not let inner scars develop." The fact that Vitali needed special care at all seems testament to the severity of his injuries.

Vit took the fight with two weeks notice, not Lewis.

-Please explain to me how Vitali took the fight on 2 weeks notice and Lennox did not? Time Travel? Seriously are you a ******?

And overweight/semi retired? lol. Where do you get that guff from? He was a whopping 5lbs heavier than he was for Tyson in 02

-Lennox weighed 256.5. Last time he was that fat he lost to Rahman. Not a good weight for him.

-He was inactive for 377 days to be exact. There was nothing left for him to accomplish after beating Mike Tyson and avenging all defeats. The only reason he got out of bed to fight Vitali was to avoid being stripped of his last remaining belt. A belt he held for 377 days without a defense.

Old. Overweight. Semi-retired.... and Vit still couldnt beat him.

The fight was stopped by an injury to Vit deliberately opened up by a hit and hold shot and later stopped when he was in front on all three judges cards. A strategy Lewis is very good at admittedly.

Vitali isn't holding Lewis at all when he deliberately pulls his head onto a grazing punch that opens up the cut. He was already marked up beforehand, but it wasn't open.

That was an IMPACT blow not a graze; Like when you burst open a ketchup packet. If Vitali cant handle it maybe he should protect his face more or go fight bums like sosnoski who cant reach that high. You Klitschko fans really need to stop crying over this loss.

Ken Norton. Arguably a better fighter than anyone Lewis ever fought.

Very, very arguably. In fact so arguable as to be plain wrong.

[nomadman]

Think about it, a HW fighter that has never been defeated legitly and lost 5 rounds in his career.

Yeah, that sounds awesome. Pity Vitali wasn't that fighter.

Well, that was a ****ing ******ed comment.

All three judges had him ahead 4-2, so that means Vit should have won the fight UD6 given I've proven Lewis resorted to dirty tactics to open the cut. And where do you get this baloney about Vit not having two weeks late notice? Kirk Johnson dropped out of the fight with Lewis fight on June 10th and the bout still went ahead with Vit on June 23rd, got that ******? As for the excuse that 5lbs of excess got him KO'd by Rahman...LOL

[nomadman]

bowe is underrated

No he's not, he's a ****ing overrated one-hit wonder who got the Maccy D's beat out of him by Andrew Golota. Twice. And needs a mythic five minute prime to excuse such atrocious performances.

[T.Horton]

If one boxer knows he will fight and the other doesn't.

If Lennox had a fight scheduled (= on several month's notice) and then his opponent calls off and Vitali has to jump in (on 2-weeks notice).

Notice the wording: "Vit took the fight with two weeks notice, not Lewis."

you sound like a very bad used car saleswoman. vitali was training for Larry Donald to fight, I believe, on the same card.

[Money Shot]

Well, that was a ****ing ******ed comment.

Lewis was scheduled to fight Kirk Johnson who pulled out two weeks before the bout. You tell me if that isn't correct?

[KnockUTheFukOut]

might be a little Biased because I was as big fan of Lennox but he had a pretty impressive RUN...unfortunately he didn't get a chance to fight Bowe but still was able to put together an amazing CAREER

Lewis is responsible for DESTROYING AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING to be honest, he cleaned out the Heavyweight Division from Top to Bottom during his ERA
