Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: If Wladimir Beats Haye, I'm Still Better

[edgarg]

The only guy that really blew out Wlad on punches was Sanders. Against Purrity and Brewster he lost more due to exhaustion. He got knocked down a few times by Peter but these were mostly him taking a count. Lewis was blasted out twice on punches. In effect his record isn't that much better.

The Peter KD's were #1) a rabbit pinch and completely illegal....#2) not a punch at all, but a MISSED lewft hook and a right glove grab and push down on Klitschko's shoulder. #3) a just missed or very slightly grazed rtd hand, wehen Klitschko, packpeddling very dfast, tripped back into the ropes and bounced to the canvas. He gor up immediately and continued with his boxing lesson. As you know he won every rd except for the fake KD's".

Even the commentators mentioned them. The ref was blind and ******.

The Sanders' KD's were more a huge head butt for the first one, at the same time as the punch, and which split his left eye. he was never KO'd but TKO'd kept getting up,wanting to continue.

The Purrity stoppage was by his corner after the 11th. he beat Purrity all over the ring for 10 rds. It was at the end of his 2nd year as a pro , age about 21-22, and his 25th fight in that short time. He weighed only about 220.

In other words he had very good reasons for all the KD's none of which had to do with either his chin or his skills. it's more than about time even the DUMBOS admitted this.

Its true. Lewis fought better competition.

You must not have watched that fight because that cut was the ONLY thing stoping Lewis from getting KTFO

watched the fight and have it on video cassette recorded

lets not pretend like Vitali never shaked in the mid rounds when Lewis landed a cracking uppercut and Vitalis legs wobbled and he held on for dear life. Both fighters legs wobbled in that fight given the power of punches that were being thrown and the lack of defense. It was more like a backyard scarp than a boxing much

either man could have gone down with a blow, however vitalis lack of defense cost him the fight, both of them took the fight on short notice and it was evident there was no real game plan

lewis looked old and out of shape, but held his ground to win, that cut was nasty

If it wasn't for that cut vitali was gonna knock Lewis out,and if you say otherwise your fooling yourself

Wlad should beat Haye.

Anyone even mentioning that meaning Wlad is comparable to Lennox Lewis, one of the agreed greatest ever Heavy Weights, needs to get a grip on the hype train and do some history.

Profoundly wrong.

[Jedi Vader]

Stop telling barefaced lies. Klitschko's face was NOT "half his face torn away", as you Lewisites always love to wallow in. It was a simple EYEBROW gash, occurred in rd 3 and by rd 4 was UNDER CONTROL, and did not bleed again. It had NO effect on his vision or ability.
The doctor made a ****** mistake saying that "I asked him to look up and he didn't because his eyelid nerve was severed"....or words to that effect. This was quickly disproven, even by the picture Lewisites LOVE to show with cotton wool stuck on Klitschko's 3 cuts-2 of them hardly word mentioning-. His supposedly damaged eye was WIDE OPEN, GLARING in fact.

He was outraged, as he should have been that he was robbed of the Heavyweight Title that night, by a ****** doctor.

I am a fair person, a sportsman, and I MUST describe things factually with no huge exaggeration, as so many on these pages love to do. If Klitschko...or Smith or Jones, had been incapacitated, I would have agreed and said no more.

I am praying that Haye decapitates Wlad tomorrow to rid us of these kind of people on this board.

I don't rate the Klitschko's when I compare them to the ATG's. I respect them for beating what has been put in front of them. I'm not the type who is blinded by hate to the point where I refuse to give props when they're deserved. However, as far as the Klit Lickers are concerned, they have no place on these boards. All they do is spit out hate and venom at will.

[Motofan]

Big fan of both guys, but yeah, Lewis is better. Not by a whole lot, but I look at Lewis as one of the best heavyweights that ever lived (when he was in shape and gave a ****.)

38? at 38 vitali was dominant world champion, excuse nullified

vitali beat on lewis, go watch the actual fight instead of listening to third party accounts from "yo dawgz"

he was winning on every card until a cut that affected his vision then being denied an obvious rematch - theres no room for opinion here, those are just facts, where as everything in your post is opinion

now for opinion since theyve never fought; as far as wlad being better than vitali, right now when vitali is over 40? yes

any other time, no, simply because wlad has to keep his distance and vitali dominates everywhere, outfighting, infighting, clinching, doesnt matter, hes always beating his opponent up and cant be knocked down, nobody has truly figured out how to beat vitali, his "losses" were stuff no betting man would consider losses during their research, only emotional fans scraping for dirt

vitali > wlad > lewis

wlad vs lewis would be closer than vitali vs lewis was, which was really just vitali beating on lewis before the cut then being denied a rematch, he straight up had his number and was a bad style matchup for him

Lewis Best Win >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Vitaly's best win....... GENERALLY HELD OPINION

Lewis Resume>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Vitali's resume....GENERALLY HELD OPINION

Lewis TKO 6 over Vitali.....FACT...

I guess Vitali should get the win over Bryd as well, even though he quit like a pathetic dog,

[sweetscience18]

Theres no way the Klits are better then Lennox by the time they got to the top Lennox had already beaten all true competition

Haye would be no competition for Lewis.
