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

I have always liked Lennox, but this savors of sour g****s to me. No one is forgetting Lewis, so I don't know why he is playing this game of one-upmanship. He's still the last guy to unify the Heavyweight Title.

Almost died laughing when i read that.
If his brother who people consider better got beat by an old out of shape Lewis then what would happen to Wlad against a prime in shape Lewis? Wlad is nowhere near as good as Lewis. He would of shat himself if he fought the likes of fighters like Tyson!

Hasim Raham was one of the biggest fluke punches ive ever seen and in the rematch Lewis came in much lighter and gave him a boxing lesson he will never forget. After the fight Hasim admitted that Lewis was too good for him, he beat the respect into him.
Wlad lost to bums, and never had the heart to rematch...weak man
Ha ha ha, come back here after Haye gets annihilated like Bruno.Last edited by Mr. Invincible; 07-02-2011, 08:35 PM.

I'll sum up all the love of Lewis being a "great" champion : Hindsight is 20/20 . Nuff said.

Makes sense now, Lennox is scared of being forgotten. And i thought Lennox was rooting for Haye cause of some black thing. Lennox shouldnt worry, Wlad is great but will always be compared to Lewis as an example. Similar to Kobe Bryant and Jordan, both are Great, so why complain

Originally posted by Mr. Invincible View PostI agree with this. Wlad only got knocked down by flashes or exhaustion. Lennox got flat out sparked by two journeymen.
As far as Vitali. He was going to stop Lennox. Hence, no rematch. Lennox knew it and so did his mamma. Lewis turned down a gauranteed 25 million for that fight. Anyone who does that is not very confident with victory. I bet Emanuel Steward told him not to face Vitali again too.
Vitali is probably the most talented heavyweight in terms of a complete package than there has been since probably Lennox Lewis himself and Joe Louis. You just can't really point out a major weakness anywhere in his game.
Heads up, Vitali would destroy Wladimir. Sorry to say.

Originally posted by edgarg View PostYes they both took the fight on short notice....BUT....... Lewis held up the Promoters for several mill extra to fight Klitschko, I heard 6 mill extra. Did you know THAT??
Lets just look at the "short notice". Lewis was in TOP SHAPE (as he said himself) because he was fighting the No. ONE Contender Kirk Johnson who was really unbeaten. His record was 33-1. The "loss" was a fake DQ against Ruiz when Ruiz was well beaten and faked the foul. I saw that fight, and all the commentators were agreed that Ruiz faked it.
Klitschko was to fight a 10 rounder with a no-name called Dave Bostice (I think correct me if in error). After the fight, Lewis was FORCED into agreeing to give Klitschko a rematch, and the 6th Dec 2003 was reserved for that fight. THEN....Lewis, to protect his fans, he said, insisted that Klitschko travel all the way to London to have his eye checked with his, Lewis's eye specialist. Klitschko's eye had healed within 2 weeks, in fact after 10 days the cut was invisible, and he went on TV just to show this.
But Lewis still wouldn't complete the deal, and in fact Klitschko fought Lewis's original opponent Kirk Johnson on that reserved Dec.6th date instead of Lewis. When Lewis saw Klitschko absolutely devour Johnson in a rd and a half, he must have known he had no chance in a rematch, so strung it out until April 2004, and came under commission pressure to defend against Klitschko.....so he RETIRED.
That's the whole, truthful, story, well documented. There's much more to a fight than just the result.
You know guys, I really get fed up having to go over the same stuff all the time for new ignoramuses. Why the hell don't they learn something before they begin posting.
i can say both lewis and vitali were wobble din the fight, in the early round vitali got lewis shaken up a few times, and towards the end lewis had him wobbling, i remmeber it clearly, then the fight was stopped because of big kilts weak skin.
either way lewis was to old and unfit to be in the ring in the first place and he scrapped like a 25 year old, that was not good for a man his age. he proved how overrated vitali was, who should have been able to beat a old man.
