Lennox vs Vitali..... The numbers clearly show

[RespekonMyName]

What uppercut are you talking about. At the very end of a rd Klitschko walked Lewis right across the ring holding close whilst Lewis was VERY ineffectively trying to uppercut him, with no power because both arms were locked. To a judge this means nothing. The rest of the rd Klitschko was dominating, ahd just played out the last few seconds whilst Lewis was in desperation trying to land something.

Did you never hear that "one swallow does not a summer make"........

He's talking about the most savage punch of the fight. Lewis TKO6 Klitschko.

Lewis legacy > Vitali and Wlad's combined legacies.

That point was discussed in his pre-fight talk I believe, about that he might feel he should come in a bit heavier since Klitscho was so big. hat may have been in the interview where he said that he always said he's have "one Klitschko for breakfast and the other for lunch, but as someone has already taken his breakfast he's going to have the other one for lunch.

Also that Klitschko had never fought anyone like him, a "pugilist specialist" Lewis called himself. Not swelled-headed at all, was he??

Does ANYONE remember this.....eh???

I find it HIGHffinlarious that Vitali gets discredited because Lewis supposedly didn't train or come into shape as somehow that's a blesssing & enhances his resume as look what he would've done to Vitali if he was in better shape... not Coming INTO shape for a title fight should lower your legacy as you certainly didn't bring it in the fight or in the gym but accorDing to there warped minds it's a blessing in disguise & actually enhances Lennox's legacy. Where's the credit for Vitali Klitschko coming within 3 lbs of his average weight for the majority of his career?

Just shows how much more dedication he has to his craft. GET THIS HATERS... LEWIS COMING INTO A HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP over weight in A SHOWDOWN WITH A KIRK JOHNSON OR VK is his own damn fault ..it's his bad ONLY so let's stop pretending it's Vitali's burden.. he only worked with what was in front of him & this was a Lennox Lewis coming off 2 dominating performances ktfo Rahman & Tyson in succession.. took a year off as well to give his body a rest.. let's cut the bs here!

ah. i see.

check about 1:50 ownwards or so in round 5. big george was saying how he didnt know why the ref let that holding and hitting happen. lewis clearly cuffing klitschko and landed about a dozen body shots. all illegal.

btw, watching again i notice how much lewis held on, and was very sneaky to land punches in and coming immediately off of a clinch. bad form.

lennox isnt exactly a clean fighter. never known to be.

The holding & hitting was most of Lennox' s best landed punches.. he benefitted because Vitali wasn't used to being tied up on the inside & his opponent be so close to him. He held his own but allowed Lennox to hit him on the inside while both were in a clinch.. that holding & jabbing to the body was outrageous.. Vitali just took it & then finally tried to unleash a bomb on him when that body barrage was over.

Vitali was bullying Lennox around the ring for the most part but naturally stopped fighting while they were tied up & got caght with sucker punches... including one that blasted the cut wide open & the final sequence with 10 seconds left on the clock. Vitali showed his inexperience in that regard & paid for it with unanswered & most importantly unnecessary shots on the inside.

There's no point in trying to have a discussion with one like you. I suppose that you believe that the larger the print, the larger the shout, that everyone all over the world will understand Englsih if you shout it loudly enough etc...

I'd much rather talk to that girl in your picture.

Lennox Lewis is a Gold Metalist who unified the belts and has beaten everyone hes faced in the pros, including Vitali Klitschko.

Lol @ that widely hyped myth... just like all of you's disregard VITALI'S NUMBERS... this is more of a laughable gliche on his record. He didn't really beat Vitali... he certainly didn't REALLY beat Mccall & some say Mercer actually beat him.. these 3 w's on Lewis resume are even less believable than Vitali's two losses being legitimate losses.. In other words you can make a stronger case that Vitali was the actual winner in his losses than Lewis was the actual winner in those victories mentioned.

[edgarg]

absolutely agree. he might have had his best round in rnd 5 or 6. its been a while since i watched. but i could see a case made that lewis didnt win more than 1 round out of 6.

Yes, I've watched that fight at least 6-8 times over the years, and always came out with the same opinuon, that I coudn'r really figure out which 2 rounds that Lewis was supposed to have won

I only became interested in watching the Klitschkos after listening to the Lewis post fight interview. And I thought, what a lousy sport. And my habit is to research and take everything into consideration, especially "behind the scenes stuff. And I have an almost photographic memory which rarely lets me down. I've been involved as a boxer and a watcher for many more years than I like to admit, and really don't go in for this "fan" stuff. I like a good, well matched up fight, with the best man winning, no matter whom. Even Hopkins, whom I definitely can say is the only fighter I dislike.

Okay so what I said was actual facts and you came bacj with excuses..excuses dont get you higher rankings on the ATG list and Lennox deserves to be right above Vitali

That's exactly how he KO'd Michael Grant, unbeaten at the time and expected to do great things. He just wasn't ready for fouling from thr World champ, Lennox the "gentleman".
Lewis grabbed him around the neck, forced his head down and uppercutted him at the same time, Grant went down, and was thereafter easy to KO.

And NO ONE ever said a word.....except ME.......repeatedly.

Thanks a lot, yeah I see what you mean, I never thought Lennox was a clean fighter, but then I dont many are really.
