Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Vitali is Better, I'd Knock Wladimir Out

[-Lowkey-]

i wouldn't have had a problem with him retiring if he would have KEPT IT REAL and said "yeah vitali got in my ass, and to be honest, I don't know if I could beat him in a rematch, so Im going to retire". Instead, he acts like a little ass kid and acts like he really did vitali in. . .

he tries to walk around like he LEGITIMATELY beat vitali. . .

I think you first need to understand the definition of the word legitimate.

Legitimate- Conforming to the law or to the rules.
Able to defend with logic or justification.

So yes Lewis’s win over Vitali was/is and always will be legitimate.

He did really do Vitali in look at the guys face.

Again as a great champion you have every right to walk away from the sport on top (I wish more boxers would do the same).

Lennox beat Vitali yes, BUT he should have granted him a rematch based on the circumstances.

1. Vitali landed more than TWICE the amount of punches.

2. Vitali won 4 of 6 rounds.

And like Foreman says: "boy, if it wasn´t for that eye..."

i think you need to learn to discriminate between formal and informal conversation, and take in context and apply to the definition of the word. . . obviously i meant legitimate in that it's not a win a real boxer should claim. . . Lennox Lewis straight bytched out. nothing more to it. . .

The guy is obviously deluded if he thinks Lennox didn't "do him in". Not sure what fight he was watching or what he thought he was watching, but clearly seeing what he wants to see.

You are taking the word out of its correct context it doesn’t really make sense.

‘Legitimate in that it's not a win a real boxer should claim.’ HUH!

It is a win it is legitimate simple facts get over them.

Yep often seems to be the case on these boards.

eh i don't care - all real boxing fans know what the deal is. lol even lewis knows what the deal is that's why ole boy retired and BYTCHED OOUUTTTT!

[prinzemanspopa]

With all due respect,Mr Lewis,you had more than enough time to prove your superiority over Wladimir while you were active.The fact that you never pushed for the fight leads me to believe that you weren't as confident in your ability to defeat Wladimir then as you seem to be now.


And to the knucklehead that thinks Lewis could emerge from an eight year hiatus,at age 46,and stand even a remote chance against Wladimir Klitschko - do yourself a favour and end your miserable life.Lewis would get slapped around by some average fringe contender at this point.

Why not???? Lennox threw the punches that caused the damage! It was done by his own hands, not his head, not by dodgy judging, or refs. Lennox caused the damage that lead to the stoppage. What the hell is wrong with that?????? Vitali's job was to block or evade punches, he didn't do it successfully against Lennox who did what he had to do, and forced the stoppage.

This is not a new scenario in boxing. Many fighters have won this way, and not got flack for it. You are just deluded.

paul williams win was technically "legitimate". however, in the eyes of REAL boxing fans its not.
