Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Talks Klitschkos, Heavyweights, More

Mr.Invincible' he is saying that Vitality payed Kirk to fake an injury so that he could step in to beat Lennox, and then he was going to give Kirk a chance to fight him after he beat Lennox. Which is what would have happen if not for his skin breaking down on him. I am sick and tired of Lennox with his delusional statements. No one is asking for his advice on how to beat Vitali because he didn't actually beat him. That is like asking Montell Griffin for advice on how to beat a prime Roy Jones.

Lennox is a straight up douchebag for bragging that he knows how to defeat Vitali. Lennox seems to forget that he was losing on the scorecards before the stoppage. So what kind of sage advice would he have told the Adamek camp? "Cut him and win by stoppage".....NO ****, Sherlock!!!

Now Lennox says he took Vitali on "ten days" notice!!! I seem to remember him grabbing the mic from Merchant and crying that he took the fight "two weeks notice". So what...like Vitali had a whole training camp preparing for Lennox?? Lennox ducked Vitali for a deserved rematch. He still brags that his best win was against a fat and mentally unstable Tyson. He is the worst commentator in the history of the sport. He's just a joke to me now.

Why on earth would Vitali pay Johnson to step in and fight Lennox? He was his mandatory for the following fight anyways. Vitali wasn't going to benefit from facing an atg on 10 days notice.

Lennox is low to claim this. This is the first time I've ever heard anything like that.

Vitali took Lennox to court to land a fight with him after the Tyson bout. I wouldnt be surprised if he stooped to paying someone off to get the fight.

Vitali had been preparing for LL for nearly two years so the 10 days was nothing to him.

is lewis punch drunk ? .. that seems unlikely. lews was lucky the fight
was stopped as vitali might have ended up knocking him out
as for johnson taking money thats a serious accusation
i'm sure vitali will respond with a lawsuit hahaha

lewis should let it go. vitali is becoming higher in the rankings
than he is ...

[rajul]

lewis has for some reason or other never liked the klitschkos

the reality is lewis was nowhere near ready to retire when he fought kiltschko

after that fight he retired ....

he has been wanting them to lose ever since .. from the corey sanders
fight etc....

he had a chance to rematch with vitali if he wanted it then ...

as we can see now vitali wasnt even in his prime then ..

[Joeyzagz]

Well Lennox has an 84' reach, thats the main reason he shouldt be giving Adamek advice.

LL landed 46% of his shots compared to Vitali's 36%. ANd on top of that LLs punches were harder and more effective. He beat Vitali fair and square.

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

THE TRUTH

Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outboxed, outworked, outmuscled and outlanded by Vitali.

punches landed

Vitali 156

Lewis 102


Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

After the fight, Vitali intimidated the shit out of Lewis and made him look like a bitch.

All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his bitch ass into retirement.



George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.

Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

Today, I know that Vitali paid him [to withdraw] so he could fight me. He told him 'don't fight him, I'll take this fight, and when I win you will get the opportunity in my first defense.' Kirk agreed, and I also took the challenge, but today I think I shouldn't have taken it on only ten days notice. He claims that he didn't lose, but if you want to be best in the world - you must have strength, you must be able to adopt to a strong punch, be able to fight and have the ability to close distance. Besides that, your skin shouldn't break so easily [talking about Vitali's cuts in the fight].

Strong accusations... If this is true, it would mean Vitali had a full training camp to prepare for Lennox and Lewis had just 10 days. SMH at the posters who are automatically calling bull**** as if they're insiders or have insider information.

[Sadistic]

why do people dog Lennox for not giving Vitali a rematch and retiring? U guys ***** when a legend stays in the game for too long and gets whooped, and if doesn't take the punching bag way you still talk ****. Lennox is a smart man, had a great career and stopped when he should've stopped.

A done Lennox lewis was still > prime Vitali. That's the bottom line.

******ed post

Vitali wasn't even in his prime yet and Lewis wasn't "done"

Lewis was 37, not really that old for a HW.

Vitali is 40 and is still dominating the HW division.

Lewis said he was "at the peak of my powers" when he got his ass whooped by Vitali.

Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement. FACT

[Joeyzagz]

Vitali is the only challenger who failed to beat the champion from the previous era. Young Marciano, Young Holmes and Young Dempsey did not get thrashed up like this.
