Vitali Klitschko has lost fewer rds than ANY boxing champion in the history of boxing

Even if he lost lets not pretend that was some conclusive ending and Lewis proved himself to be a superior fighter that night.

Lewis didn't prove himself to be the superior fighter and it wasn't conclusive, but it was a loss and in all likelihood would have been very conclusive had the fight been allowed to go on.

You have to be a masochist to make this same damn thread on a weekly basis.

too bad he got stopped when he stepped up his competition...


if an over the hill past prime Lewis did this

Dumbest post of the thread.

You do know or really should know that a 37 year-old (not 38) Lewis, coming off the Tyson win and saying he would keep on fighting for a long time, with Emanuel Steward in his corner, was losing every round against Vitali until he managed to luckily cause a cut. This doesn't give any indication of what a "prime" Lewis would have "done to him". This fight was no indication of the superiority of skill or talent of either fighter at all. Any Lewis-Vitali matchup is a 50/50 fight.

Fact: Out of 45 opponents, no one has ever managed to dominate or outscore Vitali Klitschko, with only 2 men defeating him under lucky circumstances (Lewis) or with complete luck (Byrd).

It's a great feat for Vitali there is no doubt about that.

But you have to take into account the level of opposition.

What exactly is lucky about throwing a punch which is meant to do damage and than landing it? For that matter, what is luck about slipping a punch and making the other guy miss? In both cases it Vitaly's fault he lost. For Lewis it was because he was unable to get out of the way and his body couldn't take it, meaning the cut. For Byrd he just quit. Everyone says that even if he lost the last 3 rounds he would have won the fight. Was he going to get knocked out if he continued?

Like I said, they were both legitimate wins, but under lucky circumstances. No matter how good your defense is, you are not going to avoid all punches, some will go through, and one of them caused the cut which is a case of luck (you don't learn how to cause cuts in training camp). The Byrd fight was even more of an luckier escape. Vitali was leading on all scorecards, and feather-fisted Byrd couldn't even knockout an 80-year-old Vitali.

With all due respect my man, I don't believe in luck. Lennox meant to do damage and he did. Byrd meant to avoid the punch and he did. It was Vitaly's own body that betrayed him, not luck, the doctors or anything else, and that is part of the sport....durability. He could have gone on against Byrd but he chose to quit. He didn't need to use the arm and you're saying Byrd couldn't knock him out, so him quitting isn't luck it's him not wanting to fight on.

Why did Ali fight Alfredo Evangelista bro?

Id rather have a fighter quit due to a fluke injury then one cheat to beat 185 lbs Henry Cooper or get knocked down by Chuck Wepner...a man famous for bleeding who said "I was ranked eigth in the world and when I fought Ali, it was the first time I trained full time." yep...part time boxers in the 70's were knocking down Ali and going 15 rounds and getting title shots...what a joke that period was.
