Could Lennox Lewis be the greatest ?

[Deal With It]

The "greatest" what? He's not even the best Heavyweight of his era.

The greatest British-Canadian Heavyweight of all time? Sure.

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

THE FACTS

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 and almost got KO'd, 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.

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.

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.

More FACTS

Vitali wasn't even in his prime yet.

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

Vitali is 40 and is still dominating. He hasn't lost a single round in his comeback.

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"

Lewis is a coward, a ducker, and a fraud.

Vitali Klitschko >>> Lennox Lewis

Wladimir Klitschko >>> Lennox Lewis

The greatest British-Canadian Heavyweight of all time? Sure.

Holyfield ? he is as great as they come, but he did lose to Lewis coming off beating Tyson and avenging his loss to Moorer

after that, it was all down-hill

Lewis would never have lost to Toney, Ruiz, Byrd... or Larry Donald IMAO

nah, for him it's not **** riding, it's a full time job for which he doesn't get a buck

obviously, he don't care

[IronDanHamza]

No, he couldn't.

There is no logical arugment for Lennox Lewis to be the #1 HW of all time. None.

i hate lewis , i never liked him at all but he did beat everybody hes faced, everyone loses to a fighter eventually and he proved to mc call and rahman that he is far more superior than what theyd ever be, im american cause i was born in the U.S but over here, they will always state a american is the greatest everything regardless of its true or not, lewis is arguably greater than any heavyweight in boxing history

Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

Doesn't that mean Lewis took the fight on 10 days notice as well?

Your right punchstats always are accurate and prove who won the fight.

No shame in struggling to beat a pretty damn good big HW. At the point of the stoppage who looked to be in worse shape? Vitali was tiring badly and face was hamburger.
Lewis seemed to have weather the storm and gained his second wind.

Was Lewis ever cheered in the states?

If you feel you are slipping or don't have the desire, why continue to fight. Retired on top and rich and stayed gone. If he was scared he woulda pulled a Mayweather and came outa "retirement " when coast was clear.


Heavyweight title fight is 12 rounds not 5 and a half. Vitali can win 3 or 4 out of first 6 but as we know that don't win you the fight.


I really liked Lewis, he wasnt the greatest HW of all time but give him credit he was damn good and borderline top 10 all time HW.
