Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Shreds Klitschkos' Opponent, Heavyweights

[Jam Jars]

Klitchko ended Lewis's career even though he won by TKO. Lennox, the Klitchko's are the most boring fighter's of our decade, but you had no answer for your Klitchko. Guess that early stoppage because of the cut saved you.

Nope it saved Vitali that's why it was stopped.

So was Lewis 40 years old when he fought a prime Briggs. A prime Briggs was more willing to throw punches there for was more likely to get caught. Do you honestly think that the Klits would've had problems with Botha or Golota with his lack of heart. Grant was way too green for Lewis nd never really was a fighter just a good athelete. In all honesty Grant's probably more well rounded now.

A prime Briggs was'nt as big as the Briggs that Klitschko fought. He was more athletic when he fought Lewis and he did'nt have such a thick neck. Having a thick neck like he does now would help him absorb punches better.

botha & wlad had a decent fight but yes botha was outgunned but never backed down from either & if golota used that good jab & nailed wlad with same punches he hit bowe with wlad would not have got up. grant had some very good wins including a get off the canvas win vs golota. briggs was a punching bag & with that "thick neck" he tasted the canvas vs jameel mccline...

the facts?

Lewis was just as prepared for his fight with Vitali as he was for his first fight with Rahman, that being said, he also took the fight on a 2 week notice, same for vitali obviously. If the Well preared version on Lewis showed up, I mean the one that was ready for Tyson and the Rahman rematch, Vitali would have tasted the canvas enroute to a brutal KO.

That is entirely Lennox's job to make sure he shows up in shape. Vitali thought he was fighting some can, he has a busted knee and cant even run long distances but still did not show up fat. If "in shape" or "motivated" or "focued" or "super saiyan" Lewis could beat Vitali so easy, he should have got his ass in shape and made $50 million for the rematch.

have you ever seen a guy get more credit for getting his face bashed in? fights are 12 rounds not 6 & so what vitali was leading so was michael moorer vs george foreman...he would have lost his eye or not have seen the big rights coming once it's closed but this is like a broken record talking to klitschko fans...alls i know is the 2 best fighters vitali fought he is 0-2(byrd & lewis) in the year 2056 no one will see anything but TKO6 & TKO9...

You honestly believe Lewis would have made $50 million?

that "can" he was fighting was cedric boswell...fighting vitali klitschko was a huge letdown after fighting holyfield twice & tyson...im sorry but couldnt blame him for calling it a day. couldnt get motivated anymore...he wasnt going to make 50 million...lol! my ass HBO was going to pay him that & it seems only the klit fans make up these ridiculous numbers...he was not going to get paid more fighting vitali then he got fighting tyson or holyfield...lol get over it people it's 2012...if the division doesn't suck then why are the Kbros not on HBO anymore after so many years of being on the telecast?

Lewis - ATG.


That said, you can't blame the Klitschkos. They could, however, make their fights against low-level opposition aesthetically pleasing.
