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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Not really, because he was easily beating Byrd and after that Wlad imediately fought him and took the belt. I do think that the rematch would have happened anyways if Vitali had not retired the first time but that is history.

I guess Vitali retired to avoid the rematch.

Awful article - author is obviously a huge hater of the Klitschkos. To say "he knocked out Vitali Klitschko in the sixth round in a title defense" is ridiculous. Lewis stopped him on cuts, TKO'ed him, but he wasn't even close to knock him out. If Lewis knocked Vitali out, then Cris Byrd did exactly the same thing - he knocked him out (cold) too, according to this author. What an idiot!

Than again, Lewis isn't much better - he was a great fighter (not on Ali or Louis level, but definitely top-10 of all time IMO), but he is jealous. He shouldn't say they are boring considering the fact he had a lot of boring fights as well.

butt hurt much? the author called it exactly what it was nimrod. learn to read

just like how vitali failed against Lennox

Oooooooooooooooo, nice comeback lol

The difference

between Lennox Lewis boring and Wlad boring is simple

Go watch the Tua fight.

That was a ***ing boring fight of Lennox. Go watch any boring Wlad fight.

Lennox just seem to be more slick, like he seem to be more agile and more athletically eye pleasing. From his entrance in the Tua fight to the way he moves. I duno

can someone explain to me
why
lennox lewis
look more slick then Wladimir Klithscko

why can't wlad bob and weave like Lennox when he come out to entrance music

The point is Vitali didn't have to go through a Jerry Quarry to earn a title fight. Vitali only had to win the one fight to win the title based on the status given to him by the sanctioning body, ali had to beat 2 very good boxers.

Ali didn't either, he chose to. Had he desired a title fight right away he would have gotten it. I do however get the point that Ali was not officially a champion emeritus.

Vitali should've come back and fought Byrd, and avenged his own loss, and let Wlad continue on the path he was on ... which was a fight with Lewis.

Vitali had plenty of opportunities to fight Byrd. I don't know why he didn't. Like someone mentioned before, they both held titles at the same time after Lewis retired.

Wlad managed to find time to fight Byrd TWICE after Byrd defeated Vitali, but Vitali never got around to it?

Not fighting Byrd again and avenging his loss was probably the second worst career decision Vitali ever made, (quitting against Byrd when he was way ahead being the first) because I think he would've defeated Byrd easily.

I love Wlad
Vitali saved Wlad's life by fighting Lennox. That version of Lennox would have killed wladimir

You have some of the most flimsy arguments Ive ever seen.

Taking a champion by his word isn't exactly flimsy.

[Mr. Invincible]

Actually Jameel McCline wiped his ass with Sam Peter, too. I think McCline had Peter down two or three times, didn't he? But McCline's such a scrub he couldn't finish him.

That was a hell of a fight that was competitive and Peter won so I would hardly call that wiping his a55 by McCline. Peter didn't win a second of any round vs. Vitali just as a reminder.

[Mr. Invincible]

Lennox has been retired for almost 9 years, he's not coming back and winning a title at 46-47 dude.
