    No, he was actually winning both fights. He actually won the first McCall fight because he was up on the cards and wanted the fight to continue when it was stopped.

    The difference is Lewis pursued rematches of fights he lost. That is what champions who want to be remembered as great do.

      I can think of another fighter being ahead before being stopped


      As I said earlier, there's plenty of examples of fighters not revenging a loss and still made the IBHOF.

        There very well could be. But how many of them were ranked together in the top 10 for a number of years together and didn't get rematched?

        People like to use the brothers as one to excuse rematches not happening, saying there was no need because the other brother beat him. This is a line of crap and you know that Bat.

          Don't know how many. I think Mina was along with Foster. Probably also Maxim along with Patterson. There's likely others. I don't think that's a criteria for IBHOF selection though.

          I havent used the brother excuse so point that finger in another direction.

            I've already explained the Mina-Foster case the last time you brought it up, I have to look into Maxim-Patterson though.

            I wasn't pointing the finger at you. With all due respect my friend, you do turn a blind eye when it is used though.

              Lennox Lewis was far more robbed against Mccall then Vitali against Lewis. LEWIS MADE THE ****ING COUNT OK. HE got counted out because the ref was in don king's pockets. Even Jim Lamprey was saying 'wow this ref is KNOWN to work for Don King and is Don's close friend'


              Also Lewis was robbed against Holyfield the first time. If he wasn't robbed Rahman would never have happened. I don't want to write out the parrall time line that would have occurred if people didn't *** Lewis over

              but the bottom line is

              technically Lewis never lost and beat everyone

              Also Wladimir use to fight on Lewis undercards, I just felt itwas interesting because a sky sports interview said Wladimir use to hide out in a corner and watch Lennox Spar and shower and shyt lol. That's funny

                In round 4 Vitali proved his vision was fine by maintaining the same accuracy he held in the early rounds and by protecting himself. THis is why he was initially allowed to continue with such a nasty gash.

                But in round 6 his accuracy fell off a cliff and he was getting hit on the left side of his face without punching back. Whether this was due to lack of vision, exhaustion, or the uppercut, nobody knows.

                The bottom line is the gash was growing not shrinking and Lennox was landing More, while Vitali was landing less. The right call was made.


                Disagree.

                Why do you still refuse to answer my question?

                    Bro, what are you on about??? Lewis avenged his defeats but he still LOST, irrespective of being up on the cards at the time of the stoppages.

                    You've been hanging out in too many Klitlicking threads. You are using the exact same lame excuse as they do.
