    Was just watching that .

    The stoppage was ***ing horrible. Lennox like Larry said

    EARNED THE RIGHT to at least finish as a champion. Regardless of weather or not Mccall ko him is not the issue.


    NOW PAY ATTENTION VITALI FANS.. PAY ATTENTION

    THIS is what the boxing world call 'a bad stoppage'

    not when your eye is falling out of your ***ing head and you are going blind.

      Yes. Lennox was wobbly but as WBC Heavyweight Champion, he should have been given the chance to continue

        Not so worst than the Juanma stoppage.

        His legs were gone.

          Agree, this bout needed Steve Smoger as the ref. Really bad stoppage, almost as bad as Corrales/Gainer.

              This ref is also the friend of Don King. Even Lamprey was pointing out how su****ious this all was. This ref was on Don's payroll. Just like the HOlyfield draw.

              Everyone was trying to *** Lennox over. The Holyfield draw was big time for Lennox. It effected Lennox's timeline much much more then one will think.

              This is the reason why


              Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield on March of 1999

              He was robbed by Don King and the judges


              If he had won the fight like everyone knew he did. He wouldn't need a rematch

              He can then go on calling out Tyson, Tyson in 99-00 was pass prime but not as shot as the version that did fight Lennox. Lennox woulda still KO him in 99.

              Finish Tua off as a grand finale. Call out the KBROS in early 2000, if they don't answer he retires. If they answer he KTFO them. Legacy changed.


              Honestly if Lennox wasn't rob against Holyfield and Mccall. Rahman would never have happen

              and we will be talking about a top 3 ATG

              instead of top 10ish

                I'm just looking at the state of the fighters at the time of the stoppage. Both all over the place and legs gone.

                Lewis is in a slightly better position because he got his hands up. But that was the beginning of the round. Lewis is going right back down if he allows it to continue.

                He could barely hold himself up. Let alone defend himself.

                  Lennox Lewis. The world tried to keep him down and try to make sure he is always 2nd fiddle to the Americans. But he refuse to play by the rules and still prevail as the best of his era. A true champion. Robbed by the devil Don King, mocked by the public during his era, under appreciated by his own countrymen. H2H the best HW of all time. Champion. Legend. LEGEND KILLER. Destroyer of all.

                  BOXING NEED ANOTHER LENNOX NOW. Not 5 years from now, not 'later' BUT NOW. Make it happen. Only wish Lennox got like a super freak athlete like one of the Wiliams sister pregnant when he was like 20. So now we can see a 25 year old Lennox Lewis JR beat up on the Kbros

                  The offspring of a Lennox Lewis serena williams pairing will literally KTFO Wlad and Vitali on the same night

                    Fair stoppage, but he could've continued.

                    It isn't that black and white.
