    Must sting that a fat, old Lewis stopped a prime version of your hero and than sailed off into the sunset as planned. I'm sorry for your loss.

      Lennox Lewis wasn't looking good: slow, even clumsy at times

      With that said, although Vitali was the more active fighter , after he got hit by a beautiful uppercut he started to clinch at every given occasion. Regardless of the cut, it looked as if he was taking too much damage and spending too much energy.

      Although in bad shape, Lewis was starting to take control, unchareristically closing distance and forcing Vitali to brawl or even fight on the inside, where Lewis seemed to have a clear edge.

              No. One of the biggest myths in boxing.

                This really was a terrific fight, the last great heavyweight clash. Vitali whooped Lennox's ass the first two rounds, but it evened out the rest of the way. Both guys took some hellish punches.

                  it was a great fight. to say either guy dominated the other is just ridiculous. funny this topic never seems to die

                      Fact is Lewis took the fight on the cards.

                      All I can remember back in 2003 about Vitali was how he had choked against Byrd a couple of years earlier, so my expectations weren't sky high. Lewis, through hard work, skill, management, and timing had worked his way into becoming the "man" from around 1999-2003. So we were nearing the end of Lewis' salad years but the end wasn't in view yet.

                      Anyway, it came down to Vitali and his warrior heart and will that gave us something so rich to remember -an event full of drama, blood and guts. It really was one for the fans.

                      In my estimate, it's the last heavyweight fight worth remembering and debating, which is sad once you realize it took place back in June of 2003, over a decade ago...

                      Lewis won the fight. Vitali won the event!
