    Yep, tearing somebodies face off with punches intended to land and do damage is always a lucky escape!

      Not always, but in this case it was. Experts agreed on it, too.

        Yes, but ATG doesn't mean top 10. He's borderline. I think he's actually better than his brother. His resume isn't quit there though, as others have said.

          He was up on 3 judges score cards. Lennox landed a good uppercut in the middle of the 6th IIRC but I doubt it would have changed much.

            Ahh, so experts agree it wasn't a legit stoppage with Lewis landing the more damaging blows? Funny but I always thought championship fights were 12 rounds or until it was deemed the other fighter couldn't continue. Hmm, guess I've been wrong all these years, huh?

            By the way, still waiting for those links of ANY historians saying Vits is an ATG. I'm gonna be waiting a while, huh?

              Again, fights are 12 rounds or until the other guy can't go on. So being up on the cards is irrelevant.

                  Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

                  THE TRUTH

                  Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

                  Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round and almost got KO'd, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outboxed, outworked, outmuscled and outlanded by Vitali.

                  punches landed

                  Vitali 156

                  Lewis 102


                  Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

                  After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a *****.

                  All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.

                  Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

                  Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

                  Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

                  Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his ***** ass into retirement.

                  George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

                  Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

                  Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.

                  Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

                  Vitali wasn't even in his prime yet.

                  Lewis was 37, not really that old for a HW.

                  Vitali is 40 and is still dominating. He hasn't lost a single round in his comeback.

                  Lewis said he was "at the peak of my powers" when he got his ass whooped by Vitali.

                  Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

                  In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

                  Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement.

                  Vitali is a better fighter than Lewis.

                    In short~

                    That he lost his biggest career test~ but was otherwise dominant against I will be generous and say decent competition.

                      Its sad when you can't form your own arguments or back your own opinions but instead have to copy and paste someone elses played out crap from half a decade ago.
