Vitali Klitschko is 6-0

[beez721]

It was so close by the end of the 6th round.. the scorecards was meaningless. For hardcore Lewis fans who watched the fight numerous times.. we can tell you that there was actually a swing round or two.. which could realistically make the cards 3-3 or 4-2 Lewis.. It really doesn't matter.


The fact of the matter is: old shot corpse version of Lennox Lewis stopped Prime Vitali in 6 rounds.


Prime Lennox Lewis will utterly and completely beat up Prime Vitali.

I wish to God the fight had continued so Vitali's eye falls out.. this way we can all hear about how Lennox made Vitali blind.

lol,,saying he was a shot corpse is every bit as ****** as saying lewis was at his peak and in good condition. he was coming off an impressive showing against tyson. its not like he looked terrible in previous fights. he was a bit past his best and not in his best shape. end of story

The Tyson fight was over a year before the Vitali fight. Lewis had basically come out of retirement.

one year layoff isnt that big a deal. hell vitali came back impressively after 4 years off. anyway,,I know lewis was past his best but he wasnt a shot fighter. I think even the biggest lewis supporters know this deep down but are sick of hearing from the klit huggers

Everyone ages differently.

Lewis was not interested in running and losing the weight and getting fit since Rahman.

Vitali took 4 years off when the only guy he'd ever fought that was truly top class was Lewis. He hadn't had a long hard career. Vitali came back after 4 years with plenty left to prove.

Lewis had nothing left to prove and only came back for a paycheque or two.

Now you can't even check his age properly. Fluke cut... btw, it was cuts. As in plural. Not cut.

Lennox wasn't past it, I didn't bother to do math on his exact age when he and Vitali fought. I know it was 36 or 37. Either way, it's petty because he was not shot as some of you like to throw out there. That's an easy cop out to undermind Vitali's beating him then losing on a cut. Oh, and yes, the singular cut that stopped the fight was the larger one above the eye. The cut under his eye had no bearing on his vision. Try watching the fight, then talking ****.

Pianeta stunk so much you, a Klitschko fan girl can't even spell his name correctly.

Who gives two ****s how to spell his name? You knew who I meant right? That's all that matters. At leasy he had not lost to a dozen club fighters before his title shot.

Plus, I know guys like you..

No, you have no clue who I am. This is the internet, tough guy. If you knew me in person, this conversation wouldn't have lasted this long.

You take one look at their record and think they're ****. Wepner wasn't that good, but both him and Chuvalo were tough sons a b!tches. As Chuvalo used to say: "I may have tasted defeat, but I never tasted the canvas".

Oh, now I get it. As long as you don't get knocked down, you're still an awesome fighter even if you lose a dozen fights to club fighters? Ahh, okay. I'll try and remember that one. I've been looking at this all wrong this whole time. That must mean the Kevin Johnson win for Vitali and then Fury was just uber impressive. He has never been down either.

The point being, just because they are durable, don't make them good fighters. They were bums in that era and would be today as well.

Plus, didn't Wlad lose to a guy with more than 20 losses on his résumé? Whoops. I didn't just pull that out did I? Yes I did.

Listen to yourself, you sound like a kid getting all upset and on the playground & stuff.

Not that it matters but when Wlad was beaten by him, he had 14 losses.
Even then, it was like the Brewster fight and was more of a stamina thing than actually getting beaten by a better fighter. Wlad was in total control until he ran out of steam. That's common boxing knowledge.

In closing , I would like to say it was good bickering with you, but in good concious, I can't. It's horrible talking to somebody that you simply can't talk and reason into. It always leads to a dead end.

-the last word.

since turning 38, the same age Lennox Lewis was "too old" to honor a rematch with him.

For those who don't know, Klitschko and Lewis fought June of 2003 at the Los Angeles Staples Center, and Lewis won by a controversial stoppage after the 6th round.

During the fight, Klitschko had Lewis in serious trouble in both the 2nd and 3rd rounds, and was leading on all three judges scorecards 4 rounds to 2. Further more, Klitschko had a decisive edge in punch stats, landing significantly more jabs, power punches, and total punches.

Further more, the general perception of analysts and ringside observers was that Lewis was lucky to avoid defeat in this contest:

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

"A lucky escape for Lennox Lewis, who was clearly losing the fight." -- Jim Lampley

After the fight, both fighters, analysts, and the fans in general started clamouring for, and even demanding, a rematch:

"I'm happy to give him a rematch because I will bust up the other side of his face as well." -- Lennox Lewis

"I proved tonight that I can beat Lennox Lewis. I want a rematch." -- Vitali Klitschko

With his own verbal commitment to a rematch, and all the pressure from the media and fans to provide one, Lennox Lewis, who had designs on fighting for several more years, was faced with a dilemma:

Rematch or retire.

Despite Lewis earlier indications that he intended on continuing his career for some time, his tune now changed and he was leaning more toward retirement.

Even with all the negative publicity that Lewis suffered as a result of this fight, and the significant amount of money he stood to make in a rematch (reportedly as much as 40 million dollars), Lewis opted to retire and not risk another tough fight with the physically superior Klitschko.

Lennox Lewis was 38 years old at the time.

Vitali Klitschko has now fought 4 years past that age, has over 10 title defenses of a major world title, and has become one of boxing's most envied, loved, hated, and richest fighters in the world.

Life is good for Vitali Klitschko, even if he couldn't get Lewis back in the ring to settle the score.

only read the title and not the drivel ... so in response to the title I'll just say whats better 6-0 versus a collection of has beens and never weres. Or 1-0 versus vitali Klitschko?

gee ... that's a hard one ....

so for the slow amongst ye ... i.e. most of ye ... what's better? Lewis's post 37 year old career or Vitali's?

[Twako]

im a neutral fan. i had vitali edging lewis at stoppage and was hugely disappointed there was no rematch.

You didn't read the material and yet you know what it was all about.

Try being honest first and then we'll talk. That's really the problem all Klitschko haters have, by the way.

I don't hate them, indeed I recognize that wlad especially is the man right now and I quite enjoy watching their fights when they have decent opponents ... I just don't have their ****s in my mouth and try to make out that they are gods ... unlike you. Of course for nuthuggers like you me saying I recognize that they are good isn't good enough ... truth is the the Klits would be far more popular around here if their nuthuggers stopped making alts trying to claim they are something they are not and calling anyone who doesn't think they are the GOATS haters.

please try to respond to this calling me a hater since I've just said they are good and i like watching them fight and so expose your own bias you twat...
