Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Rejects $50 Mill For Klitschko, Wants Double

because he looked tired and looked like hew was about to go out, and the cut bailed him out. it was incredibly obvious why it was controversial

tko6... vitali didn't get cut practicing his English...tired, sleeping, awake, aroused it doesn't frigging matter. he punched his face into a bloody pulp. it was a 12 round fight & lennox was winning the last few rounds. since when was a fight 6 rounds? lennox may have shut him out the rest of the way, could have ko'd him & vitali could have done the same to lennox but that didn't happen... vitali was winning the fight early then lennox started bashing his face in until it was stopped. if vitali didn't use his face to block punches the fight could have been different but he chose to trade with the lion & the following result will forever be remembered as TKO6! let it go man!

LL-Wlad would definitely give the heavyweight division a much needed shot in the arm. Not a 100m shot, but definitely a shot. But after the initial excitement, the result would be bad for boxing. If Wlad wins, he becomes an even bigger joke. If LL somehow wins, it pretty much confirms that this decade long run the Klits have been on has been a joke. And sets the division back probably another decade because there will be even less interest (if possible) in the clowns who couldn't beat the pathetic Klits.

They could easily get a few big dogs to shell out some dough to make this happen. Get $10 million apiece from De La Hoya, Denzel, Magic Johnson, Jay-Z, Diddy, Tiger Woods, Mayweather, Jack Nicholson, LeBron, Stallone, Arnold etc. That's 11 right there. Done.

Why does he want Dollars instead of Euros? The US government is shutdown and the dollar is about to crash

[MrRolltide91]

I wonder who offer that

Lennox Lewis would probably fight Tyson Fury for a cool 88.5 million though.


Alright, who wants to chip in, I got a couple bucks but I may use one on a chicken sandwich at micky d's later tonight.

How was the Lennox-Vitali fight controversial?

Vitali started off well, surprised Lennox (as well as most fans - not me who predicted he'd do well. I was also at the fight), then Lewis figured him out, hurt him, cut him & he couldn't continue.

Nothing controversial unless you like to be hysterical about things.

An old Lewis then retired & Vitali went on to prove what an excellent fighter he was/is.

Many underestimated him because of the way he quit against Chris Byrd but he's smarter than the average boxer. He realised that one loss isn't the end of the world but f.ucking his shoulder up worse could be the end of his career.

Lennox also promised vitali a rematch then never fought again.

why would anyone want to see lewis-akwindada 2?

[Zeus Molecules]

This is sad on multiple levels:
1. Klitschko trying to fight an old retired Lewis
2. The fact that Lewis has good chance of winning after being retired for so long
3. Lewis is clearly trying to price himself out by asking for $100million

The Klitschko's need to retire so the younger fighters like Jennings or Wilder can have their shine or at least give them a shot.

I bet he'd sign the line for 70.
