    .
    Johnson went low plenty of times in that fight.

    Did Ruiz embellish? Maybe.

    But Johnson went low multiple times...just as he did against Al Cole.

    Cortez did a bad job in the fight, he mishandled the end of the 9th when Ruiz had Johnson hurt.

        With someone who says "Vitali just had his number"?

        No, I have no interest in engaging someone who spouts off something like that.

        Troll elsewhere.

          Larry Merchant has never boxed and doesn't know what it is like to be in a match with a serious injury like that. With that said, my point still stands, without injury or cuts Lennox Lewis would lose to Vitali 10 out of 10 times, and he knows it. That's why he reacted the way that he did after the fight, he finally fought a fighter that he knew that he couldn't beat.

            I don't think Lewis was shot but I don't think he was in very good shape. I also think he realized what kind of torture he would need to put himself through to stay on top of Wlad and Vitali and he just wasn't up to it and retired.

              I'm not trolling anything, it's the truth, when you can't outbox a guy nor can you knock him out, what else can you possibly do to beat him other than an injury, dq, etc?

                He's 1 out of 1 in reality.

                  THIS^^^

                  Vitali is just a better+stronger boxer than Lewis imo.

                  I don't think any version of Lewis could have beat the best Vitali under any normal circumstances.

                  That is a fact.

                  And everyone knows it

                    You say I'm the troll, yet you troll my post by taking my quote out of context, why not post the whole quote? "With that said, my point still stands, without injury or cuts Lennox Lewis would lose to Vitali 10 out of 10 times"

                      TKO6. That is the only fact.
