Should Vitali Klitschko be ashamed of himself?

[Bozo_no no]

The village idiot is back.

Yes you are back, and like the others that will follow, it's entertaining that this is the topic that has you crawling out from under the rock you've been hiding under.

I love how it's a it's a ****** thread etc, and yet it brings all of you cheerleaders running back.

You are a racist and a moron. Go back to selling bootlegged tapes on eBay and buying silky sheets for the money that you made from that. Not much of a life, if you ask me.

You're a nut hugger, and you know it. I like how you commented on how the thread was ******, yet it's the only one you've posted in today.



Aside from the fact he TKO'd him, it's no suprise you'd say that because you were watching with giddy bias.

Vitali was taking a terrible beating, and the fact Lewis landed at 50% of his punches (being one of the hardest hitting heavies of all time) is a telling stat. Vitali looked weak and lost in the last round, and didn't throw a single punch in the last 30 seconds. Go back and have a look.

There's no way he was going to continue eating those kind of shots.

LOL, so you just went and searched somehow to see what other threads I've posted in today? ROFL Obsessed much?

We have two different views. I saw Lennox get hurt in the fight by Vitali's punches, but never saw Vitali hurt by Lennox's, and I saw Lennox losing the fight and needing to win almost every remaining round to win the fight.

Then I saw Lennox, who went into the fight with a 3 fight plan, change his mind and turn down 20 mil rather than face Vitali again, and decide to retire for good.

Tell me what I saw that's wrong....

[Derranged]

He did well early vs Lewis, but as the fight went on his face took a terrible beating. He stood toe to toe with Lewis and traded shots, and that was his undoing.



Some of you need to get a clue.

I cant believe some people think the fight should have continued after the 6th round.

How difficult was it to notice the only posts you'd made upon coming to the forum today were in a thread you labeled worthless from the start? Less time that it takes for you to write one of your self justification essays.

That's because like the rest of the fanatics here, you saw him absorb shots like this:



and figured because he didn't go down that he could just keep walking through anything, ignoring the fact his face got into mud pie, and had him waltzing right into your mind and a fantasy points win or late round KO.

The bottom line is he did well early, and then the strategy of taking shots to give them saw his plan turn for the worse. The shots Lewis landed were taking their toll, and if you don't think that would have made a differnce had the fight gone on, then you're more biased and deluded than I thought.

Fighters say a lot of things, as do there fans. Take for example Vitali's plan to unify titles, establish himself a noteworthy legacy, and to never give up his WBC title. That didn't go so well either, did it.

He has nothing to be ashamed of, but he certianly fell short of what he and his rabid fans suggested what he'd acomplish in a wide open division. He beat two out of shape fringe contenders over 18 months, gave up his title and retired.

He lost the two most significant fights he was in, and is nowhere near Hall of Fame worthy.

But if he is too injured for Rahman, why is he healthy enough for Lewis?

Because injuries heal? Surely you knew that. if they didn't human life-expectancy would be much lower.

I think in retiring what he did was quite honorable. He could have asked for another postponement, but he chose to clear the path. He could have fought injured, collected millions of dollars and lost, but that would have ruined his (albeit small) legacy. he could have fought injured and won, but exacerbated the injury and wound up retiring anyway, ths time as a cripple.

As for Lewis, we will never know if that statement is true, but it could well be. He was gaining ground in that fight, and may have gone on to win. The stoppage on cuts was certainly fair. If Lewis had not retired, there was no way he could have avoided a rematch, and whether he was winning or not, Big Klit was giving him the toughest fight of his life and hurting him in that match. Would you want to go through that again if you already had millions and didn't need to?

Chris Byrd isthe one he should have been ashamed of. The only chance he had to lose that fight would have been to be KOd by Byrd, and we all know that wouldn't have happened. He could have fought one-handed for the last couple of rounds. And before the apologists start, yes, I've had a toen rotator cuff, and I continued working with a jackhammer throughout. It took months to heal becuase of it, but I have no permanentinjury as a result. He could have made 6 more minutes.

To sum up Bozo's post- "No, I can't tell you you're wrong."

Hehe. Same ol Bozo. Here's the part where you run and leave me bad K and call me a nuthugger (like anyone who happens to disagree with you) for the 100th time.

Yeah, your gif perfectly substantiates my post. You picked out the best punch Lennox landed, his Sunday Punch, a huge uppercut, and Vitali handled it with little problem. That was the EXACT point of my post. Thanks for outsmarting yourself. LOL

You think Lennox was going to either KO Vitali, even though he never showed he could hurt him, or pitch a shutout in the 2nd half of the fight to squeak out a win. I simply disagree. I think those two scenarios were unlikely. He won and it was a legit win, yes, but without that freak tear/slice with the side of the glove, Lennox loses.

And of course, you change the subject to try and put Vitali down when I point out Lennox abandoned his 3 fight plan and walked away from 20 mil rather than have to fave Vitali again. That's the telling fact in the fight, actually. It sums it up perfectly.

[gandhalf]

a disgrace for boxing?..the worst HW champ ever?
Certainly not.
Extremely disappointing? YES.
Being innactive for months and then announcing retirement. That's a ****ty way to go.

Whatever Vitali was worth, He had the potential to be more important in the boxing hw scene. But He never bothered to.

Thanks for your honesty.
I think his age and physical condition retired Lewis.
