Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis: Joshua Can Be Great - But Not Better Than Me

[Chaos]

Who cares who was winning on the scorecards. When your face looks like Vitali's did, you're done.

Wasn't one of the Ali fights against Cooper where Cooper had knocked Ali down just before the bell to end the round, and the Ali camp used time wasting tactics to extend the time between rounds to give Ali time to recover?

Lewis knew he got lucky with the doctor stopping it cause of a cut, so he bītched out on a rematch and retired instead. Pathetic. He got put to sleep by journeymen. Pathetic. He fought overweight Tua like a scared bītch even though he had a 7 inch height advantage and 14 inch reach advantage LOL. Pathetic.

Ali's competition would've ****d his ass like a prison bītch.

Yeah but he quit & lost twice. His resume is garbage compared to Lennox. The list of fighters Vitali didn't fight in his era is pretty massive. Vitali took the easy route to get to the top. How can you rate him higher than Lewis when he got stopped by him & quit against Chris Byrd. He is 0-2 against the best 2 guys he faced. Make excuses all you want to help you sleep at night but Wladimir has had a better career than Vitali. Vitali feasted on Euro-level fighters & lost when he stepped up. His best win is over Sam Peter, a fat Kirk Johnson & out of shape Corrie Sanders who was nothing more than a glorified journeyman who had power with no stamina much like David Price.

Once again Joe is Wrong. He was simply the best ! Better than all the rest.

Maybe black skin is tougher and some people can't accept lewis was better than vitality on basis of strong skin.
Maybe vitalis face wasn't used to being punched so skin wasn't toughened

Lewis' prime was long gone, he wasn't prime when he beat Tyson let alone Klitschko.

Lewis' prime was 1997-2000.

After beating Tyson he took over a year off, was talking about retiring, set up a final fight (not against Klitschko), came in heavier than he's ever been, was 37, looked tired after 2 rounds...yet he still stopped Vitali like this;

So he only had three years prime, you're aware how ridiculous that sounds, right?
Anyone can get a very bad cut, the fact of the matter is Vitali was landing more leather on Lewis and was up on the scorecards.

Like I said a while ago, McCall and Rahman were good enough to give a rematch when they definitively clearly beat Lewis, but Lewis wasn't willing to do it again when that fight was stopped from a doctor, not the fighter quitting.

Vitali & his Tina Turner ring entrance music. You truly are dedicated to him. I guess I might as well

McCall never gave him a rematch. It was a fight for a vacant belt. Rahman had to give him an immediate rematch as it was in the contract.

Vitali bi*ched out against Chris Byrd when shutting him out on the scorecards. He quit like a coward. He also bi*ched out of a fight with Haye after he said if he beat Chisora they would fight. He retired instead like a little a coward...

Wonder why? Did Lewis feel he was going to lose?

All champions put a rematch clause in voluntary defences. They would be ****** not to.

That's true, well done Lennox. Can you imagine rahman having win over Lennox and Lennox not avenging it? Doiesnt bear thinking.

What Lennox has going for him he's avenged every loss. Lennox didn't give vitali opportunity.
