and That fight was prematurely stopped.He beat you the crap out of you.

That fight wasnt prematurely stopped ffs Vitalis eye was a horrible mess. It was from a punch too so TKO correct. 4 rds to 2 Vitali at the time as i recall. Brutal fight best contest fir the title for years after that until the AJ Wlad fight.

There should have been a rematch though. No question but Lewis retired instead. Never came back.

On the contrary you can he duck Chris Byrd by your logic since he was the IBF mando and he dropped his title for a Mike Tyson fight. Why didn't Vitali rematch Corrie Sanders? That fight was worth a rematch

A bird is not worth the time of a Lion.

Sanders never demanded any rematch with Vitali. I agree it was a great fight but the beatdown was considerable, look at Sanders face after, imagine his face after 24 hours of swelling.

Again, Sanders didn't ever demand or make any moves to reamtch Vitali.

Nice try.

Tyson was a harder fight and more money why would he fight Byrd ? Do you have a link showing Sanders wanted a rematch ? Lewis didn’t retire until Vitali was forced on him so why would Byrd be relevant ? Lewis had options he was still active.

They both had a war why not running back instead of fighting Danny Williams a guy who beat a faded Mike Tyson.

I presume he beat Williams who was mandatory as well

I was there the night he annihilated Razor the atmosphere was electric as was the 'fight'...Some great nights with Lennox.

. So was I , Olympia , Ruddock was beaten on his ring walk I reckon , looked and felt intimidated and a young lean Lennox laid straight into him and Ruddock never got going and it were goodnight if I remember rightly

[Andre_parker1]

He knew what would've happen if he had rematched vitali,he chose to keep his legacy intact...smart man

Prime Lewis would dominate this eras HWs. Loved watching his career. Beat every man he ever fought too.

—————-

What about Haseem Rahman and Oliver McCall? Do you think they would have dominated this era?

“Beat every man he ever fought”!! Floyd, Calzaghe, Ward, all beat every man they ever fought in the truest sense.

When you say it that way, one would think Lewis retired undefeated. He got knocked out by two journeymen.

I had a window fitter come in and look at my Photo with Ali , then a picture of Lennox to which he said 'wasn't he boring nothing like Joshua' ....! Never offered him a cuppa!
Lennox was well up there and underrated by some as was another great Holmes.

Why you luring window fitters into your lair with photos? That’s some Jeffrey Dahlmer shit.
