Vitali was as good as he ever was when he fought Lewis. Vitali earned a rematch and Lewis retired. Lewis didnt definitively beat Vitali at all in all fairness. And I am no fan of Vitali but it's not fair.

Lewis stopped Vitali, and Holyfield was capable at the time and was actually favoured over Lewis at the time of the fight.
