They did boo Lewis. It happened. I heard it. The reason? They knew it was a robbery.

They also boo Floyd in every fight including the ones with Mosley/JMM/Oscar, does that mean Floyd robbed them in 3 fights

Klittards gon Klit.

You heard booing for the decision to stop the fight and cheering for Vits finally showing some heart. Still doesn't change TKO6, does it?

[Faerun]

Has anyone ever seen bremen in a non-klit thread? Or in a RBR thread even? Does this guy even follow boxing? Can he name a champ south of 147?

[Absolutely!]

One hundred and forty effing pages.

And Klitschko fans have the nerve to accuse us Brits of being delusional.

Because Floyd didn't enter with the crowd on his back like Lewis did

Deal with it LennoxGays, he lost his entire fanbase when everyone realized Vitali is simply better

Rounds won against each other:
Vitali doubles Lewis, deal with it brittards

I know you are angry because of the lack of respect shown toward what I guess is one of your favorite fighters. Hence you yourself started showing a pretty sick display of respect towards others.
That's fine, this is an internet forum and banter/insults is all part of good fun.

A few things to keep in mind though and I think if you look at it from a non bias point of view (if you can) you will find that these things are pretty much true.

1-That was an old Lewis. Fighters carry weight differently. Lennox Lewis at 257+ on fight night is pretty much a dead man walking. Some fighters are able to carry excess weight a lot better than others. Riddick Bowe is one who can probably fight at a pretty high level still despite being 10-15 pounds overweight. Lewis have shown nothing in his career to indicate this. He was overweight against Rahman and lost, he came back many pounds lighter and won. He is a super heavy who 10-15 pounds make a massive amount of difference.

Lewis was retiring and well on his way out even before the Tyson fight. He have been quoted multiple times that he wanted to retire after Rahman II and the only reason he want to fight Tyson is because he felt it was unfinished business.


This was a quote from Lewis as early as 2000 after Tua.

"To me, the only fight left is Tyson.Whatever happens(win or lose), I won't be around much longer.""


Lennox wanted to retire after Tua, he took a awful lot of punishment and went through some tough battles during his long career up to that point already and was going to call it. The only reason he fought Rahman was to get at Tyson, RahmanII happened because of the huge upset.


Do not be mistaken by the 'form' Lewis shown towards Tyson. That was just a past prime ATG looking good against a way past prime ATG. Lewis was done, Tyson was more done hence making Lewis look brilliant.



2- Vitali was the better man for 2 rounds that night. If you watch the fight from 3-6, you can honestly make a case for every round being razor close, Lennox landing the much bigger and more painful punches. A third round could have been given to Lewis easily, and it would have been 3 a piece.


3- At no point in the fight was Lennox ever in serious trouble, even that '2nd round' Lennox didn't look like he was at any moment going to be knocked out. He was in much bigger trouble against Briggs and Bruno. He always look tired, that's just the way Lewis fights. Every other fight, he looks like he's dying of exhaustion by mid rounds. By the end of 6, it look like Vitali was the one done.


4- With that cut, I just don't see Vitali coming back. He would have probably been blinded and suffer some sort of severe injury if the fight had gone on.


5- Lennox made a major mistake in not re matching Vitali. Even a past prime 38 year old Lewis should be able to UD a Prime Vitali in the rematch. But, let's be honest here. If Lewis had rematch and dominated Vitali people like you will just go on to complain that Lewis retired to duck Samuel Peter and Wladimir Klitscko. If Lewis had fought on to 39 and knocked out Wladimir, people like you will just complain that Wladimir was still 'green' at the time and Lewis should have rematched a 'prime Wlad'. There's always going to be something for people like you to hate about and to complain about.

Life can be laughter or it can be pain. Don't let a internet forum debate decide which one it is for you.
