Lennox Lewis states why he didn't give Vlitali Klitschko a rematch.

I think you'll find it was a majority draw when it was stopped.

 

It was the biggest risk of his career, who wants to retire as nobody ?! Thats why he didn't take a rematch and that's the ONLY reason. I can't believe people are so deluded to believe anything else...

 

My mistake smart arse.
Yeah i forgot, i thought Bruno was leading on 2 cards and the other one a drawer.
Still Bruno was right in the fight until Lewis caught him, same as Vitali was in the fight until his face was cut to pieces.

 

Retire as a nobody? :nut
That's the only reason. :nut

 

Well you know what I mean, retire NOT is heavyweight champion. If you have understanding difficulties drinks some vitamins, specially designs for brains functioning

 

:nut I have trouble understanding fanatical, dysfunctional, unreasonable people. Something no vitamins will help with.

 

He would have destroyed his legacy retireing with a loss. he did the smart thing. he was not going to defeat Vitali in a rematch

 

That sure as hell doesn't sound like lewis was going to retire anytime soon. Vitaly definitely made him retire :thumbsup

 

How can anyone say lewis didnt retire because of vitaly just amazes me.

 

Coming from a man who asks if universally recognised ATG Larry Holmes deserves to recognised as an ATG.

 

Like yourself? Im not fanatic at all. It is OBVIOUS WHY Lewis retired. If he would have won this fight vs Vitalij easily he would keep boxing, I'm more than sure. I know your Lewis fan but come on, this is so obvious...

 

Klit fans always try to inject some false drama into the Klit-Lewis rematch. What they have plenty of in abundance is, Wishful Thinking.

Real boxing fans realize that no matter how many rematches Vitali is given, he'd completely fail in his mission as badly or worst then his first failed attempt. Fact is, the boy is just not good enough to beat a prepared and motivated Lennox Lewis. Especially since he failed miserably in his attempt against an out-of-shape, unmotivated Lewis.

Bottom line is;
Real boxing appreciation fans realize the difference in the two fighter's skill sets, while Klit fans only have their panties filled with, Wishful Thinking, hopes, and dreams based on ancient Nazi Super-race propaganda.

 

He does have one skill vitaly doesn't have and that's his ability to take short naps during fights His fifth dimension.

 

It amazes me how people can think an already semi-retired, rich, successful, 38 year old Lewis was forced to retire solely by Vitali.

OBVIOUSLY it isn't.

 

The only time lewis was even in the fight was when vitaly had one eye before that he had no hope. Its hard for me to think he would have done any better when he was skinnier and weaker. The fact is vitaly would always be a stylistic night mare for him its just a bad match up for lewis and he would always struggle with vitalys style power and chin. Lewis looked great through out his career beating up smaller guys or big chinless nobody's like grant. He never met someone that big and skillful who he didn't have big physical advantages over.
