its funny listening to these dudes get butt hurt off Lewis' opinion...At the end of the day..Lewis TKO'ed Vitali! Fact!
Even this very thread shows Lewis is a coward, talking **** about Wladimir now, but wouldn't prove it back when he could....:yep
So that means Lewis was scared of Vitali does it... you lot really are a special breed of fan. Lewis left the sport whilst his brain was still intact and his wallet full. Vitali needed Lewis not the other way round, great fighters find a way to win even when the chip are down or they are having an offnight. Lewis signed out of the sport that night with a very good victory with the knowledge that all fighters decline eventually and it was indeed his time to go. Why should he stick around to become a name on a lesser fighters resume, if he cant do himself justice anymore then why fight on? Massive respect for Lewis for bowing out of boxing when he did and not becoming an undignified shell of his formerself.
After the Klitschkos retire, it is pretty safe to say they will not spend their time running down current heavyweights via print and TV commentary. They are just better human beings than that bitter, pseudo intellectual Lewis, who was chased into an early retirement by Vitaly.
Fat Lennox>Prime Vitali>Wlad (any version). This board makes me laugh, Wlad gets a thoroughly non-impressive win over a glass-jawed Cruiserweight and he's beating Lennox all of a sudden. Lennox is top 3 ATG in most people's eyes so he's earned the right to spout **** about pretty much anything. That and he's shared the ring with other ATGs, and beaten them decisively.
If he just wanted to retire why was he trying to get a rematch with Tyson? And also trying to get around the Vitali rematch??
Lewis never earned the right to talk **** about the Klitschkos. He ran out of boxing and never came back. Now after almost ten years, he starts talking big. He's a coward!!!
What so he's not allowed to have an easy retirement fight and earn some more money??? I bet your opinion would be different if your hero done the same. Vitali better face Solis before retiring, its only fair judging by your logic. Solis was winning until his knee buckled undr his weight.
So on the one hand he didn't rematch Vitali because he didn't need the money. But on the other he wanted the Tyson rematch because he wanted to make more money? That's just stupid!
:happy:bbb:happy Best post of the thread. Summarizes my thoughts exactly. Show some class Lennox and give the K-bros respect. They, like you are both long-term champs who take on all comers and keep in great shape between fights. This is their era. You had your time. Grow the hell up Lennox. Your fellow Brit got his butt whooped by a great long-term champ. Deal with it with some class.
This is pretty pathetic even by Klitschko fanboy standards. He beat the better brother and decided that younger boxers were too hungry for his liking after nearly 30 years in the ring. Only Klit fans are pissed that he retired, the rest of us have an ATG career highlight reel to look back on. Why the **** should Lennox hang around just for someone else to make a name from him? You talk about Lewis like he was some kind of gatekeeper for the Klits ffs, or that he retired at a young age. You don't get to dictate terms to ATGs. Vitali had his chance and his face couldn't take it, there's no shame in that. Retired (and lesser) boxers talk **** all the time, but it's only butt-hurt Klit fanboys that take any notice of what Lennox says. No-one else, even Lewis' fans could care less tbh.
