Because Vitali kept moaning like a classless brat during the post-fight press conference, punching Lewis in the arm asking for a rematch. And then, when Lewis decided to retire Vitali kept repeatedly whining about Lewis not honoring the rematch that he promised. That would be enough for any man to defend himself and respond why Lewis did what he wanted and had the right to do. If you can't get motivated you don't fight. And Lewis couldn't because at his worse he destroyed Vitali's face.
Lewis is one of only 3 HWs to beat every man he ever faced. What's so difficult about that to understand?
McCall beat himself; Lewis didn't do **** except show up, which is more than he would do for the rematch he promised Vitali. Vitali beat his ass the first time BTW. What's so hard about watching the fight?
I don't think Lewis would have retired had Vitali NOT been fighting in the division, put it that way.
Comprehension too big of a word or something? Lewis is one of only 3 HWs to beat every man he faced. That doesn't mean he's undefeated, it just means he beat every man he faced. If you still don't get that. McCall in the rematch & Rahman in the rematch. Of course, I don't have to mention Lewis TKO6 Vitali, right? It's quite an impressive feat. Also says he knew when to quit.
I'll give him that. He knew to quit because he just got beat. Lewis was losing the fight on all cards. You can continue with the tko in 6 chant, but it is a hollow win for shallow fans. In related news: Paul Williams defeats This content is protected

Are you British? If so, I'm not shocked; being fans so classless as to boo Wlad's national anthem during the Wlad/Haye bout. I guess you guys still have an inferiority complex over having your asses kicked back across the Atlantic by a bunch of settlers with squirrel guns...multiple times. Let it go. Lennox got his ass kicked: you guys should be used to having your asses kicked by now.
Keep his word? Is that the "word" where Vitali kept harrassing Lewis in the ring after the fight for a rematch? You don't think maybe Lewis said "sure, OK", just to shut him up and get him out of his face? You know, like "of course I'll call you tomorrow". And a Ukranian fighter fits into this how? Or are you now claiming Vitaly as American. Might as well.
