    Vitali retired Lewis - there is no other way to explain it.

    Vitali's reign would never be better than Lewis's for the simple reason that there isnt the fighters out there to build that kind of resume, Lewis won by punching Vitali in the face very hard repeatedly, Vitali is lucky that he didnt meet Lewis a few years prior.:good

    I was actually talking about what happened after the fight, but you can cling to that paper record if it makes you happy. Everybody knows what really happened in that fight and who was a better boxer that night.

    Vitali couldnt even finish the fight, it wasnt a six round fight, Vitali couldnt beat an uninterested Lewis. Thankfully the vast majority of people can see past Vitali's ballsack and will say that Vitali couldnt beat the worst version of Lewis.

    Agreed. Poor Vitali would be doing time for Murder.
    Like in 2001?

    Lewis had contractual rights to do so. Next!

    :lol:

    Right, only because honor is not enough to file lawsuit. That's your whole case. All the little whining arm-punching at Lewis after the fight by Vitali is high praise stuff going ignored by you. No double standards there. Lewis had every right to change his mind. That's what people do. Lewis had his on reasons and justifications for doing so. And had every right especially considering the way Vitali acted after the fight.

    The ref saved Lewis from punishment? Vitali held on for dear life and didn't throw another punch after Lewis' uppercut lifted him off the canvas. Cuts are a part of boxing, deal with it. The fight had swung in momentum anyway.

    Not only did he do that, but he won the whole fight!!!!:yep

    Vitali was lucky the fight was stopped,any more damage and his face may have fallen off!

    Vitali had his chance to beat an old,heavy Lewis and he couldnt take it.

    Deal with it.

    Damn, 18 pages...does it really matter why Lewis chose to retire?

    The Fact is: the fans lost by not seeing a rematch
