Who do you believe is / was the best Heavyweight - Lennox Lewis or Vitali Klitschko ?

    No, I'm saying Lewis's win over Vitali is his best. Mainly because since that win Vitali has won 11 World championship fights and possibly hasn't lost a round in doing so. To me that's why Lewis beating Vitali is better than wins over Holyfield and the like who was past his best anyway.

    Holyfield was still better. Tyson not, obviously. Plus Briggs, Tua, Morrisson, etc are better wins than the Vitali one. Obviously it's a GOOD win, because of the stage of Lewis' career and what Vitali has done since, but Vitali has a worse resume than hi best win - Sam Peter.

    I actually like Vitali, btw.

    I dont think he beat Holyfield,certainly not in the second fight.Lewis had some great nights.The Holy fights are 2 bad ones though.

    Watched it enough times to see it aint the massive rip off people said.There is a case for Lewis but if you look at the rounds some are close,I guess the judges score for Evander in those rounds as did I,as did a lot of people.The draw was not a huge scandal,on the biggest night of his life Lennox did not preform against a little old guy.
    The second fight was even worse but because we now had every **** and their usually uninterested dog banging on about injustice,Evander had lost that fight before it started.A bad spell for boxing.

    How has this thread gone for 9 pages?

    Thats the funniest post Ive read in a while, give yourself a pat on the back for that one.

    Lewis>Vitali all day, every day in almost every way.
