    Lewis had him figured out, i'd be surprised if Vitali saw the start of round 4.

    Lewis stops him again but without the struggle.

    Lewis KO 5th, he'd get in shape and would have been fully prepared for a challenger like Vitali

    I just watched Vatali v.s. Lennox on youtube again yesterday and saw the bad cuts on his face. Vatali couldn't have survived through the final round if the fight had continued. The Dr. and the ref. made the right decision to stop the fight in round 6 even if Vatali protested it.

    Vitali's face looked like someone took a weed whacker to it, Lewis ****ed em up good. IMO he stops him again but earlier in the fight

    If Lennox was such a favorite in the rematch funny how he avoided taking the fight and a huge payday

    None of that is relevant...


    Lewis would have been a clear favorite, especially after figuring out Vitali while in the absolute worst shape of his career.


    Lewis would have come in lighter, faster, and much better conditioned...

    Lewis would have came in to the fight in the best condition he could and stopped him inside 9 rds.

    He already was on his way to doing it first time round, just have to watch the way the fight was going in 5/6 (Vitali holding on for dear life at end of 6, looking knackered)

    Vitali gets way to much credit for this fight to this day.

    As for Prime for Prime it isnt even close, LL is a couple levels above atleast.

    Lewis would've been very motivated for the rematch (assuming he still had the spirit to continue his career). Stops Vitali by mid-rounds.
