    Is this fact or just a myth?

    Did Lennox Lewis promised to rematch Vitali Klitschko but retired instead of fighting him again?

    Please answer me in the poll, my frendz.

    He did promise Vitali.

    He was smart to retire.

    Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

    THE FACTS

    Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

    Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round and almost got KO'd, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outslugged, outworked, outmuscled, outlanded and outboxed by Vitali.

    punches landed

    Vitali 156

    Lewis 102


    Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

    After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a *****.

    All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.

    Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

    Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

    Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

    Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement.

    George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

    Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

    Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.

    Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

    Vitali wasn't even in his prime yet.

    Lewis was 37, not really that old for a HW.

    Vitali is 40 and is still dominating. He hasn't lost a single round in his comeback.

    Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

    In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

    Recent interview with Lewis: "Vitali Klitschko was the toughest fight of my career"

    Lewis was badly hurt several times, almost KO'd, outworked, outslugged, outmuscled, outboxed, outlanded 156-102, dominated and retired by Vitali.

    Lennox was also the heaviest weight of his career and had been prepping for Kirk Johnson who I don't believe he was taking to serious. Not to take anything from Vitali he still fought his ass off.

    For the love of Jesus get the **** over it.

    Lewis TKO6

    Live with the fact that Vitali got his face ripped off by a fat shot half retired Lennox Lewis.
