Lennox Lewis Retirement - Myth or Fact?

Why does Lewis have to beat someone twice before he can retire - Is Vitali going to beat Charr twice before he retires

...and what a contrast in the way they went out Vitali with a whimper against a nobody - Lewis against an ATG in a stunning fight still talked about years later.

Lewis truly proved how to go out in style and Vitali with a damp fizz - In 10 years time vitali will be know as the loser against Lewis but probably more as Vladimirs spit bucket holder.

 

He's one of few fighters to go out defeating his heir. :good

 

Fact. Lennox Lewis promised a rematch but retired :deal

 

I think he was semi considering the rematch, but his bottle went and he retired swiftly when he saw 34-1 Johnson taken apart in two rounds. Vit was a guy on the up and Lewis knew it, proved by his record since.

 

haha Lewis stopped vitali. made his face look like a cheap pizza

 

Attaching the word "fact" to a series of bias, entirely subjective opinions doesn't make what you are saying a fact. It just makes you look like a dick.

 

:smoke here are some facts pal . LL was in great shape BUT VITALY was coming off both BACK and shoulder surgeries . those are the convienently overlooked facts .

 

The most overlooked fact in all of this is that Lewis ripped Vitali's face to pieces so badly it took 100 stitches and a doctor stoppage to save Vitali's livelihood.

 

It's a myth:

Everyone knows that Lewis retired because he didn't want to face Manual Charr !

 

After the fight Lewis said if the money is right.
40 million is a lot, but not right.

How is a statement with two "ifs" in it a promise? Do you people understand English?

 

In Klit land it is.

 

Who cares... Lewis won TKO6, but Vitali was beating him up.

Smart move by Lewis!

 

Lewis came pretty close to being KO'd by VItali in round 2, hanging on for dear life he was. Bar his dirty shot that opened the eye, and his glove lace punches that made the injury worse, the Lion would have been stopped or UD'd by a wide margin. Add in how Vit smashed 34-1 Johnson next bout in two rounds and it made Lewis **** himself. If not for Vitali, Lewis could have coasted for two or three more years as champ. Alas... he bowed out wisely.
