Yes it was fair. Mainly because he kept moving forward into the ref, showing his legs weren't under him. Had he managed to stand still briefly and it was stopped it wouldn't have been just though.
**** stoppage. heavyweight title fight, undefeated champion and it was stopped because "he wasnt steady?" ****ing morons
1- Your mom have a disgraceful vagina. 2- Lennox Lewis was only caught by one punches from people he under estimated. A bad chin does not survive. Andrew Golota- Razer Ruddock- David Tua- Gary Mason (100% KO ratio 35-0) One punch Ko Tyson (Who had the time still had 1 punch power beyond belief) Michael Grant, Vitali Klithscko. Lewis fought more punchers than the vast majority of the heavyweight division. Lennox Lewis The sheer amount of big punchers Lennox fought during his career is mind bloggingly impressive. Prime Razer Ruddock- Inventor of the smash, a punch that can kill. Ducked by everyone in his division other then Tyson. Took Tyson to the deep end. Prime Tommy Morrison- Mr KO Artist. Prime Andrew Golota Prime Shannon Briggs FoughtGary Mason as a 15 fight novice. Basically a kid version of Lewis fought this huge puncher who had a 100%+ KO Ratio. Frank Bruno Close to Prime David Tua Prime Michael Grant PRIME Dr IRON FIST himself. Mr SUPER KO Artist. Vitali the KO Artist KOitschko. Prime Rahman (knocked him out 2nd fight) and last of all Past Prime Mike Tyson. But get this. Yes, Mike was shot, and yes Mike was slow after R1. BUT power is what guys? Power is what? POWER IS THE LAST THING TO GO. Always. Tyson still had his amazing one punch KO Power. So he still counted as a massive puncher.
Take into account, Mccall was crazy. He would have just let Lewis recover. Mccall had no finishing instincts, none. He was a delusional crazed drug addict. He would have done the shuffle and let Lennox recover on route to a wide Lewis UD. **** stoppage. Lewis would have came back and won that fight. He was robbed, HBO said it too.
