T.K.O. in 6

Lewis retired because he knew he had no chance in the rematch. He would have continued fighting otherwise. The truth is - Vitali retired Lewis.

 

unique way of retiring someone, letting them rip your eye out.

so is that why nearly every other HW champ retired at 38 or before that age?

or is it because they were just all getting on. well the evidence says the latter, its just you who says no.

 

:zzz:zzz:zzz:zzz:zzz:zzz:zzz:zzz

 

If Lewis thought that he could win he would given him a rematch. Why would he retire if he was not afraid of the Klitschkos? Before Vitaly fight he gave lot's of interview where he said he wanted to keep fighting for at least couple of years.

 

hey doughbag. It wasnt a matter of Lewis 'thinking he could win' He DID win. He didnt need to think it.

Its Vitali who needs assessing if he 'thought he could win'

get it right.

 

TKO6= The Truth:yep

 

“Lennox promised to give me a rematch. He invited me to come to London to talk person to person. I came, and it was Lennox and his mum. I spoke for about 30-minutes; his mum scanned me from top to bottom. I flew back to Germany and he rang me and said he would not fight - the decision of his mum.”

promises rematch

seeks his mother's advice

retires

:hi:

 

Are you trying to claim that nearly all the HW champs in history retired because Lennox's mum told them too, rather than because they were getting on? Cant imagine Marciano and co giving in to Mrs Lennox so easily.

which bit of '38 years old. nearly all of them retired by them' didnt you read?

 

thats right he refused the biggest payday in his carrier.

 

Oh I dont know.

Maybe because he was 38
Maybe he just wasnt that intestested in training hard anymore(as evidenced by his shape against Vitali and his balooning up after his retirement)
Maybe because he had millions in the bank
Maybe because his legacy as one of the ATG heavyweights was secure
Maybe because he wanted to leave as undisputed champion
Maybe because he had just beaten his closest rival by stoppage.

I mean...Im just guessing here.

 

Do you have any idea how much money he got for the Holyfield and Tyson fights????

They guy certainly didnt need to fight on for the money

 

why dont take the rematch and make tons of money. before the fight he wanted tyson 2 or roy jones. but after vitali he run away. atsch
