    Lewis was knocked out twice. Lewis knows how to survive and he survived!!! Vitali could not do what McCall and Rahman did.

    Vitali did not know what to do after he was cut. He should have do what George Foreman said, knock Lewis out. But his punching power was not big enough to do it.

    So Lewis won and he would have won the rematch.

    Rahman hit Lewis and made him unconscious.
    Vitali hit Lewis and made him pissed off.

    I don't see how a rematch would have changed the fact that Lewis could take Vitalis best shot, and give a better one in return.

    What i do not understand is if it was the worse beating ever, how could he survive the "monster power puncher:D" like Vittles? Yet, he got KTFO by a crack head in round 2!

    Vitali landed his best shots on Lewis in round 2, Lewis responded by smashing Vitali's face in and scoring a TKO6 victory.

    Three lowest career moments for Lewis:

    1. Dominated by Vitali and refusing the rematch and retiring

    2. tko2

    3. tko5

    Lewis has a pathetic chin. The fact that he almost went down in round 2 when Vitali never finishes guys off early is just sad.

    Of all the guys Vitali has KO'd, only 2 came before the 4th round. Lewis is lucky that the fight was stopped because he was going to get stopped classic Vitali style.

    "Lewis would have stopped Vitali"

    After being humiliated by Oliver McCall lewis never knocked anyone out past the 6th round except a shot to **** Mike Tyson.

    To think that Lewis would have finished off a guy that was already beating him and had an amazing chin when he couldn't do that to guys he was already winning against is not only ridiculous, but delusional.

    It doesn't speak well of Vitali's power and head to head ability if "Lewis has a pathetic chin" but the best Vitali could manage was to "almost" knock him "down in round 2", and if its some kind of plan or policy of Vitali that he "never finishes guys off early" then why does he fail to stagger Lewis after in the later rounds? Why does Lewis start walking through Vitali's punches to such an abvious extent than George Foreman declares to the world that Lewis has no respect for Vitali's power?

    I don't really get those Klittards, instead of praising their opponents to make the K2 look better their just constantly pissing on them.

    Or do they only praise K2 because they're white?

    LOL Lewis was getting staggered in nearly every round. Round 2 he nearly went down. Then in Round 4 he nearly went down. By round 6 he was exhausted by all the shots and collapsed at his stool.

    The accumulation of pain causes mental and physical exhaustion which Vitali has used on all of his opponents and KO'd them in the later rounds. It does not speak against Vitali's H2H capability because fights are 12 rounds and he utilizes that to his advantage.

    I like how you pick a point in time where nothing before that counts. Braces use you know as soon as somebody says "Frank Bruno" your argument is shot to ****.

    Following your logic:
    Lewis had never been stopped after Round 5. So you need to get him early.
    Vitaly had his chance, but to quote the eloquent Mr Lewis himself "he had shot his bolt".

    Lewis has never lost on points.

    So. Lewis wasn't being knocked out.
    Or losing on points.

    Welcome to the TKO6 matrix.

    So what you are saying is Vittles doesn't have any power and needs to wear down this shitty era heavyweight boxers.

    Its funny how you remember things that are of no significance, yet cannot remember TKO6 or Vittles holding on like a Drunken ***** at the END of the fight.

    Fights aren't 12 rounds if the other bloke stops you first.

    What you're essentially saying is that Vitaly is a 1 dimensional fighter, with only 1 plan that he can't change if things aren't going his way.

    I agree with you.

    That's why despite having a cut that clearly wasn't going to last another 9 rounds, Vitaly still persisted with the same plan. Or maybe he didn't and I can't tell the difference.

    Lewis however, tried something that didn't work for 2 rounds, and completely changed his approach. And won.

    That's why Lewis won, and why he's clearly the better fighter. Vitaly has no Plan B.


    Simple fact of the matter is, both guys plan ended up being to damage the other to an extent where the fight was stopped.
    Lewis just did it better.
