T.K.O. in 6

"Lewis could not stagger Vitali at all"...

...but he had him holding on like a ***** and staggering around the ring after him trying to avoid taking any clean shots in the 6th round, and cut his face to ribbons with legal punches.

As opposed to Vitali who started strong and wobbled Lewis in the 2nd but struggled to hurt him after the 3rd, and who was being walked down by Lewis to such an obvious extent that George Foreman - who had been behind Vitali the entire fight prior to that, as, indeed, all of HBO's commentary team seemed to be that night - would specifically comment on Lewis having no respect for Vitali's power.

 

if its a cheat who cut Vitalis face to ribbons?

 

I googled Angelo Dundee and the Lewis/Vitali fight today and this was the quote I could found from him about it, make of it
what you will:

“He was on the way to becoming champion against Lennox Lewis, the fight shouldn’t have been stopped. But, you know, that’s boxing sometimes. The cut wasn’t in a dangerous place. It wasn’t bleeding into the eye. The younger brother, in my mind, is the better fighter. He’s got so many tools, he throws straight punches. Especially that left hand. He must be a converted southpaw.”

 

What fight were you watching? Try watching the last 20 seconds of the 6th round, Vitali was drapped over Lewis and hanging on for dear life..how could you or anyone else not see that?

 

And Dundee got his medical license from where again??

 

didnt dundee cheat against cooper?

 

Exactly WHO has Klitschko beat?

 

I'm going to guess and say it's because Vitali is still an active fighter.

 

And if Vitali was from Philly, might you view him a bit differently?

Head to head, you can say Vitali is top ten, and if you want to compare statics the way baseball does, few have a better won-loss ratio, higher KO%, or were dominant on the score cards. In addition he was a great older fighter, and was never floored from a punch.

 

About ten men who were rated in the top ten by Ring Magazine, including some alphabet bet and lineal champions.

 

2nd highest KO% ever (#1 for many years until recently)

Greatest comeback fight in history, destroying the wbc champ after a 4 year layoff

most feared hw on the planet even at 40yo

never knocked out

never down

has never been behind on the scorecards

has never lost more than 2 rounds in a fight

has never truly lost


People get all starry eyed with Mayweather and his apparent invincibility, but that's nothing compared to Vitali

Floyd lost to Castillo in his prime, Floyd has lost more than 2 rounds in many occasions, even against cherrypicked opponents

Look at all the ATG heavyweights, all of them with multiple losses on their resumes except Marciano, but even Marciano got his ass brutalized in some matches only to win with a hail mary punch in the end or barely eek out a victory. The rest of them, Holmes, Ali, Lennox, Dempsey, Louis, Frazier, Tyson, etc they all got their butts kicked at some point, they were dominated and humilliated, bested by someone else in the ring. That has never happened with Vitali

Vitali has dominated everyone he's ever faced, and the only two ¨losses¨ in his career, were against a career threatening injury the first time, and to a combination of a lucky cut/dirty tactics/ biased ref/doctor/venue, etc. in the second one, both while he was still green as a cucumber.

The 2 opponents who got lucky and beat Vitali (on paper, if you know your boxing, you know he's never truly lost) won a whooping total of 3 rounds between the two of them

That's a true mark of domination. Unless you get extremely lucky and an injury ensues, there is no way to beat this man. Vitali ¨Dr. Unbeatable¨ Klitschko :happy

 

Chris Byrd walked him down and made him.:deal

An old Lennox Lewis sliced his invicable as.s up like Deli ham
