He had been avoiding Byrd for two years, he was prepared for a fat Johnson, and he gets surprised by a Klit. Would you retire from the scene under those circumstances?
huh? YOu mean you weren't playing with words referring to Lewis seexuality when you said he wanted 'Johnson' more than 'Clit'? I read WAY too much into your post, not to worry, Mongo.
Lennox never wanted to sustain punishment in the ring... he said it many times. in the Vitli fight, he caught a lot of hard punches. He wanted nothing with Vitali. he claims he was done with boxing..when the name Wlad, came up, he was eager for that fight... but say ,Vitali, and cowers back like a frienghtened child. If Vitali is such an easy win, rematch him... man, that is scared. as for the fight... PLEASE watch the second round... that's a thumb that opens that eye...I've always contended that the fight should've been a no contest...
Lewis retired at the right point. He fought Vitali and knew that he would not survive 12 rounds in the rematch.
Lewis likes a challenge, he said that Byrds and Klits are no challenge. Now a big fat Johnson, that was a challenge that got him up. The thought of smacking a fat Johnson around with his left hand inspired a passion and hunger he had not felt since he was a young man. But instead he got a stubborn Klit that wouldn't lay down and he had to reconsider things. When it became apparent he forever lost his chance at getting his hands on Johnson, he had to hang em up.
didn't need to lie down, he got tkoed in 6. if you don't have the skills to compete, it doesn't matter how many times you come back for a beating.
Lewis wasn't interested in Klit anymore, perhaps never in the first place. However, he wanted Johnson so bad he could taste it. If that fat Johnson could have only got up for Klit and not gone soft, Lewis would have gladly got it on.
