Threads like this perform a valuable service. They draw out the genuinely bona fide absolute 100% ******ed posters (ie Klitards) into defending their heroes. Forget the names, Boxer A amputated Boxer B's face, and beat ATGs on the way, versus Boxer B who never beat an ATG and quit/lost against the two best opponents he ever fought (including Boxer A) and shared the division with his brother. Anyone who thinks Boxer B should be rated above Boxer A in anything except quitting/losing is a ****ing spacktard.
And you're an alt that no doubt already got banned for being an utter ****, 773 posts in the past month out of nowhere. I'd bet my house on you being either Silencer/Gained, Joe McKKenzie, or all three. Either way you have something to do with that awful Heavyweight boxing blog that you will no doubt claim you have nothing to do with.
Lennox Lewis is ahead of Vitali 10+ spots on ATG list because: Lennox Lewis * LL beat every man he faced * Undisputed Heavyweight Champion * Beat two ATG younger than him * Beat one ATG past his prime Vitali Klitschko * Never revenged a loss * Never was Undisputed Heavyweight champion * Never beat an ATG younger than him * Never beat an ATG past his prime
Lewis' best wins were against opponents who were shot to pieces, and went on to prove how shot they were by losing to absolute bums. This is not an opinion, this is irrefutable. The only notable win that wasn't washed up was Vitali, in which Lewis received an ass kicking and won on a shitty technicality caused by an illegal shot. Lewis then retired because his mum told him to, despite stating that he was at his best a year before, and he's like fine wine that gets better with age. He also popped up in all the K bros opponents' corners giving them advice on how to beat them, which needless to say did not work. This proves he still has unresolved bitterness that he was unwilling to correct himself in the ring with a rematch. Only blind idiotic nuthuggers or Klitschko haters refuse to see this glaring fact!
Holyfield was P4P #3 when Lennox was robbed against him in their first fight. Suddenly he became washed up overnight. Vitali was most definitely not washed up nor did he go on to lost to absolute bums after losing to Lennox. Ruddock was one of the highest rated fighters in the world, considered the favorite to win the mini-tournament between him Lennox, Holyfield and Bowe, and Lennox was the clear underdog. He destoryed Ruddock in two rounds. Golota beat the hell out of Bowe in two fights before getting himself disqualified. Lewis destroyed him in a round. Brigg's was lineal champ, Lewis dominated him to a 5th round TKO victory. Holyfield was P4P #3 All noteworthy victories over fighters that weren't washed up. Vitali cuts were caused by perfectly legal shot and no official boxing organize or publication has ever question it. Vitali has never claim that the cuts were caused by anything other than legal punches. You do him no favors by trying to rewrite events. Lewis talked a lot of bull**** and was wrong about a lot of things. He retired because he didn't want another tough fight and wasn't sure he could handle it anymore, and that's what he'd have to go through if he fought Vitali again. In fact, Lewis had become over lazy and largely disinterested ever since he beat Tyson and should have retired much earlier. I will never get why you Vitali fanboys act as if Vitali chased a physically and mentally prime Lewis into retirement when it was an old, shop-worn Lewis at the end of his career who was barely putting in the effort anymore and was only sticking around for some last minute paydays. He hasn't "popped up in all the K bros opponents' corners", he's shown up in some, and he is perfectly within his rights to offer advice to their opponents if they want it, if they ask for it or if he offers it. Whether it works or not is irrelevent. It doesn't mean he's got "unresolved bitterness", it mean's he's offering the benefit of his experience to a younger generation. Should we conclude by your definite that any fighter of a past era who offers advice to a newer generation is doing so out of a feeling of bitterness and unresolved issues with his boxing career?
