Two years and nearly eight thousand posts just since I made this repository thread. The fight itself was coming on a dozen years ago. Both men are retired. Some people can't let go! :verysad
How are people still not over this? Vitali lost. It doesn't matter that he was ahead on the scorecards, because he still lost by TKO.
Now before the Euro fans proclaim ''Old Heavyweights weren't as good!'' (they're wrong, but whatever). Lennox Lewis cut up Vitali Klitschko and the referee saved Vitali as that cut would have ended his career. Evander Holyfield (who has fought Lewis, Tyson and Foreman) said that Foreman hit harder than both Tyson and Lewis. That's right, he said an old and fatter George Foreman hit harder than the super-heavyweight 250lb Lennox Lewis, who was strong enough to beat down Vitali Klitschko. Based on this, Foreman's raw power was insane. Oh, and we all know of the factual stories of Tyson ducking Foreman because Tyson wanted nothing to do with a slugger...
Another idio** thread. Cut can be happen from the lightest punch. How bad you are cut or how your face looks after the match, not always shows the reality of the outcome. GSP face was busted easy and in the end of the match its looks like he is the loser, no matter he dominate in the cage and win the fights. Lewis win the match, do to the cut, but Vitali was winning on points, before the stoppage. Some cuts are do to luck, others do to lots of pucnesh and so on. So its idi*** to compare what Lewis and Foreman can do to Vitali.
Stop being a fanboy. Vitali's eye was mashed up and had he continued, he'd have lost his career and health. Lewis beat him.
Fanboy rly? I was fan of Lewis as well, so what? Cut happens and when its happen, they can be open more, and that whats happen. There wasnt one side beating, tho Vitali was winning the match, 4-2 rounds for Vitali at the time of stoppage.
I don't care if Vitali was winning on the scorecards, Vitali was landing more punches but Lewis' punches were digging deeper. The stronger, more impactful punches destroyed his eye.
Lewis hit harder than Klitschko (both of them). Foreman hit harder than Lewis, as per confirmed by Holyfield. Therefore Foreman > Lewis > Klitschko.
This is what Holyfield said: “George Foreman hit me the hardest of all the fighters I ever fought,”
