Lennox Lewis. Does he have some holes in his legacy?

your talking like Lewis hammered Vitali, yet the truth is Lewis was a very fortunate winner.

 

A boxer opening up 3 different cuts on a fighters face that required 60 stitches, by continually punching it, is NOT fortunate.

Whoever told you to believe that is a fvcking liar, so take no notice of them ever again.

If you managed to think it up all by yourself, you are following the wrong sport.

 

I also try to respect people using resume's as AT ranking, but the undeniable fact is that resume's involve politics.

The most pertinent example of this is happening right now. Everyone with a brain knows that " the fight " should have occurred 5 years ago, but due to politics it is happening in May. ( I don't care who was at fault )

:good

 

Headbut and racking with glove laces caused the cuts on Vitali Klitschko so dont try to make out the fight was a walk in the park for Lewis. Vitali was knocking him around like a rag doll unto it was stopped due to cuts. Lewis then promised the entire Boxing World, he would fight Vitali in a return bout. He then ran off into retirement with his trousers full of brown at the thought of The Brothers.

 

Another idiot Klitschko fan, there's more of them then there are ****roaches in the world, and the unfortunate part about that, is the ****roaches are smarter.

There was no fuking headbutt, and I've watched this fight about 2 dozen times.

But unlike you, I'm quite prepared to give both fighters, even V.K. props for putting on an extremely entertaining fight.

 

The cut was from a punch, man.

 

All 3 of the cuts were from punches. No head butts, no laces, and ( the funniest though most feeble excuse I've read ) no dreadlocks / cornrows rubbing his eye either.

 

I dunno.
A dozen Ukrainian witnesses said the black man pulled a knife.

 

The cuts was caused by punches, nobody has ever proven otherwise. It is easy to find the fight online, if you have evidence and can point out the specific moments where you claim Lewis caused the cuts with "headbutt and racking with glove laces" then please do so. Otherwise stop trying to claim this and accept the loss as legitimate.

Vitali started strong, won the first two rounds and wobbled Lewis in the 2nd, but was fading quickly as the fight went on. In the 3rd Lewis got the better of the action, Vitali picked up his workrate in the 4th and 5th and won the cards on punch output, the 6th was clearly Lewis's round and Vitali's offense was having no effect. The fight had changed by the time of the stoppage and Lewis was getting on top, Vitali did not dominate that fight - it can't even be said that he dominated half of it becuase four of the six round, at least, were competitive.

Lewis was old for boxing and coming towards the end of his career, he didn't have the passion or drive to continue fighting on when he'd achieved everything he set out to achieve and proved everything he had to prove. The only reason he stuck around after beating Tyson was because he thought nobody else in the divison was in his league and get a few more easy paydays out of boxing before retiring.

Vitali proving better than Lewis thought he was forced Lewis to accept the reality that there were still dangerous opponents out there that he would have to face if he stuck around too long, and he had no desire to end up like Ali, Holmes, Foreman or Holyfield, fighting on long after his prime and losing to fighters who wouldn't have troubled him at his best.

While it would have been good for boxing to have a rematch, and it would have been good for him to prove beyond all doubt that he was better than Vitali, he wasn't prepared to put himself through another war at that stage in his career. It had nothing to do with fear of Vitali - he'd met Vitali on equal terms already and emerged victorious - if there was any fear involved in the decision at all it was the fear of staying around too long and damaging his health and his legacy.

Wlad had said he wouldn't be ready to fight Lewis until 2004 at the earliest and then he'd been destroyed in less than two round by a semi-retired South African and become a laughing stock. Even if Lewis stuck around until 2005 Wlad wouldn't have been high on the list of challengers, Wlad didn't reclaim his spot as one of the worlds best until 2006. Lewis's decision to retire had nothing to do with Wlad.

 

Lewis has huge gaping holes in his resume in fact his resume is donut shaped they call the hole in the middle 'vitali'

 

Lets not get started on resumes.

Its impossible to name Vitalis top ten, no wait, top five wins and keep a straight face.

Lewis ****ed Vitali up and retired, Vitali is Lewis son for all eternity.

 

Lennox Lewis never refused to fight anyone .. Tyson and Bowe both avoided fights with him at different times in his career .. Lennox came back from his two defeats with clear victories. Lennox fought everyone that would fight him. AS far as the Klitschko fight goes, an old Lennox at the least gave a much younger Klitschko all he could handle and was landing the more damaging shots at the end .. I have no idea who would have won but that is how it played out ..

 

Cliched ? Garbed ? Sounds like foul tactics to me
