Lewis vs Vitali. Was there ever a bigger demand for a re-match in the past 20 years?

I don't blame Lennox for retiring but, like Holmes, it's not a good look when you don't rematch your toughest wins. In Lennox's case, it's a little more annoying because he got rematches for the losses he had (and the admittedly bogus Holyfield draw), and fans always point to how he beat everyone as a measure of his greatness.

Great, great fighter- don't get me wrong- but there were fighters worthy of a rematch with Lennox that didn't get one, while he had the clout to get the rematches he needed.

 

no, klitscko is a person not a race.

also sanders is white.

you clearly mean nothing.

 

Umm that would be wrong.

A fight ending on cuts that were caused by what the ref deems to be legal blows, is an acceptable way to win a fight. Don't believe me? Go look at Boxrec and read what the official outcome of the fight was. Lewis is not the first, nor the last, to win fights via cuts, so it wasn't the first time, someone won a fight in this manner, and it wouldn't be the last time. And until the rules of boxing are changed, it will continue to be an acceptable way to win a fight.

As for calling for a rematch, you can call for another 30-50 years if you don't have anything better to do, but it's never gonna happen no matter how long or how many times you call for it.

The reality is V.K. had his chances, especially in the 2nd round and couldn't capitalize it. By the end of the 3rd round, he certainly knew he was likely living on borrowed time.

 

retiring fter tkoing before half way the guy who partially dominated the next 10 years is pretty awesome.

except on planet Kliturd.
that is, until the kliturd who is thinking this realises that they are actually putting down Vitali with their argument that they thought was defending Vitali, and it then dawns upon this kliturd that they have self destructed their own argument once again.

 

you think there should be a rematch currently , between a 40something politican and a 50something potbellied Rastafarian Black Santa lookalike?

Losh you really are one of a kind.

 

No, its nothing to do with people who reply to these threads, its about those who start them.

And these threads are being started by kliturds, that's the reason why they are being discussed.

K.S.D.O.A.

 

Mid 40's and a 50 yo.

You obviously haven't seen Rocky Balboa, he would have been far older but still did the job. No reason Lewis could put the gloves on again..

Yes a rematch is in order to sort this out once and for all. VK deserves a rematch and I reckon he would spark LL out in a round or two..

 

Personally, there was no need for a rematch.

Vitali proved he was the better man, end of story. Vitali beat Lewis down and almost KO'd him in his prime. People will overlook the grazing of the glove that started a fluke cut.

 

Margarito eye at 100% rematch both Pretty in Pink Cotto & Steroid Shane Mosely.

 

ROFLMAO Utter BULL FECES!!! A barely 80% ready & overweight Lennox nearly took Vitali's face off. Imagine what a 100% Lennox would do to the robot?? Wouldn't be pretty
That uppercut Lennox nailed Vitali with got him so he didn't know if he was in Vegas or Vladivostok :rofl
No need for any rematch :happy:happy

 

I would of liked to see a rematch, any fight that causes as much controversy and arguments 10+ years on obviously wasn't settled comfortably in the minds of fans. Therefore, a rematch was required.

She's that simple fellas.

 

do you even read the posts you reply to?

I'm quite sure I wrote that the ref ended the fight due to a cut. And yes, that is as valid as any other win which is decided by the ref. And in many cases TKOs leave a feeling of that the boxers didn't get to settle it between themselves, regardless of boxrec.

And no, I wouldn't wish for a rematch today but that isn't the point of the thread.

But if thinking that there should be a rematch after the referee stops a man in the lead due to a cut in the fight for the hw crown of the world isn't motivated I don't know what is.

Maybe this thread is a little to much to process for some posters on the forum. It's probably better to just discuss slo-mo scoring, skin color, *****s, pacturds, tko6, or Haye comebacks.

 

Can't you just answer his question Herol?

 

You seem to be a fight fan.

 

There was no rematch because Lennox Lewis would have lost it. Lennox Lewis was on the slow decline in the 1-2 years before the fight. He showed it in the Tyson fight but very few people noticed it because Tyson was shot to szh!t.
