    Um, that's because Lewis didn't give the re-match he promised, and Byrd controlled by King would not risk a match with his belt on the line with Vitali.

    Boxing history is not a strong point here I see. Schmelling was thought to be past his best in the first match.

    Vitali suffered one major cut in his career, and if you watch the film, it's unclear if Lewis who used an illegal backhand swipe with the laces are of the glove has anything to do with the cut.

    A youtube video was posted here a while back.

    Excuses excuses. Vitali never faced a man with the lineal hvw title with 25 title defenses either.

    Excuses? What? Again, no one in their right mind disputes the fact that Louis accomplished more and ranks higher than Vitali. That's completely different to H2H.

    Do I need to show you ring observers who noted Lewis was dead tired and crashed hard on his stool at the end of round 6 too?

    The best four fighters Louis fought were Schmeling, Walcott, Charles, and Louis.

    His record here is 3-3, but Walcott won the first fight was robbed of victory according to 2/3 at ringside, and the surviving films show Walcott was better.

    So 2-4 for Louis is the best answer with fair judging. Legendary stuff, right?

    Are you aware sub 200 pound men floored or stunned Joe Louis?

    The film does not lie Blizzy. Calling out the more informed posters here won't make you look better, but keep calling if you must...

    Lewis, Byrd, Sanders and Hide. 2-2, BUT he was in the lead vs Lewis and Byrd. An injury and a cut were the reason for the loss, not a KO by a 10 count, or loss via decision.

    Unlike Joe Louis, Vitali never got the chance to rematch either, and that is because Lennox Lewis who said he'd give the re-match and talked smack quickly retired once the WBC ordered the re-match.

    Without a torn shoulder, Vitali easily beats Byrd. And he took both losses on less than 2 weeks notice.

    Learning anything?

    LOL, count their losses if you dare, outside of Marciano who retired at age 32, you'll be using more than two hands.

    Louis has a losing record here with fair officiating, that is my point.

    Complete horse chit. You're lying out your teeth again to win an internet debate you sad joke.

    Byrd was not with King in the year he fought Vitali and Wlad. During that time he was managed by his wife.

    Vitali's promotional outfit Universum had legal options over Byrd and he was under contract to rematch Vitali. Instead it went to Wlad because Vitali hadn't the gonads to face him again.
    Vitali fought bum Hoffman instead in that SAME YEAR.

    Byrd had a game plan for Vitali and it was frustrate him and take it to him late. He had just seen Purrity get Wlad late and that was the theory on how to beat them.
    He went in with a strategy and he won by that strategy. At no point from round one onward was Byrd ever in any sort of trouble. He was toying with him and by the 5th he was making a total fool out of him. Thats why Vitali wanted no part of Byrd ever again.
    A guy who can't beat Chris Byrd doesn't last two round with Louis. Fact.
