Its you who's probably insane LOL When Wlad got ko;d Vitali immediately jumped up and challenged his conquerors to get revenge. What did Wlad do after TKO 6? Hid behind Vitali then went AWOL ROFLMAO
Lewis couldn't even hurt an undersized midget in Mavrovic. His hardest punches were bouncing off a bum named Levi Billups, who he couldn't even come close to KO'ing but light hitting Vitali put that clown to sleep. Lewis pounded on another bum named Phil Jackson and needed 8 rounds to TKO him. The same bum who was put to sleep in just 2 rounds by the stiff robot Wladimir Klitschko. Lewis isn't destroying anybody. His power is nonexistent for the most part with clean punching at the top level. If Wladimir Klitschko had the guts to face Joshua at age 41, then why did Lewis retire at age 37 without fighting Wladimir Klitschko? Because it's more likely that Lewis wanted no part of Wlad, because he knew he would get destroyed.
Even Chris Byrd exposed Lennox Lewis's resume for the filth that it is. Byrd would arguably beat every opponent Lewis faced, bar 2 or 3 guys. Lewis beat no opponent more impressively than someone else did. In other words, Lewis has no special or OUTSTANDING or STANDOUT victories. NONE WHATSOEVER!
Fair enough! He fought one, obscure heavyweight not ranked anywhere close to the top 10. As it stands, Lewis is TOTALLY UNPROVEN against top southpaws. There's a reason why he avoided them, because southpaws are awkward and difficult.
It's simple: Chris Byrd literally made Vitali Klitschko quit out of his own will by forcing him to quit out of his own will and forcing him to say 'I quit' or 'NO MAS'. Whilst against Lennox Lewis, Vitali Klitschko didn't quit out of his own will. Nor did he say he quit out of his own will. Meaning, his will was still in the fight, unlike against Chris Byrd. And it was the referee who prematurely stopped the fight, outside of Vitali Klitschko's will, even though Vitali wanted to continue fighting, which wasn't the case against Chris Byrd since Vitali willfully decided to stop fighting against Byrd. So what's more impressive: a) Forcing an undefeated opponent to quit out of his own will by causing a potentially career ending injury (shoulder injury) to occur Or b) A referee prematurely stopping one's previously defeated opponent due to an injury, even though the opponent still wants to continue fighting. I know option A is more impressive!
The Wlad of 2004 wasn't the Wlad who dominated the HW division. He was more aggressive. Either he knocked you out, or you knocked him out.
