    I think Lewis was past it and was not in great shape (came in at a career high weight).So I think Vitali is getting a little too much credit for his effort.

    Lewis won obviously, I also have him h2h no1 all time everyone at their absolute best, but Vitali become a better fighter after the Lewis fight. I think h2h these two are the best ever

    I rate both these guys very highly and I think if they'd rematched Vitali would have taken it. Lewis was not in prime shape; his cardio in particular was shot for that fight. Primes, who knows. I think Vitali could do it but it would be hard not to favour Lewis on pedigree.

    why would he?

    I can see why you'd want him to, but, the reality is, no.

    And Lewis's face from Mercer's jabs that he was eating all 10 rounds told the story also. :)

    How can people say Lewis was fat? He had a flat stomach and huge muscles.

    Fat is someone like Toney, Arreola or even Povetkin. Yet Lewis had the body of a Greek God compared to any of those guys.

    I think Lewis caught Vitali pre-prime ( technique wise ) , as he improved a lot after this fight. Vitali only had 2 weeks perpetration for a no name 10 round match. Lewis was preparing for a 12 round match vs Kirk Johnson.

    This fight happened by accident when Kirk Johnson pulled out with an injury. Klitschko had to sue Lion Productions as Lewis signed to meet him but never did.

    You tell me McVey? Looks like an illegal backhand swipe over the eye region, a clear foul that wasn't called and very well could have caused the bad cut.

    And he and Ray Mercer didn't get a re-match. Notice a trend?

    PS: I thought you were banned. Welcome back.

    yes, the pattern of - people who get ripped to shreds (virali, bruno) have as much chance of getting a rematch as those who just get outpointed. (mercer). errr, yeh not a pattern then.

    oh wait the pattern of you thinking theres a pattern to explain vitali getting whupped, when there clearly isnt a pattern, i get you. Yeh that is definitely a pattern for your posts.

    you thought wrong, so sadly I cant welcome you back to reality, not just yet.

    I see a pattern, when Lewis won in a tough fight, there was never a re-match. Three examples: Bruno, Mercer, Vitali.

    However when he lost or drew ( McCall, Holyfield, Rahman ), there was always a re-match for him.

    yeh he pulverised em apart from Mercer.. But I dont see you making it your lifes work in seeking a rematch for Ray, presumably because his surname isnt Klitschko.

    Because they were contracted to fight the rematch with the champion.

    And when that was the case, lewis turned up and whupped em. Two words that you cant use in a sentence about your Wladdie's rematches.

    Yes, but no one here ever tried to say otherwise.
