    Vitali Klitschko age 31 and the next dominant champion who was clearly better than the other championcof his era, Wladimir. See Lewis Vitali analysis here

    Tucker was solid. But he beat a lot of nobodies. His best wins were a SD over McCall, a SD win over Orlin Norris, and his TKO win over Buster Douglas. There's really not much to his resume.

    Witherspoon and Norton were MUCH better than corpse of Tyson and probably better than washed up Holyfield too

    LOL. Chris Byrd's 3 best wins match Lewis' 3 best wins - Vitaly, Tua and Holyfield.

    You forget vitali was easily winning the fight vs byrd but quit because he torn his left shoulder smh. Bryd easily beat a decline holyfield cause holyfield also torn his left shoulder in the 1st or 2nd round doing that fight. Basically bird two best win? They torn their left shoulders. Sad bryd can't beat them while healthy.

    You talk like vitali was up 6 rounds to Lewis 0 before the stoppage lol. Vitali was winning by 2 rounds before the stoppage and even though he hurt Lewis in round 2? Lewis from most of the rounds was landing the harder shots busting up vitali left eye and busted vitali lips. Lewis was going to win by tko if the doctor didnt stop when vitali was in the corner sitting down.

    You are talking like aliens made them torn their shoulders. Nom tboth Vitaly and Holyfield injured their shoulders because of badly missed shots.. Byrd's defense made them torn their shoulders, that's it. And Byrd's fight against Vitali was very competetive - I had Vitali winning 5-3-1 by the time of stoppage. Vitali outlaneded Lewis 152 to 102 in 6 rounds and he outlanded Byrd just 132 to 127 in 9 rounds.

    I had Byrd beating Tua comfortably. 116-112 at leat. And Tua was in MUCH better shape against Bryd than he was against Lewis - 12 lbs lighter is a HUGE difference for 5'9'' guy

    how do you know he only got saved?

    The assumption should surely be (if you are going to assume) that Lennox had overcome much better fighter, whilst Vitali has proven only able to beat a retiree and Sam Peter at his best. Vitali has never all is career shown better ability than that.

    The evidence says you assume Lennox would have smashed him up.

    There is zero logic in assuming the opposite of all the evidence.

    Bro he didn't really train to fight byrd. Tua only focuss was losing weight in which is why he weigh 237 pounds vs bryd. Tua only focuss was losing weight, losing pounds so he can chase bryd incase bryd run.

    I was stating Lewis was saved by the cut as he was being outboxed for most of the fight.
