    After wobbling around like an old lady and lacing his face, then looking visibly relieved that the fight was called off on a cut, despite Vitali desperate to continue...then retiring cos his mum said so. You left all that stuff out. Why?

    Lewis is arguably the greatest HW in possibly the greatest HW era ever, Vitali is nowhere near that level. Lewis ripped the face off of and destroyed a seemingly monster H2H guy, even way out of shape and in his last ever fight? THAT is the stuff of a true ATG!

    I don't even know what my ratio is, nor do I care. I'm not saying Holyfield was no good, I am saying he was capable of being beaten by the likes of Michael Moorer. Why do you find that so difficult to swallow?

    No, cos he got schooled in the process then refused the rematch cos his mum told him to.

    You still haven't answered my question. Why should he fight if his heart isn't into it?
    Lennox had spoken well before that last fight about retiring so it isn't like he pulled that out of his arse.
    I mean Rocky retired is he less of a man because he didn't carry on until he lost?
    Is that really what you are saying because that sounds unreasonable.
    Vitali did quit against Byrd and wanted no more of Lewis un that fight.

    Vitali wanted much more of Lewis in that fight, hence his calls for a rematch which Lewis promised then went back on cos his mum told him to.

    In your head that's how it happened however in reality Lewis smashed his face in he like like he'd been savaged by a bear...
    It's nearly 20 years ago let it go.

    Really, Lewis couldn't have gone out any better, KOing the guy that would come to be seen as the iron jawed klit.

    I'm glad you have ackowledged your mental weakness in this regard.
    It's the first step to recovery.

    The first step to recovery for you is to go on YouTube and actually watch the fight you claim to know so much about.

    I've seen the fight several times uncluding when it happened. You seem to have an issue with the fact that the fight was stopped due to the damage on Vitali's face. If it was from a headbut or another foul then there would be a claim to be upset. but it wasn't Lennox was causing more damage and that is it.
    An overweight and unmotivated thinking of retirement Lewis stopped prime Vitali with devastating punches to the face.

    Go and actually watch the fight then come back with your opinion.
