Imagine what a prime Lennox Lewis would've done to Vitali Klitschko

No, no. HIs trainer knows more than you do.

 

As it is natural to gain weight as you gain age. If you do so, it adds to your power. That is from Jack Blackburn through Joe Louis.

 

So an overweight 37 year old who gasses in 4 rounds is "better than ever" and still a prime world class fighter...?

 

Lewis often got tired early. He fought through it because he was a great champ. It was also a function of being pushed hard.

 

Lewis never gassed in 4 rounds before Vitali.

He was also never 256 lbs and was 37 years old. He had leaky defense and was probably hit more in the Vitali fight than any other fight.

By all means, name any other fighter in the history of boxing who was in their prime while 37, overweight, and gassing in 4 rounds.

 

Louis gained weight as he aged,did it add to his power?

 

Ever heard a trainer say before a fight," my guy is out of shape and past his best?" lol

 

"30 seconds from being ko'd" lol

 

Malkovich was a vagrant's Klitschko and did pretty well against prime Lewis. In fact, Lewis was considered to be prime until the Vitali fight started.

 

Except, as I clearly said, it wasn't just before the fight. It was several months before. And that fight was made at the last minute.

 

He was pushed pretty hard by Vitali. Nor did he gas out. He was getting a second wind.

 

Lewis actually sued Tyson to fight a rematch. It's why the fight card was originally featured as a doubleheader with Tyson fighting on the undercard and Lewis defending against Kirk Johnson in the main.

But Tyson balked and said that he was the man attraction.

I favor Lewis over Vitlay but found it quite funny when he suddenly got old with no motivation to fight on.

 

He was in training to fight the opponent was changed, not the date of the fight.

 

The very simple-to-understand point is Steward didn't say it just before the fight.
