Wladamir Klitshko Vs Lennox Lewis

You think so?

It's funny though, many people diss fighters exactly for not rematching their conquerors.

This is very interesting, care to elaborate?

 

Easy win for Lewis

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

This is the man who creamed in his jeans when WALDO beat Brewster in the rematch, and slated Lewis for not rematching VITLAY.

Excuse me Mr Barman, I'll have a standards please. No, in fact make it a double.

 

Name your top 10 heavyweights of all time. I bet all but about 1 or 2 will have unavenged losses on their records. Nobody actually thinks that Ross Puritty is better than Wlad, and nobody would give Wlad credit for beating Sanders... because everyone knows that was supposed to happen anyways. The point is not that you HAVE to seek out people who beat you and fight them again... the point is that you show that you have learned from your loss, and that it doesn't define you. The ONLY time that a rematch makes is if both fighters are still at the top of the division. Sanders refused to fight Wlad when Sanders was still ranked highly in the division, then Sanders retired soon after Vitali beat him... would fighting Sanders make any sense at all, now? Would fighting and beating Puritty make Wlad a better fighter in your eyes? Hell, he fought Brewster again... did the same damn thing that he was doing to Brewster in the first fight, only he didn't cave in from within the second time around and nobody wants to give him any credit for it. It's pointless.

 

Clearly you haven't read what I have posted on the subject of rematches... over and over again. Vitali was obviously still Lewis' top contender, Vitali wanted the rematch, Lewis promised the rematch, the WBC MANDATED the rematch... that's a bit of a different story. Lewis was lucky enough that the people who beat him gave him a rematch... Wlad wasn't so lucky. He doesn't NEED those rematches to prove his worth. Now, IF Sanders somehow came back into the seen... beat some top contenders, ect... of COURSE Wlad would HAVE to rematch him at that point, or it would mean a lot. That would be because Sanders was a top dog out there, and had a win over Wlad. As it stands... Sanders is at the bottom of the heap, and Wlad has clearly suprassed that loss. So obviously, a rematch wouldn't mean anything.

 

I would. If it happened soon after the first fight, of course. Not like 5-6 years after, but within 2-3.

Co-Sign.

No and no.

To be fair, the version of Brewster in the rematch was worse than in the first time they fought. I thought he lacked the will, the hunger that he had in the first fight. Still, I give Wlad credit for making the fight happen and winning convincingly.

 

That did not make sense.

Very simple concept, some fighters are good, and matter on a resume. Some are bad, and dont matter.

 

What tat. Firstly, Vitali has as much a claim as Wladimir. He was the man (Not Champion however) back when he retired, he came back and won back a title.

Secondly, neither are a true Champion. They have GOT to unify the belts for that honour. Wlad may be number 1/2, but he is decidedly NOT the undisputed HW Champion of the world.

Thats what Ali was, Holmes was, Tyson was, Lewis was. Wlad at this point is just a titlist. He has beaten nobody for the linear title, (Nor can he) so he has to start a new lineage and grab all the belts.

''Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World'' has a slightly better ring to it than ''WBO/IBF HW champion of the World'' doesn't it?

 

Part of Ali's perceived greatness is that he beat Foreman, and Foreman never got a rematch. I am sure he would have beaten Ali the second time around.

Aside from Foreman Ali doesn't have stellar wins on his record.

 

This is not true. The rematch was the same one-sided battering as the first fight except that a) Brewster was not floored (instead chose to quit) and b) Wlad did not mysteriously collapse.

I still consider the collapsing of Wlad one of the most bizarre events ever seen.
If you want to see how Wlad looks when gassed then watch the Puritty fight. If you want to see a mysterious collapsing (includung different sized pupils and near-glucaemic coma blood values) then watch the Brewster fight. His then-trainer said that he couldn't get his body to warm up already in the cabin, and actually he looks already tired when stepping into the ring.

The only time where Wlad got chinned without a doubt (although there was actually a headbutt involved) is the Corrie Sanders fight.

 

I noticed that with every fight more he wins, the storm gets weaker and weaker and the critics have a harder and harder time.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

Hoho, Klitite quote of the day!

In fact possibly self ownage of the year?

 

I'll thank RightCross for defending me in another post..

But you must be joking! Comparing Wlad to Ruddock, Golota, Grant and Briggs? And I did say NOW, his defense is better NOW then it was in his loss to Sanders. I say NOW because since that fight he has worked on negating that very thing from happening again.

Speaking of quick KOs... Wlad also KO'd Austin in 2 rounds, but that's not exactly a "typical" performance for him, now is it? Both Wlad and Lennox have quick KO ability but the chances of either of them ending the fight early is unlikely.
