no. Lewis may have been at the end of his career when they fought, but it was a cut that stopped the fight - not the fact Lewis was out boxing Vitali. People keep speeling the 'it was Lewis's punches which cut Vitali's face' blah blah, but it was Vitali who was winning more rounds, and he wasn't in his prime either. This is a fact: a fight stopped through cuts is not conclusive, in fact it is not necessarily relevant to who is the better.
Knock outs aren't conclusive, need a points decision to see who's best. I get you. Can we have 'who wins Prime Vitali v Prime Herbie Hide' next?
If a non-prime Lewis beat a Prime Vitali it doesn't take a brain surgeon to work out the answer to this question
Lewis punched Vitali in the face until it would have been extremely unadvisable medically for Vitali to be allowed to continue in the fight. It's one of the more conclusive ways to lose a fight.
Lewis didn't beat him though, he won because the fight was stopped on cuts, keep up. You don;t have to be a brain surgeon to use your ****ing imagination, do you? If you think Lewis will win, then say so, but don't say a non-prime Lewis beat Vitali because the fight was stopped prematurely on cuts, knuckle head.
