There is absolutely no doubt in my mind Lewis would have gottem KO'd in the 7th

i think lennox doubted his chances in a rematch and retired. few brits blame him. thats logical

 

dude get over it **** off with your gay ass old ****

 

Well your credibility is shot with me if you're trying to tell me with any degree of certainly what would have happened had the fight continued, because NOBODY knows, what would have happened.

My best guess is that Vitali's injuryed eye would have gotten worse and he would have gotten seriously injured perhaps permanently, but it's simply speculation, and unlike you, I've never said it was anything but that. By any rational objective measure, Lewis won the 6th round and was seriously hurting Vitali, the state of his face makes that clear.

Now would Lewis have tired out in the later rounds, maybe, maybe not, but factually, Lewis, unlike Wlad by the way, has never quite a fight due to exhaustion, so this really is doing him a disservice by suggesting in his very last fight, he's quite, when history shows otherwise.

 

Yes. This is a sad truth.

To be fair to Lewis, though, Bowe would never fight him. And that wasn't Lewis' fault.

Lewis was an excellent, if (in my opinion) overstated, champion. In many ways, Lewis was a guy who thrived at being a bully due to his physical gifts (height, size, reach). In other words, there is the thought he would not have been nearly the same fighter had he been smaller in stature.

When Lewis met Vitali, most of those physical advantages were negated. And the results were fairly clear.

This has to be restated: At the time that Vitali and Lewis fought, the general feeling was that Wlad was the better brother. And Lewis' "Klitschko Proxy," Corrie Sanders, had just destroyed Wlad. So Lewis almost certainly thought he was going to blow out "Quitter" Vitali. This mentality was reflected in Lewis' trying to jump on Vitali from the opening bell. Lennox thought he could punk Vitali like Vitali was Michael Grant.

Didn't work so well.

Lewis is not a dumb man. He knew he escaped, and he walked away. And walking away got a little easier after Vitali broke down Klitschko Proxy Corrie Sanders less than a year after Vitali and Lewis fought.

 

Well I'm not brit so I don't know why you keep bringing nationality into it, but I agree, one of the possible reasons, and perhaps the most likely reason he didn't rematch Vitali is he felt he'd lose..that said, he does have a history of winning big in rematches..that's also a fact.

 

Your view of my credibility isn't important here. My caring about my credibility is not focused on one possibly-blinded-by-fandom poster. It is to the wider forum community, as well as to the professional fighters, commentators and trainers who come on here.

Not to be rude, but you're not who I'm shooting for in terms of trying to impress someone. Your logic is flawed, such as it is "logic." I know you want to defend your position, but you're not doing so very ably. But, hey, you did change "beneigth" to "beneath," so that's a start. Keep working; just keep working.

 

i was more of a bruno fan to be honest with you.

my point is simple, the way things worked out benefited vitali much more.

rather than rematch and beat a guy who would have been dismissed as shot (losing to rahman, losing the event to vit 1, losing to vit 2) he'd have got little credit.

instead vitali retired allowing the best fighters to duke it out, them being sanders and vitali. so vitali got to establish his dominance over a new era, until injuries took that away from him.

As for lewis ducking sanders, all i'd say is the only guys that show up on my list of opponents i'd have liked to see lewis face are: bowe, moorer, foreman, holmes, wladimir. wladimir being in the immediate aftermath of the vitali fight.

 

Cut and Run ®

 

Oh i feel so greatfull to have you to "eduecate" me...:-( the only thing you have done is trying to convince us,that Vitali "For sure" would had knocked out Lewis,because Vitali "Dont get hurt" ect. ect. Please!!
Vitali won the first 4 rounds lost the last 2 IMO.And was stopped....what could had or would had happen is ONLY wishfull thinking,not FACTS.

 

I'm sure it makes you feel better to think that... in which case Lewis should've fought him again. Instead, he went out on a sour note. That bothers me more than the first fight.

 

Steward has said he did not like the idea of Lewis facing Sanders. That is, there's a reason that fight didn't happen.

It makes sense, given the history, for Lewis to allow his Klitschko Proxy, Sanders, to try to take out Vitali for Lewis. As Sanders did with Wlad.

But, it didn't work out. And that result probably helped Lewis decide to stay away from a Vitali rematch.

Take care, man. I got to get back to work. :good

 

well as i said, i'd have much preffered them 5 to a corie sanders, altho he isn't far down on the list.

have fun! i've just got back from a hard day at school! (as a teacher, not a pupil lol)

 

Whatever, this has become pointless..

 

I like how paulfv keeps popping in and out from "work" (aka jacking his tiny dick to big black butts or something) to educate us mis-informed Lewis fans with his crazy conspiracy theories that he spends like an hour typing out for this stupid, pointless thread.

Thanks bro, it's really appreciated.

 

Thats the opinion of all knowledegable and sensible boxing fans. :thumbsup
