    No I'm not. I'm being serious. While I do agree with Lewis TKO 6 stoppage, I can see somewhat how a Klitschko fan can be outraged and never get over a loss. Much like how most Chavez fans (mostly Mexicans) tell me to "get over it" when I have brought up Taylor v Chavez, I feel the same way they do about Lewis v Klitschko. But watching the fight this weekend made me realize this must be how a Klitschko fan must feel when they watch Lewis v Klitschko.

    Yes, the Chavez win was legit (even though I must grit my teeth when I say that:mad:), but it's still painfull for me as a Taylor fan. Be happy the ref stopped the fight before YOUR fighter became damaged goods like my fighter did.:-( What made it so much more painfull was Chavez ruined him when he reached his peak. Thats what made the fight that much more tragic, AND he didn't get the WIN.:|

    Taylor Chavez wasn't a robbery, it was a good stoppage.

    Lewis TKO6 was a disgrace for boxing, Lewis got his ass handed to him and got saved by the ref from the inevitable brutal KO.

    It's an iconic comicbook and the cover is soo racially politcal at all kinds of levels. Plus I had that comicbook as a kid, good memories.

    I actually saw that Wlad had the same comicbook cover as a poster in his living room when Ali came over to see him wear lingerie. I'm pretty sure the champ left out pretty quick afterwards, saying he "had to do some roadwork" or some lame excuse like that.

    No comparison. Taylor was down and clearly did not know where he was. All he had to do is to take his hands off the ropes and take a step forward. Lewis-Vitali was stopped on a cut caused by an illegal punch.

    "Cunningham TKO5 Ross" is a better example of a robbery comparable to "Lewis TKO6"

    Okay. I think they are closer in comparison than that, but that is your opinion.:good

    I voted for lennox vs Vitali because I just checked on boxrec and Lennox never gave Vitali a rematch. Any reason for this?

    Pretty sure you couldn't lose a swab inside Taylor's eye after 6 rounds.

    I've seen fights get stopped for cuts not as bad as Vitali's. His face was a mess and if it wasn't stopped in that round, it would have got stopped in the 7th or 8th

    Probably because it would have just been more of the same.

    He beat the hell out of him once, he couuldn't bring himself to kill him.
