    Convenient way of ducking the fact that Lewis was out of shape.

    He put in 5lbs from another fight in which he was also heavy,and say "he only put on 5 lbs!

    How about comparing him to his prime?

    He weighed 242 for the second Holyfield. Thats 14 lbs lighter

    Ge weighed 229 against Bruno,thats a whole 27 lbs lighter!!!!!

    Lol, its sad when people come on here pretending like they know about this sport and don't know when a fighter is out of shape. But whatever bro, I guess it was my cue to stop arguing when you called 33 fight and world titlist Vitaly "green" and "inexperienced" when losing to Lewis.

    Vitaly is a huge dude, Holyfield is not that big and powerful, of course Lewis didn't need all that mass against Holyfield, but he needed it against Vitaly.
    He needed speed against Holy. If you fight a bigger guy you need more mass, if you fight a faster guy you need more speed. Capish?

    Fight should definitely not happen. Haye ran like a ***** when he fought Wladimir why should he get another shot? Because he's British?

    You obviously have no idea how weight effects a fighter. See the first and second Rahman fights as examples and than remember Lewis was older and heavier for Vits. Its not brain surgery.

    Right, so he can fight for TBR belt. He needs to get ranked by WBC before he can fight for WBC belt though.

    Nobody gives a **** about some paper title and its requirements. They have Tony Grano ranked 5th. Can you honestly say he's beaten better fighters than Haye, or is a better fighter than Haye?

    Because Vitalis said "I want to fight and ko Haye" now he should prove it.

    Strange. Michael Grant is even bigger than Vitali yet Lewis weighed 247 against him.

    Golota is an extremely powerfully built guy yet Lewis came in at 244 for that fight.

    But whatever, according to you, he decided in the less than 2 week he knew he was fighting Vitali to deliberately bulk up...

    He was gonna be fighting Johnson so he clearly said to himself "I can eat McDonalds,and momma Lewis's world famous cornbread, not train too much and still beat Johnson"....and then Johnson pulled out

    THAT is clearly what happened.

    Lennox oh Lennox, just why are you doing this to yourself?

    Now I know why HBO fired you. You've become completely delusional over the years.

    very strange indeed, are you comparing Golota and Grant to Vitaly? is this a joke?
    Also, he didn't bulk up, he gained 5 pounds. As I said before you can gain or loose 5 pounds in a day. When you take a **** it's like 2 pounds.
    This is idiocracy. I'm tired of repeating same thing again to a crazy obssesed guy with a lot of accounts on ESB so **** off with your 5 pound bull****.

    Lewis's average career weight before Vitali was 236.5 lbs

    His lowest career weight was was 221lbs

    Yet he weighed 256.5 lbs against Vitali,a full TWENTY POUNDS above his pro career average weight.

    Yeah....he trained his ass of for that fight
