    Please discuss.

    Keep it civil. :yaay:aaaaa::applaudit::band::clapclap::dogpile::eusa_dance::lupie:

    Lennox Today-

    "Lennox Lewis I can't help it if he cuts easily. He had cuts all over his face. Not just his eye. This is what happens in boxing if u hit someone hard enough."

    "Lennox Lewis If I had continued to fight on, he would have gotten a rematch, but I planned to retired after Tyson fight... I can't keep on taking just one more fight. This is the biggest mistake all the greats in history have made. I beat him at my worst. No need to keep fighting for me."

    "Lennox Lewis being down by two points midway through a fight is no different than being down by 7 points at the half of a basketball game. Do u really think this will determine who wins the game at the end. Also keep in mind. I wasn't in there trying to win on points."

    I think you are trying to start ****. As evidenced by starting a 14 year anniversary thread. I mean FFS dude you couldn't wait just wait 1 year to make a round 15?

    Vitali took the fight in 2 week notice? If he had proper training camp he would have stopped Lewis.

    Vitali fought out of his skin that night and still came up short vs the worst version of Lewis, who landed all the big shots of the fight.

    A fresher Lewis would have stopped him in a one-sided affair.

    He was in training for a fight of his own. It was always Lummox who had the lax attitude towards training and at 37 it really showed.

    The fight that made me a Klitschko fan forever and casually get into boxing(didn't become a hardcore for a while) Classic HW fight that was probably the best and most important HW fight of the new millennium until being usurped by his younger brothers war with Joshua over a decade later.

    Lennox ATG, very underrated because not American, even when he by himself destroyed the US heavyweight scene. Last but not least he beat Vitali. Very good, old European boxing school.

    With Joshua we can experience the same like in the era of Lennox. Bring back all the titles where they belong to!

    did you think AJ/Wlad was better than LL?/VK? i thought Lewis Vitali was a lot better, although i'm in the very small minority that doesn't think AJ/Klit was as great as everyone keeps saying

    Well I'm sure Herol is always up for talking about why he still can't go a single day without angrily posting about Calzag... I mean Joe Calzaghe.
