I don't think any of us are denying that Lewis is an ATG and that VITLAY is a very good figher, I'm certainly not denying that. What I am denying is all the bull**** that surrounds him getting his face re-arranged by Lewis. He's a very good fighter but if he was great he'd have beaten the ageing champ, like many others did before him - but he fell short, and that's what he'll be remembered for, primarily.
I accept that but that not the norm, I hear all kinds of **** about how he would beat a peak Ali, Holy, Louis, Tyson, Foreman etc. decent fighter but not great, as for Lewis he is great but I wonder what would've happened had he fought younger versions of Holy and Tyson. As for you, you're one of the biggest haters on this forum, you go out of your way to discredit RJJ. I'm just a realist.
What I am sick of is all this fat Lewis stuff. Is it VitKlit's fault Lewis supposedly did not train? Vitali can't train for him. How stupid does it sound if I started spewing "Arreola is about to fight the oldest version of Vitali Klitschko" and what if Vitali comes in at like 253 and I say "Arreola is fighting the fattest oldest and most unmotivated Klitschko in history" That sounds idiotic you realize that right? Lewis was far from fat against VitKlit the man is 6'5" it is not like he was 5'10". This whole thing is stupid. Nobody has to like the Klitschko's. Hell there are fighters I don't like but I don't start making ridiculous excuses just because a fight did not go the way I wanted it to. Some of the crap you say about Lewis makes you sound as bad or worse than the most delusional Klitschko fans. You realize that right? You are no different than the people you are mocking on here.
are you not smart enough to realize the MAJORITY of those threads are started by trolls or people with multiple accounts on here? I don't like comparing: 1. fighters of different era's 2. fighters that are still active to retired ATG's. In my opinion Vitali klitschko because of his Chin, height, and awkward style would be a formidable opponent for any Heavyweight in History. Is that too delusional of a comment/opinion for you? I am not saying he would beat ATG so and so. All I am saying is he would be a tough out for a lot of Heavyweight ATG's. Is that too delusional for you?
Lewis won period, people try to pretend that Vitali was toying with Lewis and that Lewis got saved by the cut, which is total BS, and then they act like Vitali losing to an old Lewis is a great accomplishment as well.
Can you please show me where I have or am acting like Lewis did not win the fight? It was a damn good fight probably one of two truly great Heavyweight fights this decade and some of you morons try and cheapen that because you either don't like someones opinion of the fight or the fight did not go like you thought it would. That is pitiful.
What prime performances? Being KTFO by Rahman? Beating a 37 year old much smaller Holyfield that lost to Ruiz a year later(it seems a 37 year old Holyfield is a great fighter and win and 37 year old Lewis is pure garbage. Double standard?)? Beating a completely shot Tyson that was KOd by Danny Williams a year later? Beating David Tua that was schooled by the small Byrd 9 months later? Winning a controversial decision over Mercer that was schooled by prime Holyfield? etc. etc. Lewis has been overrated since his retirement mainly because of being the only boxer Brits can hype so you have 60 million people praising his greatness since he retired. A great boxer but kind of overrated these days. Lewis's resume flatters to decieve. Holyfield has a better resume by far and yet he is rated by most people quite a few places bellow Lewis and even Tyson.
I'm beginning to think the Vitali-Arreola fight is going to look like the Kirk Johnson fight. i see Arreola coming to the ring with a belly and just getting destroyed in one way or another, I think Arreola might be competitive for a round or so though.
Arreola doesnt deserve the fight. Too slow, too fat and looks like ****. Hasnt beat a contender. The McLine fight sucked. Nothing more than a human punching bag for Vitali.
the hell...arreloa don't even know how to block...what makes you even consider that arreloa has a chance of beating vitali?
I don't c Vitali losing 2 anybody right now... The Riverside native will have to b ready for this. I'm still going with Arreola as a fan AND I think he will b more than ready fight night!
