    Samuel Peter, Lennox Lewis, Corrie Sanders, Chris Byrd, and Kirk Johnson were simply unable to do so.

    Can anyone do it?

    Lewis would have in his prime. Lewis was old, fat and out of shape at the time he fought him and still managed to make him fight his fight.

    Lewis came into fights at 250 all the time, this time he came in only at 256.

    The Lewis was too fat argument simply is invalidated because 6 lbs for a Super HW is really nothing at all.

    Byrd won a single round against a 1 armed Vitali.

    Argument invalidated.

    You think Lewis was at his best, in his prime and in top shape for the Vitali fight?

    It was Vitali that made Lewis look bad, not his age/weight.

    Lewis would have looked his usual self if he was facing anyone else that night.

    There's no way Lewis of that age was the Lewis of prime. You could see he wasn't as sleek as in his prime.

    He was gassed by second round. That has nothing to do with Vitali - that's to do with Lewis' condition. When an out of shape Lewis was capable of doing that to Vitali's face, what do you think a prime Lewis would have done?

    Not a chance, they get knocked out unless they cheat or get lucky.

    Ali.
    Holmes.
    Changing subject would've loved to see a prime foreman go at him.
