    Lewis his prime wouldn't have outbox him - he'd have stopped him earlier.

    Well now in all fairness, Chris won the 5th and 9th before Vitali quit, if you watch it.

    I thought Vitali was called in on short notice for that fight?

    Yeah, Lewis would have done it. He was only prevented from doing so in the actual fight by the fact that he won by TKO.

    Tyson Fury would have got into Vitali's mind and clowned him on the night.

    Whenever Lewis jabbed he would stop Vitali in his tracks.

    Lewis wasn't trying to box. He was trying to blast Vitali out.

    Exactly. There was one point in that fight where he hits Vitali with a huge full bodied jab that just rocks him to his boots. That was the story of the fight there. No boxing, just seek and destroy.

    There was a time before this fight when Lennox Lewis was not only big but FAST as well, by the time he fought he was just big and smart.

    Go watch Lewis vs Ruddock or Morrison.
