    yeah, he was a bully, so he probably did have a weak threshold for pain. i know when they fixed his eye in the holyfield fight , he cried out in pain, like a woman or child. but the cut wasn't that bad. nothing like, say, holyfield's cut vs holmes.. that was a nasty cut.. and holyfield just sat there for that fix-it.

    seemed like he was looking for a place to fall in that fight, though.

    Such ****. Lewis has Vitali OUT on his feet at the bell ending round six. Open you GD eyes for Christs sake.

    Watch the last 30 seconds of the round. Lewis clips Vitali with a right hook to the side of his head and he staggers forward into Lewis. Lewis ends the round with a huge uppercut. Vitali had their been a round 7 would have been knocked out.

    Not really Lewis was out of gas. Vitali has never been knocked down. Just because Vitali used a smart survival tactic doesn't mean he was going to get knocked out. Lenni had no gas and nothing left to finish him with.

    No idea of what you are talking about. Watch the fight again but this time lose the vodka.

    Nope, you need to watch the fight again. Even the Sky Sports commentators (from Lenni's home town) at the end were admitting that Lewis was completely gassed at the end of round 6 and was extremely lucky that the fight had been stopped on cuts.

    Bigger height, bigger reaches, more weight and strength but these lenni nuthuggers just have a fetish to troll.

    You consistently hate on Lewis but I cannot understand why. Is it that hard to understand that anybody can have an off night? At his best he is undeniably at top 5 ATG at heavy.

    That us a completely different question. I agree he was a front runner to a large extent but his ability to take punishment also has to be recognized. They aren't mutually exclusive.
