Did Vitali beat Lennox up, and scare him into retirement?

Wasn't Lennox about to turn 40 when they fought? :huh

 

Er, there was around 13 months between the two fights...

 

About 38 and yes he was out for a year after the Tyson fight and at a career high weight. Lewis was in bad a shape if not worse for Klitschko than he was in Rahman I

 

Dawg and Mc have decimated Earls theory.

 

Lewis TKO6 Klitschko

smooch:blah:hi:

 

i could write an essay on why your wrong but its been said over and over again so just no

"Best win over tyson" that made me laugh ill give you that

 

yea me too

 

I am not too good at sensing when people are joking.

Three pages is pretty good mileage for a thread like this....but it is a joke isn't it?

 

What would you have preferred Lewis to hit him with?

 

Lennox Lewis was fat and out of shape, and still bullied Vitaili Kiltschko....with his share physical strength.

It was a good fight, from both fighters.

 

he cut him up hitting and holding when he was losing the fight.

 

I always laugh at the Vitali fans not even recognising the fact that he was literally running for his life against Lewis at the end of the 5th or 6th can't remember which round. When you read the posts on the other threads you would think Lewis was getting murdered.

 

he was losing the fight 4-2 on all three cards and played dirty to get the win. Keep in mind that Vitali was still suffering from the shoulder injury that retired him for four years. Lewis was lucky and bailed out because he knew he'd have to rematch Vitali.

 

Vitali was in the deep end against a fighter who knew how to tough it out. Vitali is a good fighter but Lewis showed him to be a notch below him. The cards might have been 4-2 for Vitali but the fight was all going Lewis's way at the time of the stoppage.

How did Lewis fight dirty as well. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary from Lewis he knew what he could get away with as he had been doing it in almost all his fights before it.

**** off with the shoulder injury as well didn't look to be in any pain with it and was still throwing with both hands until the end.

 

I know some people talk so much ****! Vitali was getting busted up. Also people go on like Lewis is the only guy who has ever won a fight with the other guy stopped on cuts. **** sake! it happens all the time but you don't see people bringing **** up like the Vitali Lewis fight. Whatever way you want to look at it, it was a legitimate win for Lennox, and it's sour grapes from the Klit supporters.

Just let it go. Lennox owed no one nothing after a fantastic and long career, he achieved his goals and had nothing left to prove. Vitali should have gone about and worked on building his own legacy, but instead he like his fans can't seem to get over that loss.
