Facts about Vitali

Hilarious.

 

Fearless? The rematch was penciled in for Dec 03 until your guy cried off and went into hiding. He went 'right back' at Rahman because he had a rematch clause. Not sure what is so brave about that. He quit with unfinished business and has dined out on a cut since.

Lewis agreed to fight VK only as a late replacement for Kirk Johnson. You claim he wasn't in shape but he'd had a full camp for Johnson. VK had two weeks to get himself ready.

Not sure 32 y/o Vitali was prime. I'd put his prime a couple years earlier before the knee and shoulder issues, 98-00, was more an arm puncher after that and during the comeback years 08-12.

 

Yes I was speculating......do you admit all your talk about what was in Lewis' head when he decided to retire is also speculation?

Lewis rematched both Rahman & McCall in timely fashion - that was a weak attempt man you're really reaching.

Vitali was prime. How he was regarded has nothing to do with it.

Man, you guys must either dislike Lewis, or you're the biggest Vitali fans in the world. Everything you're saying is biased assumption. Again, there is zero proof for what is being said, it's just opinion - can you at least admit that?

 

You're really sounding desperate here - ok, so the McCall rematch wasn't immediate, so what? Now you're insinuating Lewis was scared of McCall?

Insanity. You guys just aren't being reasonable at all.

 

I gave you a bunch of facts dude. Now your taking fresh air swings lol.

 

Theargument for Vitali is one based on white supremacy. Vitali didn't do anything special before the Lewis fight, during that fight or after it. Could have, would have, should have and didn't.

 

Judging other people's motives is something impossible to do. If you however look at how badly whooped Vitali got then it wouldn't have been humane at all for Lennox to step into the ring with him again. Skipping the Vitali rematch was also the best thing for boxing.

You have to be putting in work for the race to see Vitali as ahead on points at the time of the stoppage.

Vitali was done at the time of the stoppage, an easy ko waiting to happen in the next 2 rounds. And all bloody.

Huge money on the table.... if you have your 100 million dollars, is the next 50 million dollars really going to change anything? You are looking at this from the perspective of a poor man. Fact is that when you have enough then you don't really care.

You can't be working this white supremacy angle and saying retirement this and that without addressing the fact that your hero Vitali ducked Tyson Fury and chose to have his retirement fight against Manuel Charr instead.... maybe Manuel also retired Vitali the same way that Vitali is alleged to have retired Lewis?

 

This is such a disingenuous thread.

Purely set up to trash a legend.

Shameful.

 

DC should honestly be kissing Fury's ring for those paydays.

 

Vitali was on the same bill as Lennox & Kirk , I cannot remember who it was he was scheduled to meet but the idea was for the two winners to meet. Kirk pulled out. To say Vitali had only 2 weeks to prepare for Lennox I asinine. What other champ put his world titles on the line against his #1 contender with just two weeks notice ???.... I'll wait. Lennox was barely 80 %

 

The name you are looking for is Cedric Boswell, maybe a C class guy of the era, was stopped by McCline in next outing. Not sure Vitali would have had much of a serious camp on that guy but you obviously think he did. Yes, they were scheduled to meet in Dec if Lewis looked after Johnson. The same date was supposed to be the rematch date but one party cried off and ran away. Later demanded Vitali fight Johnson and cried off again after Vitali demolished him. Maybe Lewis was down to 70% by then, eh? A definite 100% PAB.
