    Welcome to the board's biggest joke poster. :barf "The cut lottery" - what a stupid phrase. No luck involved there, only skillfull punching and a legitimate win.

    Vitali is back to his cherry picking best trying to fight a 43 year old man, he'll be trying to get Joe Frazier out of retirement next.

    The guy you're talking about didn't want a bar of Vit when he was 37, remember?

    Well, if George Foremans word is final (which is a bizarre concept anyway) he also said during the Lewis v Vitaly fight that Lewis was walking through Vitlays punches, and had no respect for his power.

    Based on that, a rematch goes the same way. Vitlay hit Lewis with his best shots (in Rd 2), and couldn't stop him.

    If he couldn't do it then, when catching Lewis cold, no way does he do it in a rematch.

    Vitali would have stopped Lewis in round 7, Angelo Dundee said Vitali was robbed of the title that night, also Max Kellerman, who was sitting right behind Lewis' corner, said that he had never seen Lewis' flop down on his stool like that, he was finished, watch the fight, Vitali was ahead. Lewis was holding on to Vitali for dear life. Vitai broke Lewis' nose, Lewis retired.

    Well well, somebody heard George say that!? After the fight he had time to reflect, Vitali made the currently busy 37 yr old title holder look old, overweight, gassed, out of steam, ring rusty and done, retire rather than fight again! All this after Lewis called him out in 10 days to fight the fight of his career. Vitali came back after a 4 year layoff and at 37 whipped the ass off the fat blaeck nigerian to prove to the world that Lewis made the right choice in retirement.:good :smoke

    All this would have, could have should have stuff is pitiful and embarassing. The facts of the matter are, Vitali took enough punishment against a well past prime and heavy Lewis to get stopped. Just because you are leading 4-2 it doesn't ****ing matter, this was a cut opened by a punch, not a headbutt.

    I had it 4-2 for Lewis, Lederman and the HBO crew (who were obviously biased towards Vitali) had it 3-3.

    My point here is that the rounds were very close and 1 round shift makes it a draw (in terms of scoring).

    So I can only :huh :huh my head with all these Klit lovers making so much **** about the scores. They sound like it was an absolute domination. :patsch

    Styles make fights.... In my view, Klitschko would always give Lewis some real trouble... BOTH guys are great.... Throughout a series, they'd both take their lumps.... No bullspit there... None at all... Peace..:hat
