    There is a reason why Lenni ran away from the justified rematch and they had nothing to do with his mothers or wify's wishes.

    yeh he was 38, same age all the other champs were retired by except ezzard (who only got pounded out for sticking around at too advanced an age)..

    but kliturd thinks lennox shouldn't do what all the others did, so presumably they think all the others way back to john L Sullivan should have stayed on too....but they couldn't could they, they didn't have titles by then

    kliturd thinks he is right and all the HW champs in history are wrong.

    Yes, he "ran away" because he didn't want to end up a brain-damaged re**** like his pals Tyson and Holyfield did when they overextended their stay.

    I swear, you keyboard warriors chastising a 40 year old man for not deciding to keep getting his brain pummeled for no reason against men much younger and in better shape --- are the most demented people this forum has ever bred. I'd like to see you in the same position. :lol:

    the cut stopped the fight, saving vits from losing his sight.

    kliturd thinks vitali would have been better off blind and penniless.

    The only roadwork Lennox did for that fight was running up and down to the buffet.

    ... but yeah, let's have it your (and Lennox's) way ... he aged like fine wine, was better than ever and super-trained for that fight. :thumbsup Sure thing, champ. He only had a lapse of concentration for 4 rounds. No biggie. :lol:

    :-( ... Turdsters ... :-(

    Lewis was PRIME for this fight, I agree with you totally.

    He conditioned himself like frickin Rocky BALBOA :rofl He was going to stick around for YEARS. Didn't he say that? :D Dammit, he'd trained so hard that his sixpack had condensed into one GIANT muscle that bulged with POWER :thumbsup

    ... Turdster eats his own turds, again. :nut

    No, no, no. We can't have this sort of negativity.

    HEROLGEE, who is a HUGE Lewis fan, assures us that our eyes were lying to us and that Lewis was a lean, mean, fighting machine for the clash. :bbb Clearly, ol' Lennox was never better.

    We have to defer to his opinion, there's no argument about it. :nono

    Soon, HEROLGEE will tell us about how Lewis ran up and down steps for hours, and beat carcasses to bits with his bare hands in a freezer. All the while, HEROL was playing "The Eye of the Tiger" on his tin guitar. :yep He was THERE, man!

    Lewis clearly wasn't always the best conditioned athlete, to pretend otherwise is foolish. Lewis' greatest weakness wasn't his chin, it was his inconsistency, he didn't always train as hard as he should and he was sometimes overly confident and complacent.

    He prepared fine for the McCall fight, he looked in shape and was 10lbs lighter than he would be for his next fight. If anything effected his performance against McCall is was that he was looking beyond McCall as he was signed to fight Bowe in April the following year. This was also the first fight at that point in his pro career that wasn't attended by his fiancee who he had recently split with. So physically he was fine, mentally he was somewhere else and it cost him his title.

    Lewis was clearly out of shape for Rahman 1. At his heaviest to date, showed up late and didn't acclimatise to the altitude, it for me was the worst version of Lewis we have ever seen. The rematch showed clearly who was superior, he showed up at his lowest weight since Holyfield and probably gave us the best performance ever with his jab, every jab was hard and crisp, none of the pawing jabs he all too often threw.

    I dunno about your moronic imagination sh it for brains, but this is what you quoted earlier.

    The fact that you are now claiming the complete opposite shows that you indeed do have a vivid imagination, as opposed to any knowledge.

    Owned yourself yet again Auntie Bug.

    That is because Vitali has no rhythm or flexibility you numpty. He stands like a statue, and clings like a limpet when he gets it. Lewis gets hit takes a couple of steps back, then comes forward and punches that cows kunt of a face that he made need 60 stitches.

    You can cry for the next 12 years, just like you have cried for the last 12, but the reality is your boy couldn't punch to save his life against a class fighter, but the class fighter made your boy look like a gargoyle.

    No one gives a toss about Ukraine, or anyone in it, which is why the west has only said to Putin, " If you don't leave them alone we wont sell you any more potatoes " or whatever sh it it is they eat.

    Similarly, no one who matters cares less about some desperate Ukraine fighter crying like a baby because a referee stopped him from getting badly hurt for his own good.

    kliturdster - let me explain. just because you think and say something, it doesn't mean its true in the world outside your head.

    this would also explain your theories that

    1. lewis ran from vitali (after destroying prime vits whilst at retiring age himself)
    2. vitali won the fight really (by being stopped before halfway).
    3.corrie sanders was some ATG with lightning hands and super strength (but only on the day after he, in his worst retired form ever, killed prime wlad in seconds)

    This is an outstanding post, it encapsulates Lewis' occasionally inconsistent mental approach and attitude perfectly.

    It strikes me as selective at best, disingenuous at worst when posters use Rahman 1 as "evidence" of Lewis' perceived frailties whilst, at the same time, ignoring Rahman 2 because it doesn't suit their personal agenda(s).
