    Lennox with a full camp and strategy specifically for him for the rematch and he KO's him, not to mention he figured him out by that 6th round and was ripping his face off. Dr. Robotchko was done and prime Lewis obliterates him.

    In shape, motivate Lewis beats Vit. We know this because out of shape, unmotivated Lewis already beat Vit

    Lol Oh Lewis performed great in his rematches against a guy having a mental breakdown and another guy who’d been KTFO in his career twice prior!! No doubt!

    But we are talking about Vitali Klitschko who’d never been TKOed in a crying fit and also never even been close to stopped in his career before. :) Different story I think!

    TKO 3 huh :lol: I guess Lennox himself didn’t believe that. He called it a wrap instead!

    A VERY motivated Klitschko in 8 or 9.

    All this “Lewis was outta shape” crap is a cop out. Emanuel Steward himself said he was in fact in shape for the fight. They wanted the extra weight because Kirk Johnson was a big heavyweight and then they found out 250lb Vitali was the replacement, and they kept with that plan.

    Lewis was huffing and puff do to Vitali pretty much outmuscling him and also do to Lennox trying like hell to get him outta there but failing.

    Watch the way Lewis basically collapses onto his stool after the sixth. Lol :lol: That 7th round would have been REAL interesting.

    Problem is that Vitali can't really punch for his size. So exchanging with Lewis again might lead to a similar result, some kind of doctor stoppage.

    Vitali's boxing doesn't really work against fighters his size either, since his normal defence is keeping range with his hands down against fighters who can't reach him. So not sure how he outboxes him either. Probably just gets punched in the face almost as much as brawling.

    Wlad is a different story. Wlad had massive power in both hands and would destroy Lewis' chin. Wlad clearly had a better chin than Lewis, was never put out like Lewis, always got up, even after multiple bombs from Sanders, Joshua etc..

    Basically Lewis had a lot more power than Vitali and a lot less chin, but Vitali struggled to put people away so Lewis has the edge by still being able to cause more damage.

    Lewis had less power than Wlad and less chin too, so gets folded.

    History has proven that Lewis is better in his rematches. So I would have to favor Lewis in a Vatali rematch.

    Wouldn't have happened. Vitai had almost 70 stiches in his eye. It's shocking he is able to even see let alone fight in a bigh stakes pro match.

    It’s the year 2023 and there are still threads on who wins the rematch out of Lennox/Vitali.

    Let me know when the “How did you score Mosley vs Oscar 2?” thread starts.

    Agreed. Lewis will just do what he has to do and put the pace on vitali again and come in shape to do it. Probably another cuts stoppage. Lewis has the height and length to catch him. Plus vitai managed to hit Lewis with plenty of very good punches which Lewis was fine after taking. I really dont see how anyone could pick vitali after seeing that out of shape Lewis busting him up and making him go life and death. The only thing to expect is a better Lewis and roughly the same vitali but now with some good scar tissue to aim at. Lewis was gassed but so was Vitali. He wouldn't be able to do 12 rounds with Lewis.
