Lewis did some interviews in the past couple days and said "Vitali couldn't beat me at my worst". So my question is: "Who could beat him at his worst?" If you take a look back through Lennox Lewis's pro record, and imagined him fighting those same opponents, but fighting them in the condition he was in when he fought Vitali. Who would have beat him? Would he have more losses?
Prime Lewis would TKO Quitali within 6 rounds. Oh wait old Lewis already did that atsch Prime Lewis would spark out Quitali in 3.
Lewis even to this day takes cheap silly pot shots at Vitali, this is proof Lewis was scared and feared a rematch. And to this day is mad that everyone knows he was a coward. Vitali trained for a week or two and only lost to a fully trained Lewis because of a lucky cut.
OK so let's say for arguments sake that Lewis was at his absolute prime when he fought VITLAY. He still won. Argument over.
If Vitali couldn't beat Lewis then a hybrid of Tyson/Louis/ALI/Valuev couldnt beat him either according to him. That said, Vitali KO 1 early Lewis since Lewis did not have the cutbraids in his early prime. Vitali KO 10 Lewis after he first got the cutting braids, and Lewis KO6 when he was at his smartest, effectively using his head slashing braids everytime he got inside.
Lewis made an ass out of himself with his commentary on the fight. Trying to make excuses that Solis was "pre-injured" before the fight. Solis looked like he was boppin' around pretty good to me before he got KTFO. The sycophant sitting next to Lewis was just as bad. "Yes Lennox you're right Lennox I agree Lennox" Lewis is definitely haunted by Vitali Klitschko
