    "Scuse me bro, Lamon Brewster had two fully functioning eyes before, during & after the second fight with Wladimir. He said so himself. "The eye was not a factor at all" if I remember correctly.

    He did, but he also said a little later, "That I'm not going make excuses like Wlad did when I beat him, he was the better man tonite, I just hope we can do it again since we each have a win each other now", so if you want to read between the lines you can, but I think most people would say Brewster just wasnt himself that night, and chose to use the caution first approach instead of his usual brawling style.

    As far as I'm concerned that ends the discussion right there. Wlad has a great offense, but unfortunately he can't deal with pressure as well as Lewis, and he doesn't have the inside skills, (ie uppercut, holding etc) that Lewis had. Otherwise he'd be a great, great fighter..

    which of the lucky cuts are we talking about..there were numerous cuts on Vitali, not just one. :yep

    And I don't think Lewis avoided Byrd, I think he simply felt it wasn't a marketable fight at that point in his career. You don't seriously think Byrd would have beaten him do you?..surely Wlad isn't that much better than Lewis that the outcome would have been marketedly different.

    Lewis was a gunshy heavyweight, the fight could have taken much longer than it did with Wlad. And then we can only surmize at the outcome, Lennox avoided it! Byrd was slick. :yep

    I agree, it's old news, but I remember when the fight was made, everyone asked, Vitali who? Even Lennox asked the question. I even asked the question, but was pleased to see one helluva' fight break out that night.:bbb :bbb
    Fact is, Vitali made an imprint that few imagined. He completely surprised Lewis and gained his respect.
    This was a heavyweight fight to die for...regardless of the outcome, this matchup had the potential to be on the all time best list, so let us treat this post with respect and kinda' move on:deal
    Thanks.
