He gets credit because everyone expected him to quit, basically. He probably would have quit too, if the doctor hadn't taken the decision away from him.
I agree with four of the six possible answers in the poll. I do think Lewis would probably have knocked Vitali out had the fight gone on, I do think the most important thing is the actual result, I do think Vitali deserves credit for having been up on the scorecards, and I do have something else to say(that last sentence).
Even with a lot of people saying that only the result matters, most of y'all are saying Lennox or Vitali would've won by KO. Pretty close though.
Lennox won... Plain and simple... THE RESULT SAYS LEWIS TKO6 KLITCHSKO, Klitchsko fans will say anything, i remember a klit fan making a post about Lewis using his braids to open up the kiltcsko cut :bart atsch
I picked "Give Vitali a little credit, the scorecards favored him" because that fits closest to my opinion. I don't know who would have won. Vitali had Lennox in some trouble. He impressed me with his accuracy. It was a poor way for Lewis to go out.
i totally agree about having 2 winners gatti-ward was similar or hearns-hagler but the point was that vitali is a loved fighter and lennox was disliked only the real boxing fans liked lennox. it was a great way to go out in my opinion beat the man who would become the next lineal champion but lennox won whatever was going to happen vitali was starting to fade ,miss shots and get backed up...im almost sure he would of finished vitali while klitschko was on his feet.good(sane) post:good
really he stopped a man who would later go on to be the best of his division whats wrong with that:huh
of course why didnt i think of this. they are laced to gether by razor wire if i remember correctly:think thats it i changed my mind vitali by glorious 10th round knock out
