Lewis is a top 5 ATG Heavyweight.

Top 10. Not top 5

 

Joe Louis is top 5.
Lennox Lewis is not top 5 but top 10

 

What a load of crock. Read the boxing rules. If cut is not result of a legal punch then the fight goes to scorecards after stoppage. It was clear as day on the replay that the cut to Vitali's eye was caused by thumb of the glove. The ref blew the call. Vitali should have been awarded TD6.

 

You are dumb.

Lennox Lewis - even at 38 years old, fat, in the worst shape of his career, was barely losing on the scorecard 58-56 to Vitali - which could easily have been scored a draw at that point (yet so many idiotic fans try to use this slim edge as validation that Klitschko "won" the fight) and still managed to take complete control of the fight heading into the 6th round and smashed Vitali's face so badly that a medical professional could not allow Vitali to get further annihilated and, in hindsight, Lennox exposed Vitali as a fraudulent champion fighting in a weak era like Rocky Marciano.

Vitali was not dominating the fight. He had a decent start and as the fight went on he was eating uppercuts left and right and continued to clinch excessively. Lennox Lewis (remember - a 38 year old, fat, out of shape Lennox Lewis) still gave him fits and forced a doctor to stop the fight because Vitali was taking such a beating. Ironically people consider this humiliating face bashing to be Vitali's shining moment - that shows how overrated of a boxer you are when getting your faced smashed while having the slimmest of leads on the scorecard is your crowning achievement.

And then you are going to say - "Oh Lennox ducked a rematch"

First of all - Lennox Lewis made Riddick Bowe duck HIM, he fought Holyfield twice, was willing to fight Tyson for several years and finally did, fought Mccall and Rahman even after being KOd, and Tommy Morrison, but some people are foolish enough to think he is scared of fighting KLITSCHKO of all people???
Secondly as mentioned several times - Lennox was 38, fat, in the worst shape ever, past his prime, and still made Vitali's face look like the deer my friend killed and put through the grinder a few weeks ago.
Thirdly - Why should a man in the physical twilight of his career (Lennox) risk his health for one more fight when he didn't take the fight seriously in the first place (still winning by TKO) and already proved his place among the all time greats? Vitali should be on his knees kissing Lennox's feet for even giving a bum like Klitschko the opportunity to fight an all time great like Lennox. Lennox isn't in the position of Joe Louis who had to come back and fight because of IRS problems, so he has no reason to risk his health after already risking it for over a decade against fighters lightyears beyond Klitschko.

Lennox is better than Vitali even at 38 years old fat and out of shape. End of discussion. Black and white. No ifs ands or buts. Lennox won fair and square. In America - it's black and white. VEGAS don't know nothin. YOU don't know nothin. I KNOW EVERYTHING.

 

And the cuts were caused by legal punches and you have never proved otherwise and whatever "evidence" you have submitted as proof of your claim has never been credible or believeable thus the result remains a perfectly legitimate and correct TKO6.

This

 

the WBO belt, that most treasured of belts.

Lewis first loss he had an idiot for a trainer, his second he spent more time preparing for a movie cameo than he did at altitude, and anyone that marks Holyfield 1 a a draw should not only hang their head in shame, they should find an optometrist.

Louis should never have lost to schmelling and l wont start onthe bum a month tour yet hes in most peoples list.
