Lewis Klitschko post fight press conference just uploaded

Cut wins are hollow victories if you're losing the fight and duck the rematch, let alone if you go by the moniker ''The Lion'' and duck it after giving your foe your word you would give them the rematch.

Imagine McCall and Rahman decided to duck rematches with Lewis? The difference is they were men of their word and they gave Lewis the opportunity to avenge his losses to them even though he got one punch sparked out cold and knocked absolutely senseless in HL reel fashion and didn't deserve ****

The public demand for the rematch was huge and Lewis was well aware of this because the fans made it abundantly clear it was an unsatisfactory ending to a fight he was losing. But Lewis went back on his word and ducked it because he was scared and knew he would lose if he went through with it

We rightfully criticize Bowe for throwing his world title belt in the trash rather than face Lewis so likewise we must do the same for Lewis for throwing his honour and reputation in the trash rather than rematch Vitali

 

No way and even if that were the case it's only because of the sissified rules and attitude of modern boxing and fans. If fight gets stopped on a bad cut after you've beaten the crap out of your opponent then it's a decisive victory but when the fight is highly competitive or you're losing the fight as Lewis clearly was then it's an unsatisfactory ending and you haven't proven you're the better man. All that has been proven is that one fighter has tougher skin than the other. Cuts can just be due to bad luck where the right or wrong part of the glove lands at the right angle.

But you do not duck a rematch after an unsatisfactory ending like that in a fight you were losing after giving your opponent your word you would do so. We fight to establish who the better man is and that didn't happen. In fact, it did because when Lewis went back on his word and bolted into the chicken coop he tacitly admitted to Vitali that he believed Vitali was the better man.

 

Getting caught with a big shot and KO'd against the run of play is not only a satisfactory ending it's a conclusive one and even if the better man is on the receiving end of it they got KTFO and were in no position to defend themselves and if that was on the street or the battlefield it would mean game over and I don't mean merely getting KO'd game over. I mean DEATH game over

A cut eye is never a game over scenario and nor does it prove who the better man is. Vitali wanted to continue fighting and chipping away at Lewis' infamous glass jaw had the ref allowed him to, cut eye or no cut eye, there was at least a 50% chance he would've become the third man (pro boxing) to shatter that fragile jaw of his.

Many believe Lewis is the better man than Rahman and McCall because he avenged his HL reel KO losses to them despite being 1-1 vs each and McCall being high on crack and experiencing a nervous breakdown during his ring walk but the only reason why that is is because they actually rematched him even though they slept him or knocked him senseless and he didn't deserve a rematch against either.

If he was a real man he would've not only honoured his word and rematch Vitali but he would've fought rubber matches against Rahman and McCall (albeit after the later had been to detox and had completely recovered from his mental illness) to really prove who the better man was.

I have nothing against Lewis other than him being afforded a free pass for being a draft dodger and ducking the rematch after giving Vitali his word he would give him one when no other fighter would be afforded one for pulling a shameless duck like that

And I was a huge Tyson fan and you were either team Tyson or team Lewis

But it's a stone cold fact that if you stick Lewis in with any world class puncher 2 or 3 times he would get one shot KO'd in HL reel fashion at least once or twice
