Lewis reason for not giving vitali a rematch.

watched the ringside special on lewis, and he gave an amalgamtion of 2 reasons why he didnt rematch vitali.

1) vitali is a nice guy and he didnt have the hatred or passion to fight him again.

2) he felt he performed badly in the first fight and is in no doubt he would have defeated him easier had he been on form.

and ya know what, i agree with him. i'm not saying lewis beats vitali 10 out of 10 or anything like that. but it is clear who the superior fighter was, lewis is well proven in terms of legacy. so much so, majority assume he would have beaten moorer, byrd, ruiz and bowe (arguably the only 4 names that would enhance his legacy).

the one thing i dint like about the interview was his undermining of rahman. he admitted mccall caught him with a great shot, although he felt he could continue, but he dismissed rahman as a lucky shot. now obviously lewis knows more than i ever will regarding boxing, but i didnt see it that way.

overall the interview was good, i hope he stays retired though, his legacy is sealed, he has nothing left to achieve in boxing. he has served the sport well, and it is well withing his rights to reap the rewards he earned.

 

lol if it wasnt for the last minute punch taylor would have dethroned chavez.

**** does happen.

and as for caring, well i just seen the interview half an hour ago so its fresh in my mind lol

 

haha i know. the first few post are usually good, but by page 2 it will probably just be a bitchfest lol

 

as i said, in england we have a boxing program every week called ringside, and this weeks edition was a lewis special. i just watched it so its fresh in my mind.

 

sky sports every thursday! it is really good although it focuses a bit too much on domestic action
