    When he became undisputed champ?

    Or when he beat every challenger out there?

    It would be around then id guess.

  4. Because white people need a heavyweight champion bad and since Vitali did ok against a washed up fat Lennox Lewis they get all happy. Vitali couldnt be a old Lewis and a young Lewis would of iced him in a few rounds.

    Lewis never, EVER cleaned out the division. Hell, he didn't even fight the best fighters of his own era during their prime. He only became the recongized Champ after barely beating old Holyfield, then immediately turned around and lost his WBA belt because he refused to fight his #1 Challenger. Then... after beating such great opponents as Michael Grant(after just being exposed hard by Golota), and Frans Botha (who had just been knocked out by Tyson), he was knocked out by Rahman, won his titles back... beat a horrible shell of what used to be Mike Tyson... vacated his IBF title to avoid fighting his #1 Challenger... sat on his ass for a year with no reason.... all the while Wladimir Klitschko was his #1 ranked Challenger by Ring Magazine, and Lewis was called out by the HBO crew on several broadcasts about why he wasn't fighting Wladimir Klitschko... which Lewis always ducked and dodged the questions.... Then... Wlad finally slips up and loses to Sanders.... Sanders calls out Lewis as well... Lewis doesn't fight him... refuses to fight Vitali on a few occasions... signs a pathetic defense against Kirk Johnson.. the WBC refuses to even sanction it! Then, Lewis finally only fights Vitali because Kirk pulls out and Vitali is the only opponent that HBO, the WBC, and the Staples Center will agree to... Then... after that fight Lewis sits on his ass for another 8 months trying to sue Mike Tyson back into the ring... and once again chooses to give up his title, and actually even retire days after the WBC mandated that he either fight Vitali Klitschko again or be stripped of his title.

    That's cleaning out a division?:lol: He avoided his toughest challenges during his own era, and after he became Champ. He complained his entire career about "not getting a shot", and how horrible Bowe was for dumping his title rather than give Lewis his shot when he was #1 contender... then Lewis turns around and dumps all 3 of his titles to avoid fighting his own # 1 contenders.... all the while ALSO avoiding his #1 contender in ring Mag.

    WHAT?!!!:patsch

    Come on Semen. I know you can be quite delusional when it comes to the Klitschko's and all, but if a fight was stopped that mean't it ended.
