Lewis doesn't have to give Vitali a rematch, even back then Klitschko shouldn't have earned an opportunity to fight the lion for the second time. Lennox successfully defended his WBC title and beat his opponent fair and square.
I don't know why vitali had the nerve to even demand a second chance, especially when you know it would have ended with the same result, probably quicker since Lewis would have been much more prepared for the battle this time. During the first fight, vitali won the first three rounds after beating the champion with the jab, then Lewis changed his style and he went inside to make it an "alley fight", he took it to the street. Lennox roared in, using his 5 inch reach advantage to reach Vitali's tissue paper skin and cut him to pieces. The lion raised in the judges' scorecards and in the last round, due to Vitali being emabrassed by the horrible cut, Lennox was taking control of the fight. So even if the referee didn't stop the fight, i think Vitali ,due to his warrior's heart, stays on his horse until the end of the fight, but he would lose on points, due to the cuts. So yeah, this fight gives me feeling that Vitali would have lost one way or the other. And i don't see a different result had They stepped in for another match. Vitali makes it a tough fight early, Lewis change styles, goes inside, find the magestic button which was the "Quarry" type of Vitali's skin, and stops him on cut.
Vitali just met a heavyweight who was better than him. Lewis had one flaw: his whiskers, but does Vitali have the punching power to crack it? I don't think so. Lewis had Vitali's number, always has been, always, and forever will be.
Anyway, i think a fight between Lewis and Tyson would be a better idea, a much prepared tyson against a "maybe" prepared Lewis, now that would be interesting.

All of this is neither here nor there. It was Lewis' toughest fight in years. The outcome was in doubt. The public wanted to see it, which is usually good grounds for a rematch.
No disputing Lewis won fair, but a rematch would have been nice to see.
Anyway, I guess I'm treading over very old ground.
