Lewis vs Klitschko 2... The Rematch prediction

Rematch? VK owned him.

 

Ruiz? HAHAHAH

And he lost to Chagaev UD 12.

There goes your hairy giant. He's a nobody that has no credible wins in his record.

So who else is Vitali going to fight? Who's a legit contender in your view?

I'll tell you: NOBODY. Either Klit could beat Godzilla, King Kong and Jesus Christ in the same ring and you still would say that doesn't mean a thing.

 

You're right, my bad. Though it was a scandal being a MD. This was as uncontroversial a bout as one could get. Even Sauerland's/Valuev's German TV station was shocked how one delusional judge had it a draw.

 

This sets the tone for the rest of your post.

Complete horse ****.

He weighed in at his heaviest EVER, 256 lbs, and hadn't fought in a year. Hell he was 253 vs Rahman and look what happened there!!

3-5 lbs, 'a new milestone in training' :rofl

Who's in denial?

 

Sorry, it's the other way around. Vitali beat the sh*t out of Lewis and retired him on top of that. Lewis got lucky Vit was cut, that's all to it.

 

It would take an insider to know this. Lennox wanted to do to Johnson what Vitali ended up doing to him. He trained hard. Heavy doesn't mean out of shape, and Steward had him attempting to bulk up to add more power. Lewis had the frame for it, though it was ill-advised. He wasn't completely in his prime, as he was 37 years old anyway you slice it, but he wasn't far off as he had a relatively easy career in terms of punishment and never really let himself out of the gym. Lennox was a true champion, and though people with anti-Klitschko agendas try to paint him as sorely out of shape, its an insult to a great champion. He came in ready to destroy his opponent. He just happened to meet another very good, strong heavyweight, and they banged eachother up. Watch the fight. Thats why they were exhausted. Talk about battering one another. Once Vitali's eye got laced by that seam, there was no defending it. Cuts get worse with impact, even if it was somewhat of a lucky cut(Getting seamed is like getting struck by lightnine with today's gloves). Kudos to Lewis for seizing his opportunity and punishing his foe till it had to be stopped, but he wanted nothing to do with Vitali, ever again. He knew that if the cuts healed and he couldn't open them again, he had faded enough to where he probably couldn't beat the man.

Prime for Prime, Lewis is the easy choice to win. But it wasn't prime for prime, and 37 year old Lewis loses 6 or 7 times out of ten to that Vitali. He was wise enough to know this. But this is boxing, and the great champ pulled out an unlikely win and rode into the sunset. I think he made the right call.

 

The chance Vitali gets cut twice in a row is very slim - there is no other way Lewis can possibly beat Vitali.

Vit KO 10, the same outcome as it would have happened in the first fight.

 

I'd like those saying he was in shape to explain how?
He was 256, around 11-20lbs over his better days. Hadn't fought in a year, was 37.

I remind you the worst Lewis ever looked was 253 v Rahman.

Explain.

This should be interesting.

 

Lewis would Knock him out in the Rematch no Problem For Lewis The Last Real Heavyweight Champion !!! Put This Klitschko Sisters in The Hall Of Boring Of all Times !!!

 

I wouldn't even focus on Lewis' weight for an explanation. Think about what everybody including Lewis thought about Vitali. They took him very lightly, waaaay too lightly. Like how Vitali had no heart, was untested, was robotic, couldn't take a punch etc. etc.

Lewis was simply very very surprised to see Vitali come at him and trade toe to toe. Lewis was completely shocked that this guy could give him this much trouble.

 

Um, because he trained hard, bro. I was in the camp, its not that hard a concept.

What ended up going wrong, in my non-professional opinion(They had experts for this) is that Lewis was a bit too old to stay sharp without sparring as often, and they didn't have him in the ring much, and Steward simply let him build his muscle rather than keeping him at his best weight. Lewis was heavy, too heavy, but it certainly wasn't fat. Nobody is saying he was at his best weight or physical condition, but the complete Lewis apologists imply that he walked into the ring off of the street and hadn't been in training for awhile. Thats bull****. Lewis trained hard for the Johnson fight, he just didn't train right.

He wasn't at his peak against Vitali, but that is more due to being 37 years old and rusty than being in horrid shape. I've been in the ring with fighters of that calibre. You don't make it 6 rounds with a Klitschko out of shape, not if your Lewis, or Ali, or Tyson, or any great heavyweight.

To sum it up: Lewis wasn't in great shape, clearly having trained wrong, but he wasn't in horrid shape.

 

Right !!!

 

Good post but you can't say Lewis is the "easy choice" to win, prime for prime.

 

It seemed fairly clear that in the last couple of rounds of their first fight the tide was turning and Lewis was starting to take over.

Lewis' form in rematches was incredible and with both of these things in mind I think Lewis would stop Klitschko in the later rounds of a second fight.
