I think its looked like the tide chanced. Lewis was landing big and Vitali was holding on for dear life. I think Lewis would have put him away in the next few rounds.

 

Exactly. People want to rewrite history to save face (no pun intended) about their hero.

 

Vit was about to get ktfo, and anyone who saw the fight and isn't a complete **** knows it. He gave a great effort but it wasn't gonna be enough. Not to mention that was an old, out of shape Lennox against a fresh young Vitali and he was still getting the better of him.

 

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

THE FACTS

Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round and was out on his feet, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt out on his feet several times in the fight and was getting outslugged, outworked, outmuscled, outclassed, outlanded and outboxed by Vitali.

punches landed

Vitali 156

Lewis 102


Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a *****. The whole crowd cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The gutless coward Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his ***** ass into retirement.

George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.

Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

 

Vitali got robbed. The corrupt doctor and ref were on Lennox's payroll.

It should've been a TD win for Vitali.

Vitali wasn't even in his prime yet.

Lewis was 37 when he got his ass whooped by Vitali.

Vitali is 40 and is still dominant HW champ.

Lewis was coming off the win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

Lewis will be remembered as a gutless coward who got his ass whooped by Vitali, blatantly ducked a rematch and retired with his tail between his legs.

WTF are u talking about fool Lennox was just about to knock him the **** out, unfortunately Vitali quit and LL was sadly denied another addition to his highlight reel

 

Vitali dont have real KO power anyway

 

This is a fair summation.:good

 

Who knows? It was a very competitive fight and Klitschko looked incredible early on. It looked to me like Lewis was coming on when he stopped Klitschko. Too bad there wasn't a rematch to answer the question for good.

No, he retired from boxing a few years ago. He's a colour commentator now.

 

Lmao at this butthurt rubbish! Can you supply any proof the doctor and ref were corrupt? No, you can't. Can you deny Vitaly was at his physical peak, the top rated contender, and that he himself had said he had been training for a Lewis fight for a year? No, you can't. Get over it, your guy lost.
