    True story, Ali knew Lewis was the one to continue the legacy, a legacy which has sadly stalled during this poor era of heavyweight boxing

    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 almost got KO'd, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outslugged, outworked, outmuscled, 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.

    Official Scorecards:

    Pat Russell: Vitali 58-56
    James Jen-Kin: Vitali 58-56
    Tom Kaczmarek: Vitali 58-56

    Other Scorecards:

    HBO: Vitali 58-56

    Sky Sports: Vitali 58-56

    Lennox's mom: Vitali 58-56


    Vitali wasn't even in his prime yet.

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

    Vitali is 41 and is still dominating.

    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 was badly hurt several times, almost KO'd, outworked, outslugged, outmuscled, outboxed, outlanded 156-102, dominated and retired by Vitali.

    Vitali and Wlad have both easily surpassed Lewis.

    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.

    Ali has said a lot of things. His real heir was Larry Holmes anyways.

    Lewis took Vitali's face, his soul, and his legacy. Three whippings for the price of one.

    Vitali beat Lewis into retirement. This is a fact that cannot be disputed.

    Vitali took Lewis' best shot to the jaw and didn't even wobble, in fact he smiled at lewis and laughed.

    Your post starts on a lie, and that wasn't Vitali smiling, it was one of the many vagina-sized cuts on his face

    No matter what boxing forum i go on, there is always one Klitch fan who comments everytime Lennox is mentioned, churning out the same facts. The only fact that matters in that fight is that Lennox caused a horrible cut on Klitch's face and the referee deemed it necessary to stop the fight.

    The cut to the face was caused by the crease on lennox's boxing glove. Nasty dirty tactic. He knew he was going to get stopped to he resorted to fighting dirty.

    Let's not forget LL was one of the most dirty HW's of all time, the king of holding and hitting.

    You Klit-tards need to make up your minds. First it was the dreadlocks, then it was the thumb, now it's the stitching :dead

    As for dirty, Quitali was caught taking steroids and Wlad holds, hits and leans like his life (and chin) depends on it.
