Lewis is a British fighter. 10 for effort though Edit: your point about the bathroom before the weigh in is so wrong by them way. I've never lost more than 2 pounds after shitting
Its funny and pathetic at the same time, that britards have to refer to a 19 year old Vitali, 6 years prior to when he would turn a pro boxer to attempt to discredit him. :-(
Vitali last looked close to his prime for the Arreola fight in 2009 at the age of 38. He has appeared in decline for the Kevin Johnson, Sosnowski, and Chisora fights. I think prime Vitali would beat Lewis if he didn't get cut, but the current version of Vitali would clearly lose to prime Lennox.
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 him into retirement. This content is protected 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 wasn't even in his prime yet. Lewis was 37 and he wasn't "shot" when he got his ass whooped by Vitali. 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 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
Lennox "The Cowardly Lion" Lewis retired shortly after watching Vitali destroy Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and then call him out. Lewis is a gutless coward and a fraud. Vitali whooped his ass and retired him. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbr6bXgTm0Q[/ame]
