    Vaulev doesn't belong in the conversation because he is not that skilled. Bowe, Lewis, and the K brothers are skilled.

    How many combined fights did the four have? 160+ matches. And how many decisions did they ever lose? Just one, and it was razor thin and controversial. This to me says out boxing a super heavy with skills is very hard....almost impossible unless you are one yourself.

    Anyone can be knocked out, or retire from an injury.

    By calling the Holy-Bowe rematch controversial, you seem to be implying that Bowe was jobbed out of a decision that was rightfully his. IF you think Bowe was robbed, state it outright.

    Anyone can be knocked out, but it is easier to defeat someone who's good when they are out of shape than it is when they are conditioned.

    McCall-Lewis 1, Rahman-Lewis 1; he was outta shape. He didn't lose merely because he got tagged.

    He was in the worst shape of his career in his last fight. Vitali might have been a difficult foe anyways, but it could have been an easier win had Lewis trained.

    Some say he got lucky, I say he made his own luck by throwing the punches that cut Vitali. I am just glad that he got a win over Vitali instead of a loss to his originally scheduled foe, Kirk Johnson.
