school me on events leading to lewis vs. klitschko

Pretty much every Klit-**** argument has coulda woulda shoulda in there somewhere. You can speculate on all the mythical match-ups you want, but only one brother faced an ATG and his face got messed up, and his record shows Lewis TKO6.

 

im a fan but you just want to be pinned down from behind and

If Lewis had been in shape that night then he would have brutally KO'ed Klitschko.

 

neither klit could beat Lennox.. Never! He was class above and that was shown when he tko´ed Vitali. The man was one of the best hw ever to enter a ring while Klinchkos are good but nothing more..

:yep


I remember them days.

 

Lol, it is funny to see Lewis nuthuggers throwing tantrums when in fact replay shows that the cut was caused by a foul, Vitali was up on the cards and TKO6 record is not worth the paper it is printed on.

 

are you gonna post grainy photos that show lewis rubbing his dreadlocks on vitali's face?


Did we just get into a time machine?

 

No just grainy replay of Lewis cutting Vitali's eye with the thumb -> accidental foul -> scorecards -> TD for Vitali

 

I watched the fight a couple of times, and everytime I saw it as a competitive fight. Would Lewis have KO'd Vitali? Or the other way around? Would it have been a decision? Who knows?

But stating Lewis would've won that fight easy in later rounds, is just as speculative as saying Vitali would've won if he could have continued.

I for one would have loved a rematch, as I suspect a lot of people would have. Lewis decided to retire...that's his right, isn't it? I wouldn't go so far as to say he was running scared from Vitali. I would like to think that both fighters developed a lot of respect for eachother after that fight, and find it a bit sad that most posters in threads like this do the exact opposite.

 

It's because Vitali has no legacy. None.

There is nothing else to talk about other than his quit job vs Byrd or getting caught taking steroids.

 

And Lewis TKO6 :yep

 

:good
