    What about the fight makes the reason why he retired, clear?

    Why do you think he retired?

    Watch the fight and whether you chose to disclose your true feelings on it on this board or not, at the very least you will know the truth on Lewis' retirement choice in your own mind for yourself.

    Everybody knows he ducked Klitschko. He knew what was coming.

    Why would you assume I haven't watched the fight, when I plainly commented on the performances of both fighters?

    Why can't more boxers be like Lewis and retire at the right time instead of ruining their legacy ? If only Roy Jones Jr had the same sense as Lewis.

    Yeah I'm sure Lewis was really scared after ripping off half of Vitali's face while being in the worst shape of his career.

    What's the official reason Vitali retired instead of rematching Manuel Charr?

    He beat everyone he fought, and avenged his only two losses.
    He already fought (and won) the biggest legacy fight he could possibly fight at the time.
    He was old
    He knew eventually father time was gonna catch him and he wanted to retire still at the top.

    This isn't rocket science, he didn't have anything else to prove.

    How can someone duck a fighter when they have just fought and beat them? Unless you mean Wlad?

    Truth be told.....He wanted to go out on top...He felt Vitali was dangerous...if it wasn't for Vitali's cut, who knows how that fight would end up...Klitschko was ahead 58–56 on the scorecards with two judges giving Lewis only rounds three and six and the other rounds five and six.
    It's simple...all bull**** that Lewis is saying is just fake glory...People have eyes and see the truth.....being so cocky and saying he would eat both Klitschkos for breakfast yet he could not even digest one , so he had to spit him out and run away to his momma, retiring and claming fake glory

    He retired after a request from the owners of BoxingNews24 (aka ESB) who felt this would greatly help forum traffic. Apparently as part of this deal, Lennox gets $1 each time 'TKO6' appears in a thread or a post...

    I wish @IntentionalButt was still a mod , he would
    Have moved this trash thread into the TKO6 thread where it rightfully belongs

    everyone knows TKO6 will always and forever be a fact
