If he was fortunate enough to cut Vitali again, maybe. Lewis was in his prime, he beat Tyson exactly one year previous and boasted to everyone how he is like fine wine and gets better and better. Fast forward a year and after a humiliating beating which he luckily won on a cut, he suddenly decided he was over the hill, refused a rematch which Vitali richly deserved, then retired like a...I hate to say it about a fighter but he retired like a *****. TKO 6 is a fact, yes, but the paper result doesn't always tell the full story. Boxing history is awash with bad decisions, fights which were dominated by a fighter but then lost on technicalities, etc etc etc. To summarise: TKO 6 is a fact. Lewis getting his ass kicked then retiring like a ***** is also a fact. This is why it's discussed a lot on here, this is a boxing discussion forum, and a very relevant topic as one of the fighters is still active. Everyone accepts the result was TKO 6...all Klit haters now have to do is accept that Lewis was getting outboxed, was almost decked and losing on points, then retired like a *****, then we can all go home.
I'm not a Klit hater, Lewis was losing the fight on the cards, no shame in that, again, he won the fight. Even if Vitali KO'd Lewis in an alternate universe round 7, Lewis would still be revered as the better fighter head to head in their prime. Ok, so he boasted he ages like a fine wine after the Tyson win, bearing in mind he just KO'd his nemesis and was on a high, in boxing, you only get judged on what you physically achieved mate. Lewis TKO6.
"Lewis was in his prime, he beat Tyson exactly one year previous" Lewis was not in his prime at the time of the Vitali fight.
Ok, so, according to the above, Vitali didn't stop Charr in 4 rounds, since the fight was ended by the Doctors at ringside.:-( I've got two pieces of advice for you. 1 - Grow up, 2 - Get over it. Vitali lost and lost legitimately, Lewis caused the cuts to be as bad as they were so he still gets credit for forcing he doctors stop. Bottom line is Vitali lost to Lewis via a justified doctors stop resulting in a TKO after six rounds and no amount of revisionism from his fanboys will change it.
Lewis should have given the rematch and because he didnt theres always room for anyone to say that Lewis got lucky and that Lewis was losing on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage and people are perfectly entitled to do so! End of the day stop bieng a ***** and have the rematch if you think you didnt get lucky!!
I'd rather beat him into a coma with his own keyboard. The entire forum gets dumber and dumber every time he posts the same shite over and over again. The butthurt over Lewis winning that fight and nearly blinding his hero, is just too much for Vladimir23 to bare. I can imagine if he responds to this, he'll just post the same images/gifs again. Really quite sad actually.
I don't see how Klitards can still go on about this, Lennox punched the cut into Vitali's face therefore the result of Lennox's punches caused the fight to be stopped.
******ed thread, if Vitali continued he would have been seriously hurt & probably never would have fought again.
Lewis is dumb as a post and is as exciting as watching grass grow.I very much doubt he ever had a brain to begin with.
