Was an awesome fight one of the most exciting of the last 15 years at Heavyweight. I wish people could just put all the BS aside and enjoy the fight for what it was. A damn good Prizefight for 6 rounds. Like Merchant said it really was Gatti/Ward at the highest level of the scale.
they both fight weaklings at 38. I mean legit champs making legit defences. That's pretty much every champ in history, find one who does it and when you do, reply.
Let's compare their resumes: Lewis: Golota Holyfield x2 Tyson Tua Bruno Morrison Ruddock Briggs Vitali: Arreola Sanders Peter Adamek Chisora Solis Johnson Charr
It was 1 pic, calm down He has nothing to be bitter about. The man has 100+ million in his bank account, he beat Vitali on his way out, Lennox is a top 5 HW ATG
How could you miss out Vitali in Lennox's resume? atsch Grant? Grant was undefeated and many thought he would give Lennox a lot of trouble. Akiwande was also a great scrap. The dude was a great boxer. It's one of his best wins. Mercer too, a hard scrap. I'm sure it could be argued that it is his best win.
Povetkin and Pulev are far from weaklings. It looks like Wlad will probably fight Stiverne/Wilder, Fury/Chisora, Jennings/Perez, and some others. These guys aren't "weaklings" especially when he will be 39-40 when fighting them. Vitali fought til he was 42 and had more fights than Lennox.
#4 ATG on my list. I still think he's mad though because there is evidence of him saying that he was going to fight "3 or 4 more times" after Tyson. Vitali cost him a LOT of money.
Not at all, he knew he was already slipping when he got to Vitali. Probably would have happened anyways even if it wasn't Vitali Marciano also wanted to fight several more times, but as soon as he got into training, he knew it was over. No motivation, knew he didn't have it anymore These things happen.
I don't think I could bump Marciano from the 3 spot for Byrd and Ruiz. If he had say 4 more title defenses against Byrd, Ruiz and a couple top challengers I would probably move him to 3. I think what Marciano did is extremely difficult and that is why he is so high on my list. Where do you have LL at?
I don't really have a list, but probably top 10. He has a very good resume, he was undisputed, and he cleaned out the division. He didn't get to fight Bowe, though that wasn't his fault. He also didn't fight Ruiz or Byrd, even though I think he would have beaten both of them.
no. Only Lennox is. the bum Klitschko only fought one decent opponent - a 38 year old washed up version of Lennox - and got TKOd that tells you all you need to know about the Ukranian bum
