T.K.O. in 6

Why are people still blind about this fight ? watch the last round again Vitali was DONE lewis beat him up last minute of that round vitali was ready to go round 7

 

Joe Frazier was also ready to fight Ali in the 15th round of his 3rd fight with Ali. That doesn't change the stoppage.

The fight doctor saved Vitali's career and health.

 

Lewis promises rematch, then runs off into retirement. He wanted no part of a fully prepared Vitali. Vitali chased Lennox into retirement on only 2 weeks notice :deal

 

ROFL

UNDERTRAINED, UNDERMOTIVATED, FAT, 37 year old TKO6 VITALI. :hi:

 

OK here goes............

Lennox Lewis was the best HW champion since Muhammad Ali. Lennox idol & mine too
Lennox was barely 80 % ready he was set for a warm up against a disheartened Kirk Johnson The Ruiz DQ debacle ruined Kirk Vitali was 100% ready.
Lennox made a slow start but was coming on. Someone said Vitali "walked through " Lennox uppercut ROFL Vitali didn't know if he was in Vegas or Vladivostok when that landed LOL Vit hung on like a limpet
Please do not mention Wlad LOL He could & should have challenged Lennox
right then. Instead he went into hiding wanted no part of Lennox
Lennox retired at EXACTLY the right time. There was no one out there to beat
He beat every man he ever faced in the pro ring Arise Sir Lennox !!!!

 

Vitali was protesting the stoppage, while Lennox was looking relieved that the doctor gave him an escape route.

 

This argument has been going on ever since I first visited ESB and long before that I'm sure. All I can say is it didn't hurt his legacy, probably improved it and it's still funny watching people rage when TKO 6 come up.

Also... can we have a new heavyweight title fight to talk about please? Seems like it was the last great one.

 

Well...yeah. He lost the biggest fight of his career.

Vitali is a minor great along the Ken Norton, Floyd Patterson lines. Had he beaten Lewis he would have been with his brother in the top 10, or at least 15.

 

In order words Lewis lost and Vitali won. Right?:nut

 

What escape route?

The doctor saved his career and his face. atsch

Had Paul Wallace not stopped that fight, Vitali's face would still be mush today.

Mayor of Kiev? No chance

Fight KirK Johnson afterwards? No chance

Being recognized by anyone besides his brother/mother? No chance!!!

His life/his career/his face were all saved by Mr.Paul Wallace. He should be taking Paul Wallace out to dinner on Thanksgiving!

 

Yes TD6 greatly undermines Lewis' career!

 

LEWIS TKO6 VITALI.

DEAL WITH IT. :deal
