    That´s bull****, Vitaly was even more tired than Lewis. He won the first 3 rounds, but after that it was almost all Lewis. The round before the fight was stopped, Lewis were throwing bombs, whereas Vitaly was´nt even punching. He was only grabbing and holding.

    Ssshhhhhh! You'll upset Klitschko fans, and you know what they do when they're angry don't you?
    If not google - Klitschko fans - Lewis - Angry - baseball bat - grannies.

    It was a legit stoppage in the medical sense.

    Was Lewis the right winner? No, it was an even fight with a small advantage to Vitaly. So, if "legit win", means .. was Lewis the right winner? Then no.

    So can we now confirm that Herol Graham beat Julien Jackson?

    Graham was totally outboxing Jackson until it was stopped in a medical sense by one of Jacksons fists - Much the same as Lewis fist Medically stopped Klitschko from continuing

    Teh first rule of boxing is defend yourself at all times. As Lewis himself said after the fight: "look at his face."

    He doesn't need much. The fighters that he has beaten are not great, but theya re good, a couple fo them very good. IF he can add Valuev and Haye, or even if he can't but he can put a couple of young guys on there who might go on to do something, his legacy should be fine.

    But he should forget about Lewis.

    It was not only legit but an absolute necessity.

    I truly think that deep in his heart Vitali was thankful to god about the stoppage. You can clearly see he is at the brink of falling apart at the end of 6th round.

    legit means, medically speaking should the doctor have stopped it.

    ok so briggs shouldnt have beaten lyakhovic then? at the time of the stoppage briggs was losing.

    what about froch vs taylor?

    Maybe the most legit cut stoppage in boxing history, that thing was grotesque.

    No he was not lucky. The Klitschko's have paper skin. Lewis said a number of times that Klitschko cuts very easy. If they would have fought again he would have cut Vitali up again. Lewis was just the better fighter.
     
  14. Vitaly's eyebrow was hanging from his face. As far as cuts stoppages go, it doesn't get much more legit.

    Vitali wouldnt even be capable of fighting after that fight if that fight wasn`t stopped when it was.
