Yes. But im sick of this misconception that the heavies at the moment are shittier than Lewis's era. I mean Lewis fought BOTHA, BRIGGS, GRANT, MAVROVIC, JACKSON. Whilst all are good fighters they arent any better than the fighters around today.
No. It made Lewis look bad. He didn't give a rematch, he got a rematch every time Lewis lost. He hid after that fight and retired a few days before he would be stripped of the belt. If that adds to your legacy, then you are ******ed........end of story:deal
FinishedFan2010 need a new brain. Only 100 post with 90 about the Klitchko's...hummm....he must be Klitchko's mom.
indeed didnt wanna completely **** on Vit tho Theres no Manny Pacs, Corrales, Mosleys, In the Heavies to define those guys so until there is there just good I see them as too beatable
Thanks for giving Vitali some credit..a 25 year old Vitali would have given the '96 boxer's fits. He needed to fight in America then.
Indeed,Lennox was better than he was portrayed. I'd put him maybe no.1 all-time..but that also gives Vitali a bump,too.
bowe was a fat slob who ducked both lewis and tyson. natural talent...well golota showed bowes talent was just hype.:yep
That was the last fight Lennox had and it was againsed a prime Vitali, I think it adds to his legacy in a big way, as much as defeating every man he ever faced does. He never rematched because he had the sense to hang up his gloves. I felt bad for Vitali (who I was shouting for) because he just wanted to fight. Back then I wanted the fight to go on as much as he did but you have to draw the line once facial injuries get to that stage.
Lennox is a top 10 ATG heavyweight. All these Vitali haters love to bring up that loss but there is no shame in loosing to a top 10. Name me one fighter out there since Lennox's retirement that he wouldnt have KOed?
