Lennox and Vitali are the two greatest strongest most formidable HWT champs of all time. Wladimir is right there with them too. These three towers have surpassed and exceded Ali, Holmes, Tyson, Marciano, Louis, Johnson. We have a new level of HWT excellence, so strong and might, they make the modern competition like Johnson, Gomez, Rahman and Thompson and Arreola look like bums.
No disrespect mate, but I must disagree. There is nothing to suggest that a next round ko by Vitali was certain. In fact imo (And it is only that of course) Lennox finished the 6th on top. I agree that not as much is made about the injuries Lennox suffered, but that is because most of the focus is on the horrific injuries Klitschko suffered, which caused the fight to be rightly stopped. Had that fight been allowed to continue Vitali's injuries, which required in excess of 100 stitches, would have only got worse and probably a lot worse. Vitali fought great that night, he really did, but he lost. None of the injuries suffered by Vitali were caused by an illegal blow or head-butt/clash of heads, they were caused by Lewis's fists, so Lennox did deserve the victory.
Why when Lennox Got Battered around the Ring for 5 rounds against Bruno Decided he would land a left hook stun him and then Finish him Didnt every body cry then? Lennox did nothing in the fight with Bruno but landed a good sequence and finish him. Thats the risk you take with a puncher, there always in the Fight and the Heavy Weight division is known for 1 big punch to Turn the Fight around.
