    You obviously aren't very familiar with the business of boxing. Firstly, Lewis lost twice you make it sound like he had dozen's of losses under his belt.

    Secondly every heavyweight in history has been past prime at age 40. Vitali himself is no where near the fighter he was when he fought Lewis. hell I can practically go take a **** while he's starting to throw a punch and be back in time to see it land.

    And thirdly, and this is the most important, when champions fight, they have rematch clauses in their contracts. It's standard procedure. Lewis was a beltholder on both is losses which is why he got rematches. Vitali wasn't.

    Btw, care to give me a list of those great heavyweights in their 40's. This is laughably pathetic. And if I recall Lewis was over 250lb in one other fight, and that was the first Rahman fight. The Ruddock fight which you're obviously too lasy to watch was a prime Lewis who weight around 230lb.

    Well Lewis was not 40 and I am not saying boxers are prime at 40 but people just keep getting heavier untill about 40.

    Lewis was 253 pounds in the rematch with Mccall I believe.

    I have watched the Ruddock fight and I think he was pre prime in that fight.
