    ok seriously, fcuk Dundee, lets use are brain on this one, Vits eye was horrid, regardless to what Dundee or anyone says the eye looked horrid. I would of stopped the fight. As soon as i saw the cut i thought the fight would be stopped. I am sorry termite, what do you want me to say? To me it looked like Vits came out strong and won the first few rounds against Lewis, Lewis then started to turn it on and catch Vits with HUGE shots that i respected Vits for standing up to. Regardless, in the process of those huge shots Vits face got ripped open and the fight was stopped.

    Termite i am not saying it is impossible Vits would of won a rematch, ANYTHING is possible. All i am saying is that Vits didn't beat Lewis in the 1 fight they did have. He lost on a cut. He lost on a cut after Lewis started teeing off on him the prior 2 rounds.

    So we have a difference of opinion termite? Big freaking deal. This is subjective but i think that Lewis had timed Vits and Vits was in big trouble if the fight wasn't stopped. But i dont claim your a idiot if you think otherwise, who knows exactly what would of happened, maybe Lewis gets tired and Vits makes a comeback, regardless, all of that never took place. The fight was stopped with Vits unable to continue because of a huge cut. Please dont tell me it wasn't a serious cut termite. That was a serious cut, i have been in boxing a long time, that is the type of cut that gets a fight stopped, if that cut was on Dundee they still would of stopped it. Just because Vits wanted to continue means nothing, good for Vits but that was a serious cut.

    The simpler question is to ask what Dundee's medical qualifications are.

    The modern boxing "fan" doesn't seem to count cut stoppages as being relevant or even part of the equation,even though generally the opponent had to land significant shots onto their guy to cause it.
    They simply ignore it and state "my man was ahead on the cards so he won"
    It really is pathetic and simply immature.

    That's a good post.

    I think at that time Vitali would have won a rematch and Lewis knew it. Despite his bluster about getting better with age, he hadn't gotten better, he'd gotten worse.

    Primes, different story. I'd still back Vitali, but fully understand why many people think Lewis would have won.

    You categorically stated Tyson said "I would never beat the Klitschkos".He never said that or anything like it, as is proved by the interview I posted.
    Not only are you a moron ,you are a liar too.

    Absolute bullsh*t! Lewis was in training to fight 6'2" Kirk Johnson. Vitali was in training to fight on the undercard and in fact started training before Lewis. More lies from the ret*rd.

    "6) Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

    This content is protected
    Vitali Klitschko received a lot of criticism when he retired in his corner against Chris Byrd. At the time, he was one of the top stars of the division and had 27 wins all by knockout.
    His reputation was severely tarnished because he suffered a serious shoulder injury (later found out to be a torn rotator cuff) and found it too painful to continue, even though he was comfortably winning the fight.
    Vitali was aiming for redemption in his next fight against the great Lennox Lewis, who was far from his prime.
    Coming in as a 4-to-1 underdog, Vitali would go to war with Lewis from the get go. Both fighters landed hard flush shots but it was Lewis who would do the most damage by opening a deep cut to Vitali’s left eye.
    Lewis continued to target the badly cut eye and by the end of round 6, Vitali’s eye was a complete mess.
    Despite Vitali’s pleas to continue, the doctor stopped the fight because if struck again, his eye could be permanently damaged. Although Vitali lost the fight via TKO, he won the event and also regained his reputation."

    Two cuts, one above, one below.

    That is not what you initially said, liar. But I don't want to give you any more attention. God knows, this is the only place where you get any.

    I stated the same thing earlier.

    Vitalis resume is AWFUL, so lets make it look better by pretending everybody ducked him.

    Why would anyone duck a guy fighting out of Germany, in relative mediocrity, whose beaten nobody of note?

    Its like claiming Hopkins, Toney and Roy Jones ducked Sven Ottke.

    Prior to the Lewis fight,ask anybody who Vitali Klitscko was and nobody would have a clue.

    The Lewis fight is what put Vitali on the map. You cant duck someone you didnt even know exists.

    It's really quite simple. People can either take the opinions based on qualifications, and years of medical experience of this man.

    Interviewed about the fight by HBO, doctor Paul Wallace explained his decision:
    "When he raised his head up, his upper eyelid covered his field of vision. At that point I had no other option but to stop the fight. If he had to move his head to see me, there was no way he could defend himself against a punch.

    Or they can read the worthless opinions of imbecilic Klitturds.

    Anybody who contends that stoppage simply lacks basic intelligence.

    Vitali Klitscko being ahead on the cards is so blown out of proportion. He was winning 4 rounds to 2 in the early half of the fight with Lewis winning the last 2 rounds leading into the stoppage. It wasn't like Chavez vs Taylor where Meldrick had more or less dominated the match for 12 rounds only to have the contest waved off with two seconds remaining on the clock. And while there was a rematch we didn't see it for almost FIVE years...
