    Vitali might have the highest KO ratio of all HW champions in history, but he's even more dominant in the round winning section. In fact, in the past decade, he might have lost just 3 rounds in total INCLUDING his on-cuts loss to Lewis in a fight he was ahead by 4 rounds to 2. That means Lennox Lewis lost more rounds in his last fight (which he won) than Vitali in last 10 years. Just a note.

    I'd say he lost 2 of the six rounds against Lewis, maybe one round against Sanders, 1 against Arreola and nothing against Williams, Johnson, Sosnowski or Briggs. But the level of opposition has to be taken into account. I doubt any version of Lennox would lose many rounds to any of Vitali's foes.

    Lewis knocked briggs out in the 5th round in 98. V.klitschko went the distance with the same man 12yrs later. Just another NOTE

    Vitali has been extremely dominant against poor oposition. Not his fault because you can only beat whomever's in front of you but I don't think any of the great Heavyweights, including Lewis, would have dropped too many rounds against the same fighters.

    Vitali is very dominant no doubt, but i think he's a rung or two below Lennox myself.:good

    Lewis last opponent was better than all of klitschkos in the last decade put together though. No disrespect its just the division has been really poor and youd expect klit to walk all over the boxers hes fought

    you basically just said that Klitschko is better than Lewis.

    Why mention Lewis rather than some other fighters?

    Sounds like someone's got sand in their vagina.

    Are you still having trouble coming to terms with Lewis beating Vitali?

    No he didn't.

    It says that Lewis fought (and beat) a better calibre of opposition in Klitschko than Klitschko himself has ever fought.

    If you do wish to make comparisons, Briggs gave Lewis trouble, he gave Vitali absolutely none.

    What a surprising response from a British fan, but FAIL, big Lewis fan here! :lol: Legit victory under the circumstances, but Vitali was still ahead and won the boxing match up the to point he couldn't see anymore. And Lewis still lost more rounds in his last fight than Vitali in the last decade, including that Lewis fight. Care to comment on that?
