    Yes.... 12 years ago!

    When he was a lot younger, fitter and in his prime!

    And Lewis knocked him out!

    Vitali Klitschko only dreams of having those sort of fights!

    Great. Nice to hear.

    And yes I will comment:

    Lewis fought a far superior quality of opposition than Vitali and so is bound to have lost rounds.
    Had Lewis taken on the same opponents as Vitali, chances are, he wouldn't have lost rounds either.

    If you're not trying to prove Vitali is better than Lewis, what is the purpose of that "note"?

    Yeah. Right. Lewis got knocked out by McCall in 2 rounds, McCall lost to Touch of **** DaVarryl Williamson.
    Just another NOTE.
    Thats how it works in your universe, right?

    A 36 year old Ali got beaten on points (a points beating viewed by most as more degrading than an early hail Mary ko) by a 6-0-1 Leon Spinks, Spinks got tanked in round 1 a year later by Coetzee and finished with a career record of 24-17-3.

    I guess this is thrown in Ali fans faces constantly eh? I guess this is a big negative in Ali's career eh?..... Oh wait a ****ing minute, no, it's not!! and neither should it be, Ali's achievements far overshadow his losses.

    So why do people constantly bring up McCall?:think

    I thought Vitali lost about 2 rounds a piece to Sanders, Johnson, Arreola and Lennox another 2-3, didnt Gomez win a round or 2? So if you can add up then no

    I think there's some sort of firewall blocking my words. I said including ATG Lennox Lewis and their fight, Vitali Klitschko probably hasn't lost as many rounds in the past decade in total as Lewis himself in his single fight vs. Vitali. Or to put it for your taste, Lewis lost more rounds to an inferior fighter (Klitschko) than Vitali lost to a superior (Lennox) plus every other fighter he faced in the past decade. Your theory fails as if Lennox fought himself, in 6 rounds he would've lost 3, whereas he lost 4 to Klitschko. :lol:

    When you put it in this perspective, it's hard to criticize Vitali. I personally lower Lewis' overall rankings for his luck win over Vitali and not rematching him.

    since Lewis fought Klitschko, and Klitschko fought Lewis.

    If Lewis fought better opposition than Klitschko has ever fought, that means Lewis' opponent (Klitschko) is better than Klitschko's opponent (Lewis)

    Therefore Klitschko > Lewis.

    I gotta say, I disagree with him.

    What?!

    No its not a firewall. You were just having trouble explaining yourself, just as you've clearly had trouble understanding my last post.

    My theory doesnt even mention Lewis fighting himself, which is frankly a bizarre notion.????
    If he fought the same opponents as Vitali he's not going to fight himself! He'll fight the others! Doh!

    Read it again and get back to me.

    Of Course Vitali has won more rounds - When Lewis fights someone like Briggs he KOs him not allowing him to lose rounds.
    If a prime Lewis was in with ancient Briggs it would not go past 2 rounds

    Yeah, you saw the fight, right? You know that Lennox CLEARLY lost the first two rounds?

    You're hardly expected to take into account their fight together otherwise you get weird negatives like that!

    you know what i meant, stop trying to twist it. I was saying that lewis opponent (klit) was better than every opponent klit has had since that fight and you know this:good
