We all have our views but i feel dissapointed that a decent poster such as yourself is coming out with the same tripe the lowly Klitschko nuthuggers come out with in the general. For the most part BD you make good points in your posts but these statements are poor. Both men took the fight on short notice which you should know and looks like you're choosing to ignore for the sake of making a void point. Lewis gave Vitali he's shot 6 months early so the card in LA didn't fall through. Good on him. If it benefited anyone more it was Vitali. Vitali harboured hopes of fighting the no1 Lewis from 99-00 and had obviously done his homework on the champion, what top contender worth his salt wouldn't. All Lewis seemed to know (or want to know) about Vitali is that he quit against Byrd. That right there tells you who had the advantages going in on 1-2 weeks notice, that's before you bring age and inactivity into it. You say Lewis was far from shot? I can only assume you didn't watch Lewis much throughout his career. Headbutts and dreadlocks??? Yep those dreads were Lewis' third weapon! :-((
is there something in that post about a cornrow opening Vitali's cut there? hmm Laughing Bruno's not here yet.
Lennox cutting Vitali with his dreadlocks is by far the most patethic excuse in boxing ever. That and maybe Wlad being poisoned by Don King At Least Haye showed us photos of his toe.
Especially because, it's a well known fact that bald heads butt-cut the best. :yep This content is protected That third fist is symbolic, if ya know what I mean.
:rasta Steroids, its one hell of a drug. Seems Holy injected it into his head as well (and his moustache) :rasta
I love how his tash makes him a black mario PS: Bradley's bald head is closing in on holyfield's thick and fast
Wlad has the technique and I was impressed in his first win over Peter. Vitali has heart, an awkard style, and a granite chin but other than Sanders Im not impressed with Vitalis resume. I mean take Tyson and Lewis You can overrate or underrate their resumes, but they both fought monster fighters. But then again their were more monster type of fighters back then. Anyway Lewis was in a war and did turn the tides in the Klitschko Fight. The way Lewis timed the shot that cut Vitali was masterful. Any doctor in his or her right mind would ve stopped the fight. Lennox had secured a legacy. In my opinion POST TYSON Lewis is the GREATEST HEAVYWEIGHT of His era. I dont think a win in a rematch would do much for his legacy
Can someone recommend some more great HW fights? (post vitali/lennox) the Liakhovic vs Brewster was pretty entertaining. :good
Not as great as the epic Liakhovich-Brewster war, but still entertaining... Brewster-Etienne Helenius-Liakhovich Helenius-Brewster Helenius-Peter Chisora-Helenius Fury-Chisora Vitali-Chisora Fury-Firtha Fury-Pajkic Povetkin-Chambers Huck-Povetkin Toney-Rahman I/II Toney-Peter I/II
