For a twist of a thread, when Lewis and Klitschko fans might agree ( I think Vitali is Lewis greatest win ), let's hear it. Has there been a better heavyweight win in the past 15+ years?
He did a job on his face but was losing and was dead after that 6th round. Klit was tired as **** too.
Nah. Both were still landing. Klit was resting that last round. Lewis went to his stool and basically died.
Yes. We would not see the two best heavyweights in the world fight again, for more than a decade! The only peer is Wlad Fury!
Wlad was 41 and 1.5 years removed from the ring coming off an injury. Joshua beat a past his prime man, who likely beats him is he was say 37. While the fight was a very good one, the win itself wasn't the best since 2003
"losing" 6 rounds into a fight where you've done enough to carve a guy's face up like that doesnt take away from the fact that he beatba prime vitali at the end of his career. It was at best 4-2 vitali and Lewis was getting better by the round
Lewis was dead tired after the 6th round. Vitali would get better as a fighter after this fight. We never saw a re-match, that was Lewis changing his mind, but I do think this was his best win.
