    Actually it was 2003, however, at that time Wlad was in shambles due to being exposed and humiliated by Sanders...

    I LOL@ This **** every time I hear it. Ever wonder WHY Lewis felt the need to call Corrie, a southpaw with hands way faster than his, and encourage him to basically let his hands go against possibly his biggest payday fight up to that point?? :huh:think:think

    Yeah it's because Lennox THE LION Lewis knew what was up and how much of a threat Wladimir was. You really think he wanted to take on Vitali, his mandatory, and if he was LUCKY enough to make it through that... take on Wladimir who hit as hard as he did except with faster hands, better jab, wicked left hook, and a right hand that would make rahmans feel like Chris Byrd?? Nah. Lewis wasn't EVER going to walk through Wladimir. We aren't talking about Andrew Golota here. Lennox 'Lets Just Retire' Lewis would have ate harder, faster shots than he ever did.

    I would have LOVED to see the 2003 version of Lewis come at Wladimir like he did Vitali. You think Vitali cracked him good with right hands... Lol :D Yeah eat that for lunch Lennox

    50-50 fight. Wlad's superior athleticism and Lewis's greater versatility cancel each other out.

    I was literally about to say the same thing. The fact that Lewis was still ceding rounds to Vitali despite his deplorable physical condition shows to me that Vits is the better fighter, regardless of how unlucky he might of been in that fight.

    so it was round 2, even earlier than I said. vits defence was even more porous than I said.

    kliturd makes my argument stronger for me. self destructs again.

    Four rounds with a badly cut eye and a porous defense........ and your "British" heavyweight was still dropping most of the rounds.

    Thanks for making my argument even that much more succinct.

    so you admit vits defence was weak. good.


    what part of being tkoed in 6 whilst prime, against worst ever opponent is making your argument more succinct?

    explain which part of tko6 does this.

    but no planet kliturd argument please, where meaning of words is reversed and where vitali "actually won" because his name is klitschko

    lewis went into retirement is the actual history, as nearly all cardio sportsmen in that age bracket.

    you are basically trying to argue that its wrong to eat breakfast in the morning and supper in the evening. good luck.
