When your best win is 38 year old Corrie Sanders...

Hes not celebrating a loss, hes just trying to show a bit of bravado after getting stopped. So people still think hes some sort of bad ass, when in fact, he is a quitter when the going gets tough.

LL+VK=TKO6

 

If only the fight carried on, then Vitali would definitely look like Sagat (as long as he shaved his hair off)

 

He's celebrating Lewis' retirement and the beginning of the Klitschko era :rofl :deal

 

-So you've changed your wording form "threat" to "arch-nemesis" now? :rofl Just subbing out "threat" for a more dramatic word change the fact you made a completely errorenous statement.

-Not even sure I would describe Corrie Sanders as Vitali's "arch-nemesis" that would imply some sort of rivalry, I personally don't even feel he was his best win. I would say Joe Walcott was the great Ezzard Charles' "arch-nemesis" as they had a competitve 2-2 4 match series with Joe being 38 in two of the matches so you are wrong again.

-I'm not even arguing about the Klits or even sure what you are talking about here, just pointing out you made a completely incorrect claim.

 

And become South East Asian or something?

Bah, I don't think Vitali was losing an eye on that night. Just hyperbole rubbish. Maricano fought on with worse cuts and his eye did not magically pop out of his head. Vitali's eye wasn't getting any worse after three rounds as he was protecting it and the corner did good work, but the cut itself was very bad, he couldn't see, and a stoppage was inevitable, so to his discredit he had three bonus rounds to make his case and he failed. It was obvious that once it was apparent Vitali was not taking Lewis out anytime soon, and the action lulled they stepped in. They were very generous in the modern era to give Vitali those three rounds, but I've seen fighters continue with just as bad cuts in which the corners did poor work in losing efforts..so go figure.


This man lost almost every round and clearly could not see as the corner failed to stop the bleeding even once, yet the fight was continued. Boxing is never the more consistent sport.

No he didnt, Mongoloid.

 

I have to agree with you. I do think though that Lewis landing in the 5th & 6th was due
to blood in the eye and that although Vitali says he saw every shot coming, I don't believe
so. It was an excellent fight between 2 great fighters who gave there all in that fight and
gave the fans a great fight to watch. Lewis won, Vitali lost. Props to both fighters for that
fight. Everyone should not argue back and forth about this fight like little bitches, but give
both men the respect they deserve for that fight.

I also think Lewis retired because he did not want another fight with Vitali. That should
not be held against Lewis in any way, it is only up to him when to retire. Those saying
Vitali was up on the cards and blah, so ****ing what.....he lost. Coming from a Vitali and
Lewis fan.

Those with the TKO6 **** over and over and over and those responding are disrepecting
both fighters and should all **** off! Give props and respect to BOTH fighters for the fight
they gave us and leave the bull**** alone. The stoppage was correct and anyone in doubt
about that is an ******* that knows nothing about boxing.

Did Lewis get lucky in that fight...mabye...BUT HE GOT THE WIN! Anyways enough ranting
about this fight and the assholes that start threads about it every seconed day. Props &
Respect from me to BOTH LEWIS AND VITALI. EXCELLENT FIGHT. BE GLAD IT HAPPENED!

hey dude, get with it.

I made a post about Corrie here.

I made a post about Lewis retiring instead of facing Vit at 38 on another thread.

At some point I crossed wires between threads, and posted the wrong reply here.

'Arch nemesis' is the word I used earlier on THIS THREAD, so dont pretend I didnt use it earlier. Corrie=the bane of Klitscho because he destroyed him. No other 38 year old in history has been the bane of a HW champion.


Please accept my apologies for the cross-posting. but dont go off on one in the completely wrong direction, that wont help.

You don't even know who you're posting about anymore.

"Only Vitali found an arch nemesis in a 38 year old, before that, a 38 year old was never the arch enemy of a HW champ."

Vitali stopped a 38 year old Sanders to win the vacant WBC and Ring titles. Vitali wasn't the Champion going into the fight and he certainly was not destroyed by him. Hard to be destroyed by the man you beat to a pulp, no? Vitali's best win is a matter of opinion but I don't think many would describe Sanders as his "arch enemy" when they only had one rather one sided match.

And you are also wrong, the 38 year old Joe Walcott could be described as "arch enemy/nemesis" of HW Champion Ezzard Charles as they went 2-2 in a competitive series. Both are generally regarded as top 20 heavyweights.

 

let me correct you its not "won by tko."

its..

TKO6

 

yeah sure there are exceptions to the rule, as I have already used the word 'practically' to describe my claim. You seem to be ignoring the 99% of HW challenges that prove my word right - is trying to defend against a landside majority bothering you? It would bother me.

Hey, do you really feel comfortable comparing your part time golfer Corrie Sanders guy to ATG Ezzard Charles? I wonder how much you believe in your comparison. I would feel highly embarrassed doing so.

That aside, dude, I admittedMY embarrassment earlier when I posted my' Lewis and Vitali' post in this thread accidentally. It is very obvious it was meant for the 'WHY DID LEWIS RETIRE INSTEAD OF REMATCHING VITALI' type thread, isnt it? so please ignore that error, my apologies once again for that, and try to avoid cross referencing that post with this thread, if you can - now you have been made aware of it, there no need to mention Vitali and Lewis again when you are sure that I am referring to Wlad and Corrie.

Ta.

 

-I never made such a comparision I just shot down your claim that "a 38 year old was never the arch enemy of a HW champ" with the example of Charles/Walcott.

-A comparision between Charles/Walcott and Vitali/Sanders cannot be made because Vitali was not a HW Champ when he faced Sanders, and I don't think many would consider Sanders his "arch nemesis" when they only had a single one sided fight.

-There are more examples of course but if you don't believe that is a 100% fact you shouldn't state it as such with strong words like NEVER. Maybe you should just refrain from critical blanket statements until you brush up on the history of the sport more? Or maybe even grasp the facts of recent history as you seem to be under the impression Vitali was a Champion when he faced Sanders which is factually wrong.

 

yeah I said 'practically' in the whole post so you never shot it down. You just underlined what I said.

Yes, thats true. It was an avenging fight of massive personal significance for Vitali because of the family loss. And considering the Wlad loss, I would say Corrie was his arch enemy, because he never overcame him.

Totally good advice. Thats why I said 'practically' earlier on, glad you agree with me.

 

"Only Vitali found an arch nemesis in a 38 year old, before that, a 38 year old was never the arch enemy of a HW champ."

You can't expect people to understand you are talking about Wlad when you insist on calling him Vitali for several posts.

Though I highly doubt you were refering to Wlad, we run into another problem with your increasingly confused logic. Sanders was not 38 when he beat Wlad! atsch
