Could you explain how he nearly had Lewis if it weren't for the cut? only half the fight had past so there was a long way to go and Lewis had clearly won the last 2 rounds and had Vitali on quere street... and that was the worst version of Lewis i have ever seen and that is including the unfit one that turned up to fight Rahman!
I agree with you completely. you know well about essence in estimation of Vitali. Mike Tyson sufferd very weak Mitch Green in his prime time. tyson got many shots, that was tough fight and finally went decision. he always sufferd from taller guy and those clinch. Riddick Bowe nearly lost 2nd rated boxer Tony Tubbs. and he couldn't take dominance very weak Golota like other top heavyweights could do. Evander Holyfield always sufferd and had tough rounds, lost some rounds, took heavy damage when he fought contenders thorough his career whether win or lose. Lennox Lewis sufferd from Ray Mercer and just 97kg Croatian Mavrovic(this guy was strong enough though). and additionaly he lost McCall and Rahman perfectly. those Modern top Heavyweights showed their limit, weakness, vulnerability thorough their career dispite weak opponents whom vitali would terminate easyly without any point loss. comparing vitali, I have never seen the round in which vitali lost essentially. he always took entire round of his fight. even 1st round of against corrie sanders, that shot just likes "touching", doesn't matter. vitali started smashing sanders like dealing with teenager trainee from next round. Byrd, Donald, Peter, Gomez, everyone same...nobody can not take dominance against vitali as I know. vitali is invincible obviously like prime RJJ. Even lennox Lewis, he got nearly knocked out for first round immediately. lewis hugged vitali like gay, fortunately succeeded in cutting vitali's eye thenafter lewis rolled back. lewis has no chance unless breaking vitali's eye somehow.
That's the cold, hard facts right there. Apparently VITLAY got some kind of moral victory when Lewis retired though. I'm still trying to work that one out personally but it seems to work for the Klit-ites.
Do you think Hasim Rahman got some kind of "moral victory" when Brittley retired. Or did he just look at what happened when he faced an undertrained Lewis? You know, WINNING THE FIGHT, unlike some other people who faced an undertrained Lewis. "Bu, bu, bu, but Vitali won the event". :good
I can only go by what I've been taught by those kind Klit-ites, and apparently Rahman would have lost against VITLAY anyway, he was lucky VITLAY retired as Rahman was just a bum. Lewis on the other hand is a cowardly soul who retired rather than face the brutal beating he was in for at the hands of VITLAY. Unless he did the dishonourable thing and decided to fight on and turn up in shape this time, of course. It was also a ****s trick that Lewis employed in their fight....imagine having the temerity to punch someone in the face and physically damage them enough to stop them....how low can you get?
There is no such thing as a moral victory, this is especially true in sport. I hear it all the time. In rugby, if a team scores more tries than the other and still loses, a commentator once said it was a moral victory? The fact that the team was constantly cheating to stop the other team scoring tries is irrelevant, no? Do West Brom have a moral victory because they play better football than Stoke, who finished 8 places higher?
Man, what is it about the Klitschko's that turns any "debate" surrounding them into a really nasty *****-fest? I'm happy with my take on the Klitschko's specifically because the dudes that hate him tell me I am wrong and the Klit-lickers act like I am hard on him. ESB, helping to keep those of us with a smidgen of objectivity right on the money.
atsch:rofl Have you ever watched Wladimirs fights? Or how Vitali was nearly knocked out in a first round but hugged Sanders like gay. I also remember Vitali holding against Lewis after he got hit with that monster uppercut. :think Well he could also break Vitalis shoulder.
I love the 'breaking vitali's eye somehow' bit. Like it was a magic, or an Act of God, or ball lightning or something. Nothing to do with those gloved things on the end of his arms.
