since "former WBO champion" isn't green then maybe also "current undisputed/lineal" champion isn't also way past his prime?
If that was correct then he wouldnt be standing in these video clips, time for some education! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=cuOzydfpv28
Its impossible to know what vitali has. Who has ever hit him other than Lewis and Sanders. Even the big uppercut Lewis landed, it may have ko`d him if it had caught his chin or certainly if it landed on the underneath of the chin. It actually landed on the upperlip which is what ripped them open as it slid ove rthe skin. If it had caught under the chin it would be interesting. It caused vitaliu to hold on for the majority of thtime remaininhg in that rd and by the end he was holding on, staggering and not punching back.
Well only the Rahman one kept him down! If the same ref fromn he mcall fight was reffing larry holmes vs. shavers and snipes then Holmes would have been stoppe dby that ref too, Holmes was actually in worse condition afte rgetting up at the same count of 6!!!!!!!!! Watch them. Marco Antonio Barrerra would also have a bad chin under your logic, he got a 17 second count from being knocke ddown by junior jones before going straight back down and waved off after that bit of help by the ref. Ironically its usually Cortez that give slong counts, Holyfield got 18 seconds against Bowe, only getting to his feet at 9 and a half!!!! and again allowing Holyfield to hold onto Ruiz`s legs and waist after being tagged and down to fiddle his way through.
Vitali's two claims to fame (so far) as a Heavyweight Champion NEVER BEEN BEHIND ON SCORECARDS and NEVER WENT DOWN. Lewis down twice so I give it to Vitali but he might taste canvas in comeback we'll see.
There is no one shot landed on Lewis chin in that video, .... however TUA is da man he handled all Lewis could throw!
Also VITLAY was down in that first round against Sanders as a result of punches, and I still can't understand why the referee didn't rule it a knockdown. He was all over the ****ing place, doing the 'helicopter in trouble' legs like WALDO always does when he gets tagged. That was a legitimate knockdown, which means VITLAY was 10-8 down on the cards after the first round against Sanders, thus debunking the 'never been down and never been behind on the cards' horse**** us rational people have to endure time and time again from the Klit-lovers on here.
and how is that??? has vitlay been hit by...... tyson holyfield golota ruddock morrison mercer tua briggs tucker bruno grant botha or klitschko himself??//
nope lewis' claim to fame was beating the best the division had to offer and beating everyman he ever stepped in the ring with, he is also remembered for handing vitlay his ass
Vitali broke Sanders nose had him rushed to the hospital after the fight to drain blood from inside his ear total **** beat out of him, ruined him. You are in denial of facts Vitali was never down in that fight or his entire career these are just facts. He still may taste canvas during his comeback but so far he hasn't. You'd be hard pressed to convince ESPN or any other proffesional sports coverage otherwise.
punches that could have knocked anyone out, and have you forgotten lewis came back to brutally **** both men?? oh shoot i just remembered isn't that rahman??? the guy vitlay retired to get away from?
but instead he decided to run from him. oh btw the emoticons aren't helping you hide your insecurities, i can see right through it.:hi:
