    Fighting a prime Lewis and having a reasonable case at drawing or even winning isn't better than fairly losing on cuts against the oldest, heaviest Lewis who ever set foot in a prize fight?

    Okay, LOL

    The more displined and wiser Lewis of the Tua fight would have shut out Mercer.

    -Lewis fought a stupid fight against Mercer and it almost cost him. Despite having Steward, he was still developing from a slugger to a boxer.

    -Lewis fought brilliantly against Vitali, knowing he had to pressure him early and take advantage of his inexperience at infighting.

    I'd rather go the distance and arguably win then be winning on the cards but LEGITIMATELY losing.

    On another note, would people rather be winning a fight 4 rounds to 2 but get stopped, or losing a fight 3-1 but scoring a stoppage?

    Vitali damn near lost his eye. Mercer didn't.

    We're comparing Vitali and Mercer's performances against Lewis.

    What does Wladimir have to do anything about it?
