    Well if you saw all those posts in the legendary TKO6 thread and still don't agree with my version your just a Lewis fan boy and pulling out the exact frame where the thumb lands will not change your opinion so why waste my time

    Yea he thumbed him the thumb caught the eye you cannot catch me out by attempting to nit pick my terminology

    The thumb caught the eye because lummox intentionally thumbed him

    It would take less time than typing all these posts. So that makes literally no sense.

    Loony tunes, you're not even close to making a case. And even if by some miracle you were right, it doesn't change what the ref ruled at the time, nor does it change the outcome of the fight.

    The fight result won't be changed boxing is to corrupt for that

    I'm just making sure the truth is available for those who wish to be educated so that lummox fans like you cannot keep them in the dark

    Lummox Lewis had a hollow career with a very suspect and cowardly ending

    The klitschko's have an era named after them

    I've never heard of the Lennox Lewis era :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    You're a joke.

    This argument has been debated for years, and the funny thing is I can't recall any fight in the history of the sport in which one set of fans can't accept the results of the fight and have to resort to rewriting history to justify god only knows what.

    I've heard the thumb argument, I've heard the doctor was corrupt, I've heard the dreadlocks argument, I've heard them all, and you know what. They're all pathetic in the extreme. Funny thing is I doubt even Vitali believes half of what his own fans are saying.

    Not to your small mind you can't even tell the difference between a legit punch and a thumb

    Whether or not an era is named after either fighter or not, is a red herring. The FACT, is Lewis won that fight and he won it fairly. The only issue I would take with this fight is I think they should have stopped it earlier than they did.

    Legitimate punches look almost absolutely identical to legit punches. Especially with the thumbless glove :lol:

    No what is pathetic is that instead of admitting that lummox won due to dirty tactics his fan girls like you try to lie and alter history to make it appear as if he won due to legitimate boxing techniques

    Your boy cheated just admit it

    I was impressed

    Best bit of boxing I ever saw lummox perform

    Otherwise he was getting knocked out

    I'm just glad vitali leaned back or that thumb would have crushed his eyeball

    Lewis was gassing so bad he was trying to get out of the fight then and there

    The fight with Tucker wasn't actually for the vacant belt.
    Lewis was already champion, the WBC having decided that in the board room.
    Tucker was the mandatory challenger, I believe. And a Don King fighter.

    So, I'm not even sure if Lewis was in any position to fight Bowe at all at this point, if he wanted to remain WBC title holder, being in bed with the King/Sulaiman cartel, and tied to the Tucker fight.

    Of course, one of Rock Newman's offers to Maloney was for Lewis to REFUSE the WBC belt, and take an interim fight on a Bowe defence undercard , then fight Bowe ... and cut Don King out of the equation completely, and keep the credibility of the linear title in tact. An offer that had its merits.
    Of course, Newman might have backtracked on that, who knows ? Maloney didn't give it a chance, and they (Maloney and Lewis) ran into the arms of Don King, who they pretended to despise.

    No they don't thumbs are thrown a certain way or the thumb will break

    Also your spelling is atrocious
