my answer was no. It is a t-shirt for christ sakes. I am beginning to think you can't read or comprehend.
To state the obvious, if only Lewis was just couple of years younger there would've been a huge ongoing rivalry/feud with both Klitschko's. Way bigger than the Lewis-Vitali thing.
Only if you're a thirty year old virginal web geek who frequents comic book conventions looking to add to your collection of Star Wars bubble gum cards or other similar nonsense.
Because Vitali is a badass mother****er that hates losing and enjoys hurting people, and doesnt want anyone or anything interrupting him whilst being a sadist/boxer.
It's funny. Wlad gets criticised for not having the same mean streak as Vitali. Vitali gets criticised for having that mean streak. At the end of the day, Klit haters will always find something to hate, no matter how twisted or contradictory their reasoning.
The fight has just gotten stopped and he was pissed as ****, as he wanted to continue fighting. Why a fighter should be criticized over that I dont know Its his little brother. They are best friends and always attend each others fights. He is protective of his brother. Big ****ing deal. He then got a fight with Sanders and pummeled into South African mush bread for 8 rounds. He also spent every round after the 2nd landing power shots and breaking Gomez down. Vitali likes to hurt people. Zab Judah grabbed Jay Nady by the throat, yet he still has fans. Pushing a ref isnt the worst thing in the world. BHop routinely cusses under his breath at the ref in pretty much every fight in which he gets warned. Again, whats the big ****ing deal? Peter never came over to congratulate him. Peter was crying in his corner. Peter entourage approached Vitali, and Vitali then came over to Peter corner and talked made **** in German no doubt. It was also Peter who talked **** before the fight, while Vitali never really said anything other than he was in for loss and a beating. Vitali has the kind of mean streak that I like to see in fighters. Before the fight, they really dont say much other than looking focused and having the "let my fists do the talking". After the fight, they tear into you and remind you you were beaten like a ******* red headed step child. Nothing wrong with that.
It has nothing to do with class... it just happens, that Vitali is a BADASS and he doesn't take **** from nobody... including Corrie Sanders, who he knocked out, and Sam Peter and his gay ass manager who said they will finish vitali and knock him out...
Vitali is the best heavyweight in the world by far. Vitali hurt Lewis and would have knocked him out in the very next round if Lewis' friends had not stopped the fight on a cut. Lewis was losing on points when the fight was stopped and completely out of gas. Lewis retired because of that fight. Lewis had a broken nose and was staggered more than once in that fight. Vitali stuck his chin out and Lewis could not hurt him at all, yet Lewis was staggered. Look at Lewis when he flopped down on his stool!
FAIL. He didn't say they were vicious or brutal, he said they lacked class. The difference between Vitali and the other guys you mention is that they did what they did BEFORE or DURING the fight, while this guy cries like a spoilt little girl AFTER the fight. Sure, Tyson tried to break Botha's arm, but after viciously KOing him he went to pick him up again. He tried to attack Lewis at the pre-fight conference, but went and congratulated him after the fight.
