    That is just how you refer to it. However... you must also consider that Wlad is only 32. Lennox was older than 32 when he became the undisputed Champ. I am not in here comparing Wlad and Lewis... you are. You guys can't seem to talk about Lennox Lewis without talking about Wladimir Klitschko. It's odd.

    I see three votes in favor of Widdows comment. Well, now we know how many accounts he has here at ESB.

    Lewis was v.unfit for the fight,

    In a rematch he wouyld be fully fit and would waste VITALI< guranteed

    LEWIS IS THE MOSTUNDERATED HEAVYWEIGHT EVER,

    In his prime (1999-2000) I cant think of many (if any) heavyweights who would have beaten him ever)

    Is it possible for you to talk about Lewis' resume... without trying to start a flame war?

    It's funny how you guys can't go fact for fact with me. You just try to attack my character... and the Klitschkos. Did I say that Wlad is ranked higher as an ATG than Lewis is right now? I have never said anything of the sort. I don't even rank Wlad as an ATG right now.

    Somehow, I don't think I am the only person who refers to the man who holds all the major titles in a divsion as the "undisputed champion". You don't seem to see the difference, holding a title or two, is all well and good, but that doesn't make you "the champion", it just means you hold a share of that championship.

    And, Wlad always gets mentioned because, he is 'the man' in the HW division right now, so comparing him to Lennox is a very good way to show how good Lennox actually was, how good his achivements actually were. You compare something, with something else, to make a point, in a logical and straight-forward way. There is nothing odd about it.

    There's more bull**** in this paragraph than can be found on a cattle ranch.

    Show me where I "attacked your charecter"? That not true. I just find some of things you say a bit outlandish.

    Exactly the type of responses that I have grown to expect from you.

    Why don't you try and explain how amazing, and terrifying Lennox's six successful title defenses as undisputed Champ were.

    Grant - Having just been exposed by Golota. Also... we all know that he turned out to be awful.

    Botha - Was just knocked out by Tyson

    Tua - Very good win. Although, we all knew that Tua can't solve a jab. Lennox was criticized for this fight just like Wlad was for Ibragimov.

    Then that reign ended when he was knocked out by Rahman... then, he wins his title back...

    Tyson - Was incredibily over the hill.

    Vitali - He was being outboxed, and was hurt badly in this fight. He was losing on all scorecards 4 rounds to 2.... and won because a grazing punch opened up a cut. You can say that "he did what he had to do", or "found a way to win"... whatever. It was a win... but not impressive by any means... other than the fact that Lewis did show heart in this fight.


    Now... that was his entire reign as True Champ... you find that to be extremely impressive? Honestly?

    If Vitali's busted up face that night, was the consequences of good luck, then I'm glad I'm not-so-lucky!

    I find it amusing that Vitali fans always try and discredit that win for Lennox - Lennox "didn't win in the right way". Because beating your opponent to a bloody pulp to win a fight - somehow that isn't deemed "fair" :D
