Would Lewis have given Vitali a rematch if he lost the first one?

    Lenox was terrified of Vitaly and decided to call it quits when fight with him became unavoidable.

    True. Vitali knows that and this is why he was so disappointed when the doctor stopped the fight. Vitali would've continued - what then would've happened nobody knows. Fact is Vitali was injured and the doctor (ref) stopped the fight. It is what it is.

    Rahman beat a better version of Lewis then the one Vitali fought.

    Vitali had his chance and came up short. Simple as.

    LL fans are like little kids everything needs to be sad twice: LL called it quits when fight with Vitaly became unavoidable. Try to dismiss this.

    LL should shut up about Klichkos, he looks stupid.

    Lewis's career speaks for itself. I respect a man who knows when the hunger is gone. Had he lost to Vitali it would only reinforce the fact he was past prime and finished as a fighter.

    He would have retired imo.

    Again, Lewis didn't beat him but got lucky. And every one knows it too.

    He looks and sounds bitter, siding with every Ks opponent ever since his last fight.

    Sure buddy, easy one too. How many rounds do you think Vitali lost in his career? Arguably, less then Lennox lost to a B-level Mercer in a single fight.

    & what are his best 3 wins?

    & what does that say about the level of opposition he is not losing rds against?

    & how is what you said in that post "arguing your points especially "more dominant reign" quite effectively"?

    just to remind you of the points i made (that you claimed you could "argue...effectively" but have actually completely ignored):

    Look I am addressing your point that Lewis had more dominant reign.

    One of the metrics I used is the number of rounds lost/won against the opposition. Vitali is ahead by a country mile.

    The level of opposition. This is subjective, you may think 2002 Tyson was better than Peter or Areola, I think otherwise. 1999 Holyfield is better than Byrd, I don't think so either. Not a valid metric.

    Number of titles, unified champ. Either of Ks would be a unified champion if the sibling wasn't there.

    But again, the major metric to judge the dominance is the number of rounds lost/won. This is very simple and objective way to judge the dominance. You can throw in a KO % too if you like.
