Lennox won fair and square of course.. but I also doubt Vitali would have lasted much longer had the fight gone on ;)
How in the hell did he last that long with being blind in one eye. Fact is lewis would have had his ass kicked every round if the cut didn't happen. the only reason lewis got back into the fight even a little bit was because vitali was blind in one eye for at least 3 rounds.

No.. the only FACT is Lewis won the fight. ;)

How ncan you know that? Vitaly was breathing with his mouth open looking a bit worse for the wear himself...Cut or no cut his stamina was shot as Lewis was...Vitaly was breathing hard after round one himself....
You can not assume what he would have done.....Fact is he lost the fight...assume all you want but in the end it is still just that...an assumption

Im not picking you up on it mate i just keep hearing people calling this a great fight, but it was without much skill. And the action itself wasn't consistent, its nowhere near as good as fights like Bert Cooper vs Michael Moorer, Evander Holyfield vs Riddick Bowe 1 etc.

That second round is beautiful. Great fight.
Vitali looks like he's ready to go, but he looked that way for some time.
From the third on up I felt as though he was working much harder than lewis and
lewis was ultimately going to have more energy going late. After the 6th, it looked like
they were even again and I'm willing to gamble that Vitali was hungrier and would have
been willing to dig deeper, but we'll never know.
Great showing by Lewis in retaining his strap, great fight. I miss fights like these.
Serguei Lyakhovich vs Lamon Brewster was just as good as Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko, maybe even better.

Whether someone finds a fight great or not is a personal thing.. you don't need majority recognition ;)

Yea i know like i said i wern't picking him up on it everyone has the own opinions and tastes, but i just think because people haven't seen a great Heavyweight fight in a long time. They look for anything in the Heavyweight division to build there excitement up. And because 95 percent of the Heavyweight fights are boring now, when you actually see one with action in it, its shocking and exciting because you haven't seen action in a Heavyweight fight in along time. Hence why i think the fight gets overrated and people forget about really true great Heavyweight fights, i don't think it compares to Bowe vs Holyfield 1, Norton vs Holmes etc.

No - that's not the reason.. people remember the experience.
You're too young to remember fights like Bowe-Holyfield let alone Norton-Holmes.. you already were informed they were GREAT before you watched them, imagine how GREAT they would have been had you lived at the time to experience them ;)

Ah, how did i forget that >.<
You're so right. That as a great fight.
I think this fight had something that the other fight lacked though.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but there's something about this fight that just makes it feel....Epic
Re: Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko
the best part of the fight was Larry the homoe fighting over the mike with Lennox
tell me that wasn't funny...
TELL ME!!!!! :flame:
Re: Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko
This fight is really on the verge of happening!I've just checked some great odds for the up and coming Prizefighter tournament and while i was looking at the odds i found that the bookmakers have already given odds out for the Lewis vs Klitschko:ofor 2009!
Here are the odds of the fight from CORAL BOOKMAKERS:Klitschko 1/2(win) 20/1(draw) Lewis6/4(win)
Making Lewis the underdog!!
Re: Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko
That was a very dramatic fight. Lewis was huge in Canada, And Klitschko had us on the edge of our seats. At the time I thought it entirely possible that Lewis would knock him out, but who knew for sure. Lewis didn't look to me like he had his A-game, that's for sure.
As for whether or not Lewis was on form, it is interesting to note that at some point after the fight, Klitschko himself said he could tell almost right away that Lewis was out of shape.
And yeah Mick, Merchant was a real chump in the post fight interview, very disrespectful towards Lewis.
