Lennox Lewis was preparing to fight Kirk Johnson, Vitali Klitschko was preparing to fight Cedric Boswell...so nobody was at an advantage there.
Lennox Lewis was a great champion and Vitali Klitschko gave him all he could handle....there were no knockdowns, there were no 10-8 rounds, it was a fairly even fight with Vitali up 58-56 on all cards.
Put your fanhood aside and just admit it was a GREAT fight that happened on regular HBO because the planets aligned in just the right manner and the boxing Gods gave us this fight as a gift.....enjoy it, don't dismiss this fight as "Lennox was lazy and fat and unprepared" or only "If Vitali didn't get cut he would have won"....Champions fight and they win no matter where, when, or what the circumstances are.
What you failed to mention was
Lennox was prepared for a warm up match with Kirk Johnson. Kirk pulled out leaving the card in jeopardy. Lennox did, what no other fighter I know has, took on his #1 contender on a few days noticeto save the card
An 80% Lewis beat a 100% Vitali that night. A 100% Lewis would DEMOLISH him lol

Did I fail to mention that? I believe it's in the post you quoted. Kirk got injured and Vitali stepped up.
Well I'm sorry, people must really underrate Cedric Boswell since fighting Lennox Lewis was apparently not a big deal for Vitali but fighting Vitali instead of the 34-1-1 Kirk Johnson was a HUGE deal for Lennox Lewis.
Look at ALL the facts next time
And a true CHAMPION is always 100% fully prepared to fight after training no matter who they throw in there.
Re: Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko
The prime Vitali already fought the 38 year old version of Lennox and lost. So it is Impossible for Vitali to beat a Prime Lennox Lewis. That is commonsense and the right answer
