I don't know....Lennox always seemed to be troubled by fighters with good jabs and Vitali has got a good one AND he hooks off of it. I will say, I think either way the rematch would have been more of a chess match than the first fight which may have played more into Lennox's favor IMO.
God it was a great fight though....I think it was the most exciting fight Lennox was in. It was certainly his most even matchup since fighting Holyfield.
Re: If the doc hadn't stopped Klitschko Vs Lewis - who would've won?
Sorry klitscho fans, your man is a great fighter but not on lenox' level im afraid.
Vitali was completely rocked and had to clinch to lewis for about 30 whoel seconds after that huge uppercut landed on his chin.
All respect to vitali for how he took and it still stood but he must have been fukd by it completely, he was totally gone for the rest of the round.
Having said that, this was by far a prime lewis, he was overweight and getting on in age as well so his stamina may not have held up.
My opinion:
'If vitali didnt get cut' (such a stupid thing to say anyway because it was a legitmate cut from one of lenox' punches that caused it, then lenox would have won by ko.
I believe the ko was coming in the next round, i think lenox wouldve gone all out and continued landing more of the thumping haymakers onto vitalis chin. I think he wouldve rocked vitali and then would have come in with a classic 3-4 punch lenox combo to take him down.
Vitali = great boxer, but sorry vitali fans, he aint a lenox lewis!
Btw, i know people are all doing the 'what ifs'...so heres another 'what if'?
What if vitali had fought a PRIME LENOX LEWIS?
I'll answer that...forget cuts, lenox wouldve bashed the sh1t out of him.
I think it shows just how class lenox was, he bashed vitali in the 6th round to the point where the guy was clinching constantly, he was rocked, if this had been prime lenox lewis we wouldve seen the 6th round beating he gave vitali in the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th rounds, no chance vitali would win.
History showed that a past his best, out of shape lenox lewis beat a prime vitali klitscho, albeit via a tko from a horrendous cut (caused by the punch, nothing 'accidental') = a legitimate win. Shame it was ended by a cut but there was no chance klitscho couldve continued as it wouldve opened up even worse after a few more shots.
Had history placed a prime lenox infront of klitscho, theres no contest at all, klitscho on the floor by round 8!
Re: If the doc hadn't stopped Klitschko Vs Lewis - who would've won?
Lennox wins
nothing in vitali's past to show he had the metal to last another 6 rds, didnt he QUIT in one fight????????? i think hew did:)
Quitter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: If the doc hadn't stopped Klitschko Vs Lewis - who would've won?
Fuck off, he stopped in ONE fight because he suffered an injury that made it difficult for him to punch. Vitali didn't give up vs Lennox
Re: If the doc hadn't stopped Klitschko Vs Lewis - who would've won?
calm down sinbad, he was well ahead on points wasnt he & quit late on! i remember danny williams pulling his shoulder out & still knocking sumone out with his other hand with a few uppercuts, so vitali QUIT!!!!!!!!!
once a quitter................................
