Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis - Who is best boxer ???
I think is Vitali.
Are you??? :lickish::lickish::lickish:
upppppppppppppppppppp
The best boxer/fighter won the fight.
Vitali did retire Lennox though and he was not keen on the rematch.
Prime Vitali would destroy every heavyweight today.
Prime for prime I pick Lewis.
This was an old Lewis and Vitali with a few weeks notice so both guys at their best would be a real collision of the giants.
Gotta go Lewis prime for prime.
Thanks to those skills he learned up here in Canada.
Prime Vitali would beat up his brother and there is no way little Wlad would take the attack.Quote:

Not durable enough? Just....wow hahahaQuote:

That's his choice but if he had retired right away nobody could question his choice not to rematch, since he stayed looking for fights the choice not to rematch should be questioned.
it was a pity that fight ended on cuts wasnt it
i think lewis would have beaten vitali both at their best
Basing the comment on Lewis being able to punch holes in his face, the shoulder injury, the back injury...etc. at a minimum Vitalis skin doesn't hold up to Lewis' punches for twelve rounds. I'm fairly confident making that prediction based on historical data...Quote:

Definitely. Lewis was soooooo lucky that his fists found Vitalis face so often and opened up all of those holes. If only Lennox hadn't punched him in the face so much, he would've lost. Then to retire like he did after stopping Vitali, definitely suspect. He was lucky to land all of those punches and then he wants to retire after that stoppage win?!?!?!?Quote:

Lewis was only really looking for a rematch against Tyson for the huge money. Vitali did not offer him that. No harm in assessing all his options. Lewis made the right decision and we should all be happy for him.
Lewis stopped him. The end
And I believe he was getting on top anyway regardless
People act as if Lennox luckily bloodied up Vitali's face. It's a methodical part of boxing. No different than working on the body.

Lennox beat Vitali when overweight & undertrained what was the incentive to rematch??
Lennox might have stayed had Wlad shown any interest I fighting but Wlad was nowhere to be found ROFLMAO
Lennox retired at exactly the right time The only man who could have given him any competition, Ike Ibeabuchi was other wise engaged thanks to a lying hooker.
Lennox beat every man he ever faced in the pro ring he has nothing left to prove
WTG Lennox
Lewis. He did beat him after all. I realize that's a bit simple but it did actually happen ???
CJ Rock you need to post more on here. You talk good sense. :)Quote:

It's like saying Vitali would have had him if Lewis wasn't allowed to punch back but in that fight Vitali could not absorb Lewis' punches without suffering fight ending injuries. He couldn't survive and that's the end if it. If he had better skin he wouldn't
get cut and equally if Khan had a better chin he wouldn't keep he getting knocked out & if Lomachenko was 6 stone heavier he'd be a heavyweight etc etc.
If floyd never had defense.
If JC never had fast hands.
There is no lucky punch in boxing.
Boxing is throwing punches you mean to throw..all the time.
Unless your Tyson fury.
