you wanna end your career on a flop? wheres the legacy in that,
RUNNIN?
I don't see why he would possibly think he couldn't beat Vitali?

He had busted his face up so bad in 6 rounds that the fight had to be stopped to save Vitali from permanent damage.

The Lewis Vitali fight was just like Ali against Henry Cooper. Cooper gave Ali fits for a few rounds but his face got cut up and he was stopped. In the rematch exactly the same thing happend again.

Why is it more likely that Vitali would beat Lewis second time around than it is that Lewis would have juts busted his face open even worse than before?
