Ah now your just reaching...

Lewis didnt face the best version of Vitali? Well what version of Lewis did Vitali face? Weak argument. Plus he gave up against Byrd.

It is well known Mike wasnt training properly for the Douglas fit, getting beaten up in sparring (that had never happened before). He still managed to drop Douglas hard late in the fight. If Mike had still cared about the sport rather than the paydays then he would have gone through Douglas.

Also, Sanders dropped Vitali in the first and had him worried with an Audley look!
