Ironic the talk of being kayoed by bums on here, norton after this fight was kayoed in 1 round by a poor man's klitscho gerry cooney! LOL. Just because holmes went life n death with him that somehow de-means the klitschkos!! Quality poster. Dumbass! The klitschkos style wont allow them to fight such fights, they are safety first fighters who control and dominate there oppnents!
Both Earnie Shavers and Gerry Cooney put norton away in the 1st round - not a shock KO due to complacency like Lewis or wlad suffered, but simply a defeat by a better boxer on the night.
188lb Jose Luis Garcia kayoed Norton, in the 8th round too! Garcia put the heavier Norton on the deck in the 1st round and staggered him in the 5th and 7th rounds. In the 8th, Garcia floored Norton again with 15seconds left. He got up again, and Garcia put him down again just as the bell rang. Norton stumbled to his corner and collapsed. He couldn't even crawl back to his corner.
Prime K2 would make mincemeat of norton. Great fight the the holmes/norton one but to use it to demean K2 is just non-sensical. The T.S is clearly halfwitted.
No matter what anyone says every klit fan ends up in the same place when you mention lennox lewis.
The best, prime klit brother could not dethrone a past it, two loss lennox lewis.
Bring up all the oldies you want and compare how foreman, norton frazier are shorter or have losses, or have bigger feet etc. (all bollocks)
Bottom line is the klits will never have to deal with the type of opposition mentioned at the start of the thread as none of these types of fighters exist today.
The klits RULE this WEAK era and the prime big brother vitali best and greatest fight was his LOSS to weak chin, hugging, canadian/english, fat lennox lewis.
That version of lennox would have beat wlad today and you know its the truth.
Try not to go back to many years to compare fighters to the klit brothers in how well they would do as lennox lewis is all you need to measure their level.
I like the match shown in the video...ask yourself, if Wlad threw 75 punches a round would Ken Norton last 15 rounds with him.
Listen guys the thing that makes great fights aside from the fighters being in shape is the style matchup . The division has no foil for his style or his skill.
The point is Norton wouldn't last that long with Wlad to begin with
Dumbass. Try taking a fighters entire career into context rather than one fight on 11 days notice. Wlad is the best klit only a mong would suggest otherwise nowadays. Vitali is a H2H monster and one of only a few HW's to be a 3x champ. Lewis is no good he was brutally kayoed by mcall! Your logic. LOLNo matter what anyone says every klit fan ends up in the same place when you mention lennox lewis.
The best, prime klit brother could not dethrone a past it, two loss lennox lewis.
It's not m fault u are dumb enough to have fallen for the nostalgic hype that comes with the so-called 'golden era' of heavyweight boxing when the soviet union fighters weren't even allowed to fight for world titles. Get used to them because they are the first of man! GET USED TO THEM!
Which is just as well because i.e Joe Frazier would be jabbed to death and finished within 7 rounds easily by either klitschko in there pomp and u would be on here calling Joe an overrated can!none of these types of fighters exist today.
Roughy translated: 'I am actually quite dumb'. Vitali i think u will find was winning that fight on points and outlanded lewis in nearly single round. The cut stoppage on 11 days notice wasn't a convincing win. The much anticipated rematch happened when exactly? You're a typical biased jobsworth who overrates their own fighters and gets jealous when other countries dominate boxing hahaa. The only two that could hold up today would probabley be lewis and holyfield and even then it's far from certain as to who would reign supreme if they were all 100%.The klits RULE this WEAK era and the prime big brother vitali best and greatest fight was his LOSS to weak chin, hugging, canadian/english, fat lennox lewis.
I doubt it. He couldn't even keep seljko mavrovic off him for 12 rounds. Wach is much more of a threat than CW Mavrovic and he was utterly schooled. Manny himself said 'wlad at this point is as near invincible as they come'....Try harder.That version of lennox would have beat wlad today and you know its the truth.
So we should measure Wlad against a fighter he never fought and Vk against a fighter he fought with 11 days notice and was stopped on cuts whilst ahead on the cards? Quality poster. I assume we should measure Lewis by Mcall and Wlad by Brewster then! LOL. Try measuring your IQ it should be similar to your shoe size.Try not to go back to many years to compare fighters to the klit brothers in how well they would do as lennox lewis is all you need to measure their level.

What drivel,Lennox Lewis would destroy Klit.
Oops silly me...I just dropped my IBF belt! Careless.
I think the T.S is confusing exciting fights with ability! Smokin Bert cooper was in numerous fights like the one in the OP. What does that prove? LOL.
Gatti/Ward anyone! Ward was B level at best.
If u want exciting HW fights then go watch:
-Brewster v Liakovich\Krasniqi
-VK v Sanders\Lewis
-Golota v Sanders/Bowe
-Maskaev v Rahman 1 & 2
-Byrd v Golota/Mcline
-Tua v Ibeaubuchi
Etc Because all of those are just as watchable as Norton v Holmes. K2 do not allow there opponents to do what norton did to holmes. They are too good.
Ha ha. Great comedy. Mong?..how old are you?
What you never seem to grasp is the fact that in the 3rd round lennox threw a punch so vicious it opened up vitalis face!
Lennox did that!
No clash of heads!
Lennox fist!
This is a fight and no matter how great you think vitali fought (which he did do very well) his face could not stand up to lewis punches!
If the fight would have continued and vitali would have lost an eye would you still find some stupid excuse to justify all of this!
This is a younger, fitter, prime vitali.
And everything he threw could not floor lennox.
Give lennox his due and stop living in a fantasy world where everyone is from ukraine and your the brothers fluffer.
Vitali is a true warrior and we can all clearly see that lennox was his toughest opponent of all time that unfortunately he fell short by suffering his first and possibly last tko loss.
Ps:- Lennox avenged all his losses so i dont know how this is relevant to this fight??! Grow up!
imp....Lennox Lewis isn't walking through that door, neither is Ali or Frazier or Foreman. This heavyweight division right here right now is OWNED by Wladimir Klitschko and it's his until he decides it's time to retire so how about you come on to the 2010's and stop holding on your past glories huh? Wlad is the man right now and he's been the man since Lewis retired and that's a longer reign than Lennox Lewis ever had, longer than Mike Tyson, longer than Evander Holyfield, longer than Ali, longer than Frazier or Foreman, longer than Liston, longer than Johnson, longer than Dempsey, longer than Marciano, longer than Patterson, longer than everyone but Larry Holmes (who will soon be passed) and the GREATEST of all time Joe Louis (who IMO will ALWAYS be the greatest of All-Time).
Recognize greatness, that's all I'm saying.
Give Wlad his due and don't talk about all the other heavyweights, they had their time in the spotlight, now it's Wlad's time. And before you get all bent out of shape, Lennox Lewis was a great champion, nobody is doubting that but he's not fighting anymore so unless he wants to make a comeback it's pointless to bring him up in regards to Wladimir.
Kabong...I completely respect that this era is dominated by Wlad.
I mentioned that on many occasions.
I am just defending lennox lewis as certain people keep bringing up the fact that IF the vitali fight wasnt stopped or IF there was rematch.
(IF my auntie had balls she"ll be my uncle!)
So Wlad is the longest current heavyweight champion in the world..ok..he deserves kudos for that.
But let me ask another question, would you agree that this era is somewhat weaker than perhaps the past eras of previous great fighters?
And if so, (now we all have hindsight) is it fair to jump great fighters from the past and discredit them (holmes, etc) against current ones who have greater physical advantages but have had it alot easier?
I was the fastest runner in my primary school until i went secondary.
The competition changed.
VK outboxed lewis 2/1 on 11 days notice. Fight stopped on cuts. He then lingered on for eight months promising the boxing world a rematch before bowing out when the WBC were about to strip him just like the IBF did when he refused southpaw byrd. LOL. All very questionable.
Now i ask u again should we base a fighter's career on one fight? Your logic dictates that we should measure lewis by mcall! If we are to do things with such questionable elements then we should measure Ali by his lucky escape to Henry Cooper.
Correction VK was not even ranked and was scheduled to fight Cedric Boswell LOL. His Ring IQ increased with age just like lewis' did. Flooring an opponent is irrelevant, outboxing one or kayoing one is more pertinant.This is a younger, fitter, prime vitali.
And everything he threw could not floor lennox.
Vitali Klitschko: "Sanders was the most difficultVitali is a true warrior and we can all clearly see that lennox was his toughest opponent of all time that unfortunately he fell short by suffering his first and possibly last tko loss.
opponent I ever fought"
Wrong again.
The facts are thus: Lewis DID say he'd give Klitschko a rematch, Vitali DID destroy Johnson (the guy Lewis was supposed to face) to 'earn' that rematch, Lewis DID retire after seeing Vitali put Johnson away. Perception and timing is everything, and when you look at the way things played out linearly, it does indeed seem clear that Lewis retired so he wouldn't have to face Vitali. If he was 100% condifent of victory, he could have whipped himself into shape one last time and came in there, put this guy away, made a cool $40M or so, and retired with no questions left unanswered. It is entirely reasonable to believe that Vitali did indeed send Lennox into retirement. It was NOT a decisive victory. It was a win, but not as decisive as some make it out to be.
If lewis did not retire he was about to be stripped of belt #2 because he did not want a fight with a prepared VK. All that is factual. Correct?
I will leave u with the late great emmanuel steward (rip):
“I told Lennox after the fight: I feel like we owe Vitali a rematch. Lennox agreed with me. Even after a year since Lennox left boxing, we talked about that fight. If Vitali and him were able to secure a rematch, it would be very intriguing.”

Shut the fuck up keep repeating that 11 days notice rubbish. Lewis had 11 days notice too.
Vitali had a massive advantage in having everything to gain and nothing to lose, being the challanger and underdog.
Lewis only fought him so he didn't lose shitloads of money on the promotion. Fact.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
