Look Lewis was 38 but was far from shot also he is like in the top ten greats heavy's on the top half of the list i would say. Why is it a shame to lose by a cut to that man of all people he is a atg and as far as the Brown Bomber goes turning in his grave i just laugh. Bomber during his prime years i remember him not being able to avoid a right hand by a old vet him self only he got a rematch. If he got in the ring with Lewis he would get squashed and i wonder if people would still call him great after. I don't get all hate from you Brock your idol beat bums and shot fighters his whole career and you idolize the man and Rock was great guy on all but lets be real here. Vatli getting knocked out the man has never even seen the canvas in how many fights now and you think he going to get kncoked out i mean come dude.

The real issue in this fight was that they sucked; there was zero in the way of boxing skill. Yeah, I know short notice...That doesn't matter if you know how to fight and are a professional. What does it take to prepare for an opponent? THE FIRST ROUND, for a true pro; these guys were and are glorified amateurs.
To be so tired after a couple rounds, like Lewis? A PRO can get in and do 10 because he is a boxing professional. Vitali was eating those flush uppercuts again and again- a 'pro' would turn his shoulder and quit leaning in- and a few more would have finished him.
The night of the fight, I turned to my friend (he had sparred with Emile Griffith and spent considerable time around Liston) and said "Joe Louis is turning in his grave." It was a shameful night; like Arcel said, get two guys that cannot box and it'll be one hell of a fight.
