I think its unfair to count out a much better, fitter version of lewis in a rematch to a version of vitali that would have fought exactly the same AND his greatest ever fight was against lewis.
I can clearly see that vitali was giving lewis some serious trouble and he was looking gassed but how many times in this great divison have you seen one shot change everything!
Lewis has never lost a decision and has never been beaten so badly the fight had to be stopped.
A heavyweight punch stopped lewis on two occasions in which he came back and rectified the situation in the rematch.
Why take a rematch with a guy 8 years younger than you that you already beat?
If vitali won, lewis would have rematched in a heartbeat but lewis done enough to achieve the result he wanted and i believe by the 5th round he probably decided in his mind that this was his last fight anyway with all the punishment they were both taking.
