Was Lennox Lewis a coward for not rematching Klit?

[El Kabong]

Its a shame that to this day vitalis greatest performance was his loss against lennox..

In a way, i wish vitali was around the mix during prime tyson etc.

Imagine a prime oliver mccall and prime vitali going at it!

I actually think Vitali did better AFTER fighting Lennox, it gave him a boost. it let Vitali know 100% for certain that he was on another level than the rest of the heavyweights. After the fight and the layoff due to surgery Vitali tore through Johnson and Danny Williams and he looked amazing in those fights. I just wish the competition was of a higher caliber...DW had the heart but not enough talent to make it anywhere near close and Kirk Johnson just got pounded out of the sport entirely.



@Master I know you agree with me, but I'm just saying that even an older, slower, less dynamic Lennox Lewis could have beaten Byrd and Ruiz because both of those guys lacked the firepower needed to KO Leennox. Now Rocky vs Liston we're talking a size matchup which is not favorable to Rocky AND a huge power puncher as well. That said, The Rock never seemed unmotivated in the ring.

Rocky would have been old and unmotivated hence the reason why he retired. Both Rocky and Lennox retired at the right time.

Rocky retired because of his back injury.



Chris....that's ridiculous, he was LAZY vs Bruno, Briggs, and Rahman and he lost vs Rahman because of it but he wasn't lazy or in/under prepared for Vitali he was just old.

I agree he was old also, which is the #1 reason there was no rematch
