Possibly so. I wont fight you on that any further, suffice to say this is how I see it..
A PRE-PRIME Vitali, lost (under unusual circumstances) to a NEAR-PRIME Lennox!
The very best Lennox was only a year and a half prior, vs Rahman II imo.
Vitali continued to get better and better for many years after.
Basically I see Vitali lost to one of the HEAVIEST and THE MOST EXPERIENCED version of Lewis there ever was!
In fact I think there is good chances that if a lighter and more athletic version of Lewis was in that fight, he would have been stopped in 2 rounds by Vitali.
I don't really know who was the better boxer because there are no landslide stats here for me to pull out my ass, but I suspect Vits was overall maybe just a bit better.
Just my opinion and I note, entirely subjective this time round.
"Enough with the games mate! Your messing with the Grand Master!"
Lennox Lewis
