Yes but Vitali has always been very consistant with his weight but he was on the heavy side...his heaviest was 250 and he fought Lewis at 248.

The thing is they both trained to fight different people but everyone only remembers Lewis was supposed to fight Kirk Johnson and not that Vitali was going to fight Leo Nolan.....ALSO I think Vitali was Lewis' mandatory so had Lewis beat Johnson he would have had to fight Vitali anyways and I HIGHLY doubt he'd do any better in shape or not.

Vitali has an awkward style and Lewis just couldn't get used to it.

And heavy or not Lewis hit Vitali as hard as he could and POWER is not affected by weight...see Old George Foreman and David Tua!
