Lennox got scared during and after the fight, Lennox hit Vitali with everything and the guy was still standing right there in front of him at the end of the night.
Ali gave Quarry a rematch because Quarry got cut....Lennox wasn't going to risk it.
I'm giving Lennox his due, he was a great champion, but that night he was getting beat and he knew he'd lose a rematch and that's why he retired.
Wlad could have retired instead of fighting Fury OR AJ he fought both and he was older than Lennox as well.
If that's how you feel then go with that. Everyone wanted a rematch, everyone at HBO wanted a rematch, Vitali wanted the rematch, the fans wanted the rematch, other boxers wanted to see the rematch.
No one is begrudging Lennox Lewis' greatness....but instead of finishing off a rivalry that started with their first fight he retired FACT.
You can stomp your foot all you want, Lennox saw the writing on the wall and he knew to hang up the gloves rather than attempt a rematch.
