Who was better, Lewis or Wlad?

[powerpuncher]

Lennox did not get scared, he damaged Vitali. There was nothing more he could have done.

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.

Lewis legitimately beat Vitali. He was getting older and his passion wasn’t there. Sure, a rematch would have been great, but you can’t fault Lewis for retiring. I highly doubt it was fear. It was just his time and much credit to him for not staying in boxing for too long. He’s one of the few who left at the right time.
