there is a big difference between not being able to move your arm w/o causing permanent damage and a cut

i dont say vitali won, just that he would have, and that he ws willing to lose his sight to beat lennox, and that he would CRUSH him in a rematch
so what if vitali was up on the scorecards at the time of the stoppage? it doesnt mean a thing. bernard hopkins is usually down on the cards going into the second half of the fight. it doesnt mean that the fighter is on the automatic path to defeat. lewis was definately getting stronger as realised he was going to trade with vitali. lewis was behind but catching up on the scorecards....

regardless a fight stopped on cuts is a victory nonetheless and thats the way its pretty much always gone....lewis won fair and square...

i really dont think a focussed lewis would be "crushed" by vitali....thats going a bit far methinks!
