The Lewis Vitali fought though was older and slower and Wvlad would have done better than his bro by boxing more , getting involved less and use his left hand from a distance . Inevitably Lennox would have caught up with him and those shots he began landing on Vitali would have dropped and stopped Wvlad . Igave Vitali 1 more round beofre getting stopped legitimatley by Lewis if it wasnt for the cuts . Id give Wvlad even less considering his stamina and chin problems

Lewis in 5
No way was Vitali wilting in that fight...Lewis would of been the one going down...He didnt have the stamina to continue...Lewis knew he couldnt beat Vitali..Why do you think he refused the rematch and retired


He refused it cause he was gettin too old to be fighting and didnt want to end up damaged goods. Look at it like this: a past-his-prime Lennox Lewis went in there with a prime Vitali Klitschko on a fight he took on 2 weeks notice (he had been supposedly training for kirk johnson and taking it very lightly from the fatty spare tire he carried into the ring). What fight were you watching? Yeah VK gave him some trouble for four or five rounds but if anyone was gettin KOed it was Vitali. At the end of the round right before it was stopped Lewis was landing punches almost at will. The uppercut he hit Klitschko with that round was ridiculous...I thought his head was gonna come right off! I give VK props for having a good chin but there aint no way he was takin more of that shit especially since he couldnt see cuz his face was gettin turned into hamburger. That shot would not have just KOed Wladimir, it probably would have ended his career and maybe his life. Lennox Lewis would have mangled both of them in his prime and did a pretty fair job of mangling VK's face when he had the chance. I really wanted to see him fight VK again too, but he DID stop him and if Lewis felt he had nothing more to prove then he had nothing more to prove. He knew he couldnt beat Vitali? Dude, he DID beat him! He made his face look like Arnold's in T2!

Completely agree.

Vitali couldn't beat an out of shape, overweight(highest in his career), 38 years old Lennox Lewis who already had one foot in retirement.

If Vitali couldn't beat that version of Lennox it's a certainty that he wouldn't beat anyother version of Lennox.
