Your thoughts on Lennox Lewis-Vitali Klitschko?

[johnmaff36]

primitive crap.

OK so you don't when heavyweights box and use the sweet science and then you don't like it when they go toe to toe.....you are a boxing fan correct

Klitschko-Lewis was a great fight, it was an even match and both fighters came out of the gates trying to end it as fast as possible...what's not to like about it

Shame about that cut though, and that there was no rematch, but then again we all know why that was

yeah, we do. No need for it. job done.

I know we covered this before but no matter what either fighter was prepared for (Kirk Johnson & Cedric Boswell) it was going to be a rough fight and we should just be happy it happened.

Both fighters ended up winning out in the end Lewis retired with the belt and Vitali won over the crowd that night and has had much success since that fight. Lewis won the fight on stoppage because of cuts while Vitali was WINNING the fight on points so there lies the main point of contention.

Lennox and vitali. This fight is simple.

Should the fight have been stopped? Yes. Look at the state of vitali's face. It wasn't one cut, it was multiple cuts.

Lennox was tired, Vitali was winning blah blah blah ALL COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT.

Lewis beat Klitscho fair and sqare and caused enough damage to prevent his opponant continuing that is the bottom line. There have been loads of fights through history where the guy who was ahead on points got knocked out or stopped. This was no different.

There still should of been a rematch though, im not really a fan of either fighter. But Lennox Lewis promised Vitali Klitschko a rematch and never gave him one.

IMO the Lennox Lewis fans use the excuse, that Lennox Lewis was old and ETC. Which i think is nonsense Lennox Lewis actually got better with age, and was coming off a great performance vs Mike Tyson.

If Lennox Lewis was so out of shape and ETC, then in his mind if he trained properly he should of beat Vitali Klitschko right ? IMO i don't think Lennox Lewis fancied his chances vs Vitali Klitschko.

Vitali Klitschko has a great chin, he took Lennox Lewis's best punches. Which only a few fighters have ever done, and the punch that caused the cut. Was a grazing shot and it was a freak accident. And quite lucky on Lennox Lewis's part.

Yes Lennox Lewis was coming on but he looked gased, from that final assault in the 6th round. And really and truthfully there should of been rematch, the fans wanted to see it. And it would of been a huge event between the two best Heavyweights.

But sadly Lennox Lewis retired, and we missed out on what possibly could of been the best Heavyweight fight of the decade.

Lastly not to go too far off topic but i think Ray Mercer, deserved a rematch vs Lennox Lewis aswell.

In an ideal world, but Mercer had nothing to offer Lewis, except for another vey tough fight. It was an interesting fight for Lewis to take at that stage, but I had him winning 96-94.

Yea i can understand why he didn't take it. Im not really faulting him for that, considering he was trying to get a fight with Mike Tyson at the time. And Ray Mercer was a very hot and cold fighter.

But i still would of liked to have seen it, and maybe over 12 rounds instead of 10 rounds. Because it was such a good fight, and so evenly contested. That its the kind of fight that needed those few extra rounds, to tell us who the real winner was.

If Lennox did give Vitali the re-match and won I think it would have severely halted Vitali's career.
