Was Lennox Lewis shot when he fought Vitali?

[Flawless]

25 million not to fight a rematch,

one of the most obvious occasions of a fighter ducking,

if Vitali was so **** and his best victory is a loss, why no rematch?

easy money for Lewis, right? well Lewis didnt think so,

you`re just a hater, never give a white fighter any credit,

you should get back to telling people how Calzaghe`s win over Kessler is meaningless because Kessler`s best win is Mundine,

complete bull****, you try to discredit all successful white fighters , its something i have noticed with you,

How is it a duck when Lewis come into the fight sluggish and weigh in a record weight? What is wrong retiring on top when you are 37 and been through a lot and fought the best available. Why take a rematch past your prime which could damage your legacy?? You admit that Vitali best win is a defeat, how sad

Hey look Flawless discredit my fighter he is a racist and he racist when he discredit Tito Eubank Oh no

Whats wrong with Calzaghe retiring at 37? Are you gonna comment on your clear hypocrisy or still busy trying to think of a lame excuse?

Lewis fought the best when he had to and was ducked by prime Tyson Bowe and others. Calzaghe fought nobody weak division and still has more to give. He should have fought Pavlik then retired instead of Jones and than retire. Lewis fought Vitali at 37 a prime young fighter.

i didnt admit that you fool, that was what you said, so i put that in my post saying if it was so easy and that is Vitali `s best win why no rematch,

you are too slow to realise,

why the double standards when it comes to Lewis and Calzaghe?

Lewis at 37 fought Vitali and won, Calzaghe at 37 is fighting RJJ who is 40. Before Vitali he fought Tyson Rahman Tua. Before RJJ Calzaghe fought Hopkins Kessler Peter Manfredo Jr. There is a difference

[P4P Opinion]

Bottom line: both fighters were equally underprepared, because they were training for other fighters. The difference was that Vitali had actually bothered to get himself in shape for this other fight, while Lennox hadn't. Vitali was in shape and in his prime, wheras Lennox was out of shape, out of his prime and plain old. When the fight was stopped, it was either 4-2 to Vitali or 3-3, but whichever way you look at it, Lennox had the momentum at the time, having definately won the last 2 rounds. The cuts Vitali suffered were terrible and caused by punches Lennox threw. You can say this is unlucky for Vitali, but he was stopped in a legitimate way.

Lennox knew that a rematch would be an extremely tough fight, a war in fact and he thought to himself 'what do I have left to prove? Nothing. I beat him legitimately first time'.

End of discussion.

What do you think?

he certainly wasnt shot as his previous fight was an impressive and expected destruction of tyson. he was a young 37 with not a lot of wear and tear as he started his career somewhat late and was never in any wars besides the mercer fight

[Silencers]

I don't think he was shot but past his prime, out of shape and unmotivated IMO.

[phallus]

I don't think he was shot but past his prime, out of shape and unmotivated IMO.

he didn't want to fight anymore, that's a pretty good reason to end a career, and he had nothing else left to prove
