It's tough to say. Vitali was ahead, but Lewis was coming on. I would have to go back and watch it again to give an honest opinion. From what I remember, it could have gone either way.
Lennox destroyed Vitali's face. It was a solid win. Lennox opened the cut and worked at it to force the stoppage. It wasn't a headbutt so it was a legit' TKO and a great win.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not a Lewis nuthugger, I like Vitali, but you gotta' face the real facts and unfortunatly for Vitali bumboys the real facts are that Lewis TKO'd his face.
Since when a cut (even big one) means solid win?
Yes, Lenox lended some bombs in 6, but Vit took all of them well.
Lenox was out of steam ploped down on stool, and look at Vialiy after fight...
Vitali would KOd lenox in late rounds as he does to all opponents usually.
It really doesn't matter what you think would happen as it's all speculation at the end of the day. Lewis won an thats it.
I know, I know.
Sure it does not metter.
It doesnot metter that Lenox gave a word for remuch and retired afterwords.
And it does not metter that he predicted easy wins for next three Vit's opponents.
And Vit distroyed all of them.
It does no metter at all.

Exactly, Lewis had bad stamina, he never KOed a fighter after the 8th round, whereas Vitali has had plenty of knockout between rounds 9-12. I find that excuse that Lennox was coming on and Vitali was going to get knocked out in the next few rounds to be weak at best. Vitali was never really in any real trouble, whereas Lennox looked like he was on the verge of getting KOed in that 2nd round. I know that Vitali said in his post fight interview that he knew that Lennox was getting tired and that he was letting him tire himself out to knock him out in those later rounds where h knew he was going to lose that power. Obviously it is impossible to tell what would have really happenedhad that fight gone on, but I think Vitali was spot on about how it would have more likely have ended.
BTW, anyone notice how defensive Lewis was in the post fight interview with Merchnt? It seems like even he knew he was getting his ass handed to him by Vitali and the fight handed to him by the doctor.

Or.
May be it does?
No it doesn't, you can go on about lewis predictions all you want, it doesn't make the likelihood of Vitali winning any greater. Lewis was old and fat, and he still won.
I also believe that Lewis didn't quit because he was scared of Vit. He was aware that it would be difficult to beat many top heavyweight in the condition he was in and realized that he simply didn't have the motorvation to extensively train for another fight.

Now it is my turn to say that it does no metter what you think about it.
Coz in the name of this threed there are words " who would've won"
So, it means that everyone is free to dispute or conjecture what would've happend in that fight.
Period.
BTW Lenox was planning three more fight before retirment...
He chenged his mind for some reason.
He-he.
