Then why are people giving Joe Calzaghe so much **** for retiring at age 37?
Vitali is still fighting at age 37.
Nobody should be giving Calzaghe **** for retiring. Does everybody have to fight until 45 like B-Hop now? Hopkins is an age freak like Archie Moore: He shouldn't be the measuring stick. Most fighters reflexes start to slide in their early 30s and when that starts to happen it's safe to say that they're past prime. Most fighters are completely washed up by their late 30s. I guess people expect fighters to hang around long past the point where they can be competive and are just embarresments to what they once were.
The Momentum was all for Vitali Klitschko. Yes, Lewis won by a technical knock out... but that's a cheap way for anyone to win a fight. Vitali was ahead on all the scorecards, and add to that the fact that Lewis was BOO'd out of the arena.

exactly , some people just dont get it and think fighters need to keep clearing their division perhaps till into their late 60's !!!!

A technical knockout is a cheap way to win? That's news to me...So I ugess Mosley's technical knockout win over Margarito is cheap?
Just look at the state of his face, he would've gotten knocked out, so I don't know what you're talking about. About the booing, I wouldn't say that, I don't know what you're talking about. Lennox even says so himself:

Lewis is a moron
Vitali whooped his ass and scared him into retirement. That's a FACT!

Lennox had a connect percentage of almost 50%, no doubt had the fight continued Vitali would have quit like he did against Byrd or worse, had permanent eye damage, much respect goes out to Dr. Paul Wallace for stepping up and taking necessary precautions.
