Lennox Lewis - How good was he?

[M Bison]

Lets just be honest here though and admit that Vitali Klitschko is Lennox Lewis best win even though LL required his fair share of luck in that fight.

[Weltschmerz]

He retired as an All Time Great fighter with hundreds of millions in the bank.

Vitali promised the world he would KO David Haye but ran into retirement with his tail between his legs and his best win being a LOSS to Lennox Lewis

What? That certainly did not happen... Haye ducked Vitali for several years and everybody knows it. Davey is scared shitless of Vitali.

That's ****** man..

Except there's one thing I will say against VK... At the time Haye and WK fought.. I personally think David Haye could have UD'd Vitali... Of course I think the prime Vitali would have beaten Haye soundly!

No. Lennox had many career highlights and defining wins. Vitali was just a bonus win at the end of an already legendary career.

Vitali Klitscko's career defining moment was having his face ripped into a menstruating vagina by Lennox Lewis

I don't think Haye intentionally ducked VK OR the other way around... Vitali would never be scared of Haye.

Haye would have had better chances vs Vitali at that stage because his mobility had declined somewhat.

Prime Vitali would smash Haye though of course.

Vitali Klitschko vs Lennox Lewis

THE TRUTH

Vitali took the fight on just 10 days notice.

Vitali was clearly winning the fight 4-2 on all 3 scorecards at the time of the controversial doctor stoppage. Lewis barely survived the 2nd round and almost got KO'd, he was badly hurt, holding on for dear life, wobbling everywhere and staggering around the ring like a drunk. Lewis was badly hurt several times in the fight and was getting outboxed, outworked, outmuscled and outlanded by Vitali.

punches landed

Vitali 156

Lewis 102


Lewis was exhausted, worn down and hurt from the accumulation of punches and was ready to get KTFO again, he collapsed onto his stool at the end of the 6th round, Vitali was clearly the fresher of the two, he was a man on a mission and would've KO'd Lewis for sure if the fight had continued.

After the fight, Vitali intimidated the **** out of Lewis and made him look like a *****.

All the fans at Staples Center cheered for Vitali and booed Lewis after the fight.

Lewis promised Vitali a rematch.

Vitali destroyed Kirk Johnson in 2 rounds and called out Lewis again in the post fight interview. The scared Lewis retired shortly after that fight.

Lewis turned down 40 million dollars for a rematch and retired like a coward because he knew he would get destroyed by Vitali.

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared his ***** ass into retirement.

George Foreman: "Vitali was winning the fight. Lewis got lucky. There has to be a rematch!"

Jim Lampley: "A lucky escape for Lewis who was clearly losing the fight"

Even Emanuel Steward was upset and pissed off at Lewis for blatantly ducking a Vitali rematch.

Lewis is scared to death of Vitali.

Vitali wasn't even in his prime yet.

Lewis was 37, not really that old for a HW.

Vitali is 40 and is still dominating. He hasn't lost a single round in his comeback.

Lewis said he was "at the peak of my powers" when he got his ass whooped by Vitali.

Lewis was coming off the KO win over Tyson. In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

Vitali dominated Lewis and scared him into retirement.

Vitali is a better fighter than Lewis.

THIS ^^^^

Is there anybody opposed who can refute this very powerful and inescapable statement???!!!

[Mitchell Kane]

You don't believe a Vitali rematch and/or a Vladimir fight would have been worthwhile for Lummox?

It would've been worthwhile if Wladimir had rematched Ross Purrity, or Corrie Sanders, or not waited until Lamon Brewster was coming off a loss, eye surgery and 13 month layoff.

If you want to go with that "scared into retirement" then at least address Vitali-Hasim Rahman. Vitali found a lot of ways to get out of that fight.

And you musta missed that right had the last 20 seconds of the 6th round Lewis-Vit that had Vitali holding on til the round.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

At least Lewis fought Vitali once. Vitali never fought Haye

Vitali ran off into politics to escape Haye....after promising the world he'd knock him out.

Vitali after the Chisora fight, "If Chisora was a bit faster, I would be in big trouble"

Vitali was **** scared of David fckin Gaye
