Did you watch the fight? Klitchko was dominating Lewis, ahead on all scorecards, and had hurt Lewis quite a few times. Did you see Lewis at the end of the sixth, he was done, he could hardly even stay on his feet. And the cut was actually caused by a scratch from the seam of one of Lewis' gloves, when Lewis was using a pawing jab. Diaz did look impressive, but I'm not sold on him beating any of the top fighters in his division for one reason, he has little to no power. He's a great boxer, but that was only his 14th KO in 27 fights, most against pretty bad competition. For the amount of punches Irwin took, he should have been KO'd by the 5th. Diaz just lacks the one shot power that is needed to be a top level fighter.
He was dating Miss Jamaica a few years back, well at least they were photographed together and the tabloids claimed they were dating. As for thier first fight Klitchko clearly won the first few rounds but Lennox won the last two rounds before it was stopped. If it had gone any further Lennox would have probably knocked him out or Klitchko would only have one eye right now. The Heavyweight division is full of bums including Klitchko. While Lewis is no Ali or Tyson in his prime he is still a pretty good heavyweight who has beaten every fiighter he has fought and has never ducked anyone. If Lewis comes back in shape and takes Klitchko seriously i think he will win. However considering he is not even taking warm up match before fighting Klitchko to shake off the ring rust makes me believe he just wants the paycheck and doesn't really care if he wins or loses.
Actually they were both done after the sixth Klitchko was leaning all over Lewis and wasn't even throwing punches.
Yes, I saw Pacquiao fight Barrera live in San Antonio in November 2003. Pacquiao was a 4:1 underdog and he came in there and just destroyed Barrera. He's the most exciting fighter in boxing right now.
That's how heavyweights fight, there is a tremendous amount of holding. Klitchko had plenty of energy left to run around the ring yelling and screaming after the fight was stopped.
I maybe in the minority but i think vitali is fading when they stop the fight ,granted that lewis is out of shape and also tired when they stop the fight but with the cut that vitali had i dont think he would have last.
There is a difference between leaning and holding your opponent to get an advantage and doing the same thing because you're dead tired. If you've watched a lot of boxing it's easy to see. What Lewis and Klitchko were doing in the sixth was from pure exhaustion.
Yeah, now he is contradicting the statement. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=1973545 LONDON -- Former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis denied a published report that said he'll end his retirement to fight Vitali Klitschko in November. The London tabloid the Sunday Mirror quoted Lewis as saying, "I'm making a comeback later this year. The money is up to 21 million pounds [$39.3 million] right now and I simply can't turn that much cash down. "I need the money just like everyone else and it's just too good to turn down." Bernd Boente, manager of WBC title-holder Klitschko, told BBC Radio Five Live: "I have talked to Vitali and he's happy to go." But later Sunday, Lewis released a statement saying he was not making a comeback. "I want to reiterate what I said when I retired in February 2004 that I was fortunate to leave the sport on my own terms and that I will be one of the few heavyweight champions in history to retire on top and stay retired," he said. Lewis, 39, retired Feb. 6 with a 41-2-1 record. Klitschko assumed the title April 24 when he beat Corrie Sanders. Lewis and Klitschko last fought in June 2003. Lewis was behind on points when the fight was stopped in the sixth round because Klitschko was cut. That was Lewis' last fight and he was booed out of the ring after a poor performance. The WBC mandated a rematch, but Lewis retired instead. News of a possible comeback stunned most observers. Lewis has spent much of 2004 in Jamaica with his partner and their first baby, the Mirror reported. But Lewis did hint at a possible wish to return after Briton Danny Williams' battering at the hands of Klitschko in a world title bout in Las Vegas last month. "I wanted to get in the ring and show Danny how to beat him," Lewis said at the time. "I've had to listen to a lot of rubbish from Klitschko and he is starting to get on my nerves."
