NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2003 What do you think? From Lennox's standpoint, he really has nothing to prove I guess, however the pay day would be huge as the public pretty much thinks he finally has a worthy opponent, and maybe he wants to "ride out onto the sunset" on a better note......... So do you think this fight will happen? Vitali definately looks ready. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2003 You're exactly right. It is going to come down to how much money it will take for Lennox to put his legacy on the line. Remember 10-15 years from now, not everyone will have seen the fight or remember Vitali was leading, just the visuals of the assualt on his face. If he gets enough zero's, Lennox will fight, and if he is motivated (Rahman re-match) he could dominate, but since he still has the title he may not be that motivated. And even then Vitali may be able to take it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2003 I think a win is a win in his mind. He'll retire, although he may come back for a big payday against Roy Jones Jr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2003 Jones won't fight him, because he knows he has no shot. No knock against Jones, but Lewis is just too big and too good a puncher for Jones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cartman 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2003 He's afraid of Vitali because he knows he was gonna get beat if not for the severity of that cut. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted December 10, 2003 That fight would suck. I think it's sketchy that Lewis will fight Vitaly again. He won the first fight by beating the guy bloody, even if he was down on the scorecards. On the same note, he was down on the scorecards, and Lewis is a bit of a perfectionist. He's beat everyone he's ever fought. Klitschko has absolutely nothing to lose, and everything to gain, is in the best shape of his career, just DEMOLISHED sacrificial lamb Kirk Johnson to eradicate any doubt that he's the #1 contender, and he still smells blood (his own included) from the first bout. Personally, I think Klitschko will beat his ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Kamala 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2003 Chris Byrd Vs Lennox Lewis would be a sucky, droning boring fight. I fucking hate Byrd, but if he fights anybody I want him to fight Vitali again, just so Vitali can prove he's the #1 contender. Still I'd prefer Vitali Vs Lennox Lewis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
