I'll be amazed if Vitali can pull it off on such short notice. Lewis should win easy.

I don't know how good Vitali's jaw is as he has never faced anyone who can punch like Lewis. However, Vitali hits really, really hard and Lewis has been knocked out buy one punches before, so anything can happen.

Should be fun!

I heard on the radio yesterday that George Foreman is coming out of retirement once again and is planning on fighting Klitschko. Has anyone heard the same?

Foreman supposedly said that the only two guys he wouldn't fight are Lewis and Tyson.

well, if vitali's chin is anything like wladmir's chin, i'm thinking lewis by KO.

vitali does have a strong right, and lewis has been KO'ed by a lucky right hand in the past.

if klitschko wins, foreman wants to fight him. he wants to take advantage of an inexperienced uncoordinated fighter so he can be the hw champ a third time. if lewis wins, i'm not so sure he'll come back. he won't fight lewis because lewis is too big, talented, and coordinated. and i think he just feels sorry for tyson, so he refuses to fight him.

what i'm looking forward to is roy jones vs lewis. i'll pee myself if that fight gets made.

regarding tyson getting arrested... i was surprised when i heard about it. the person asked me "why the hell are you surprised?" i responded that i'm not surprised that tyson was arrested, but i was surprised to think people were stupid enough to get into a street fight with mike tyson.

Great ****ing fight! One of the best heavyweight fights in years.

Those cuts were disgusting

Vitali kicked his ass pretty damm good and was winning on all the scorecards. He actually does have a good jaw, too bad they had to stop it, I think he could had won.

Lewis was full of **** after the match, boy was he lucky that the doctor stopped it.

I hope they do a rematch.

I predict that Witaly will kick Lennox's ass, but that Lennox will be declared the winner. Bring on Roy Jones!!

i have to tip my hat off to vitali. he certainly did much better than i expected. he lost a lot of respect after quitting against byrd, but he gained it back after continuing to fight against lewis. he's got heart. he also proved he's got a pretty damn good chin. he ate those uppercuts and kept coming.

the smartest thing for klitschko to do would be to avoid a rematch. before this fight, vitali had never fought a top 10 guy and was considered the worst of the klitschko brothers. if he lost, then it was what everyone expected. he had nothing to lose. now he's made a name for himself, and gained the respect of boxing fans. lewis hadn't fought in over a year, and weighed in the heaviest of his career. he took vitali lightly, and he still managed to bust up klitschko's face. in a rematch lewis would take him a lot more seriously, and klitschko would be in a position to lose all the respect he gained.

now i'm thinking roy jones actually has a shot with a big money fight against lewis. though lewis wouldn't underestimate jones. he'd have to train his ass off and cut weight to keep up with the fitter smaller man.

however, as a fan, i can't wait to see those giants go at it again!
