A lot of athletes have been emotional after big wins or losses like Jordan, Kobe, Mayweather. Even Hopkins almost broke down after the Pavlik fight.

With that said though he should have taken his preparation more serious because there's no excuse coming in there at 251 in his prime when just 3 years ago he was at 229.


If he really cared about the fight he wouldn't be such a out of shape fat +$#

he's not
and there isn't any heavyweight since LL that has a chance against Vitali (and even Lewis knew he was in trouble against Vitali).

no
 
Name a heavyweight since Vitali came on the scene that has put up a decent chance against him?

Just because he's not an all-time great doesn't mean he isn't the best there is right now.

He is legit, he's beat a ton of quality contenders in his day and was winning that Lewis fight and hurt Lewis a few times before they had to call it offbecause of the cut over his eye. And the first fight is one of the best heavyweight fights I've ever seen and was also a very close fight.

B-Hop is still one of my favorite fighters, and RJ was his only L in my mind...As for the date, I think they both have tune-ups: X vs. a tin can on local cablein Dec. and RJ against Danny Green (someone he promotes) in Australia in Dec. so I guess the fight would take place around March of 2010?...i like the 60/40 KOsplit arrangement, more fighters should agree to that
 
lewis was going to go down that night and started hitting that cut with his fist and head to get that fight called
 
BTW, anyone trying to go to the fight?

I'm thinking about driving down for the night but I don't want to miss some of the other fights that night too.

@ Ghostbusters. Kelly gonna KO him, stand over him and say "read the trunks %%%$@."

Don't even gotta wait for November, we get to see JT and Froch get KOed Oct. 17th, Golota/Adamek the 24th and Agbeko/Perez (great fight) on the 31st.
 
You stonefacing me on both or just JT?

And like I said I'm probably driving down if anyone from the city wants to hitch or ride. I'd be down to meet up there too.
