This was the last great fight Clash of the Titans

I was at this fight and it was fantastic. I’ve never heard a crowd roar like that. People were going absolutely bonkers. The put footage of Klitschko’s cut man probing his cut on the Jumbotron and I got physically I’ll. What a great fight. About a year later I saw Klitschko running on Venice Beach with his trainer. I wish I had told him what a great fighter he was. I hope he doesn’t die in this war. This guy is a treasure.

Vitali lost from a cut but won the hearts of the fans that night. He sent Lewis into retirement. Lewis didn't want any part of a rematch.

Boxing will never witness a fight of dis magnitude anymore

There’s no how you’ll watch Lewis fight and he’ll not impress you. I guess Vitali had the upper hand from the beginning but Lewis’s never giving up attitude made him to blow Vitali eyes. Against the rope - he punches, almost falling - he punches any how never count him out! That upper cut by Lewis at 10:15 is enough to end the fight but guess what! Vitali is another hell of a fighter!

Deap respect, no winner just two brave gladiators. Humbling and inspirational.

Love the way lennox stud his ground in this fight

Vitali was the most underrated

And then Lewis said to himself, "fuck this, I'm rich, I'm not going back into this sort of punishment" 🤣

2 great fighters....Vitali was hard as nails & Lennox Lewis was pure class

What a fight! The power of some of those punches!

Man when Lewis hits you it's like a jackhammer. These dudes are warriors.

10:15 epic uppercut ever. Greatness

You always know when you’re witnessing greatness from both fighters when you want both to win.

Had he not caused that cut near Klitschko’s eye, Lewis would probably have lost this fight! I’m a Lennox Lewis fan, but Vitali Klitschko was showing off some very good fighting skills! I bet Lennox was happy af , when they told him it was over!

Vitali Klitcho’s cardio is on another level. If this fight wasn’t stopped, he could have won it

1990s fighters faught with honour

10:15 would have ko'ed any other guy instantly. Vitali took that as if nothing happend. what a chin.

Я не знаю почему в коментах, даже славяне обсираете Виталика? Это лутший тяж со словянской фамилией, за все время,ну не было и нету пока такого боксера на всем бывшем СССР

If it wasn't stopped, maybe history would say differently, or if there was a second meeting, but unfortunately, Lenox would rather hang up his boxing gloves than have a second drawn fight.

Respect for Lennox Lewis; who has The Rock of Gibraltar as his Jaw. He has grit and frightening endurance.

Vitali a true warrior as well as Lewis

Lewis knew that was the end! Saying yes to a rematch when his team screamed hell no!

One of the best fights for me

Bis heute einer der besten Box Kämpfe die ich je gesehen habe. Best Fight!!!!

What a Fight !!!! Lewis showed tremendous guts ...So did Vitali......What a shame it ended on cuts....WOuld have been an even Greater fight if it wasnt stopped as both were gassed but Very determined.... Wish we saw more of Vitali. He could have been a champion for a long time like his brother. Lewis ...one of the 10 Best Heavyweights of All time.

Great fight, two brave Gladiators.

Loved both fighters. My dad loves boxing so I grew up watch Lennox. Lewis vs Mercer is one of my favorites. Underated fight.

Un beau combat équilibré . Ils ont tous les deux encaissés et bien donnés . Bravo à vous deux !

This fight along with the Mercer, Tua, Holyfield, Mavrovic and Bruno fights debunks the myth that Lewis had a glass jaw. He took some punishment and some good shots in the above fights. For someone who was dropped only twice in his career to be said to have a weak jaw while others who were knocked down or out myriad times to be considered tough is a joke that has run out of freshness.

I think Klitschko was winning the fight until it was stopped

Vitali and Lennox are beasts imagine if vitali fought Mike 🤛🏻

Although Lewis lost two fights from a KO this fight was harder on him as he took alot of heavy shots throughout the entire fight. He got the win but must have felt lucky.

Had this fight went on longer, lewis would have won

Well All I can say is There were two men in the ring that night And remember Lew's said he was going to make a dog fight out of it And damn what a good fight these two have the world that night

These two guys really gave it their best and they were in good shape. It seemed Klitschko was ahead on points when the cut got the best of him. Damn good fight.

The judges should’ve taken a point away from Lewis for holding around Vitali’s neck while hitting him. Very dirty.

Vitali is the best heavyweight figher since Ali. He was always much better then Wladimir. I think he is the only heavyweight fighter (of the real top stars in heavyweight boxing) who never really lost a fight. His two "losses" were a joke. He dominated Chris Byrd and "lost" just due to injury. And the "loss" vs Lennox was a complete disgrace. He dominated Lewis and outscored him on all three scorecards and it was just a question of 2 or 3 more rounds until Vitali would have knocked out a completely exhausted Lewis. Until they (thanks you to Mr Don King!) "stole" the fight due to "injury". Watch the video of this fight and see the reaction of Vitali and Lennox after the ref stopped the fight. Vitali was upset like hell and was completely fit and able to keep fighting! And Lennox was even too exhausted to stand up to celebrate his "victory". LOL What a JOKE!! All of the greatest heavyweights (Ali, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Wladimir, Joshua) got knocked out sooner or later in their career. Not Vitali!!! Vitali was not even down with a single knee during his whole career. Never saw him shaking, not even for a single second during his whole career. Never saw any fear in his eyes!! Mentally unbelievable strong! Fist AND Chin made of steel!!!

Lewis was already on the decline but still dangerous. I wish they had fought two years earlier. This was the only time when Vitaly was seriously challenged. After that, Vitaly kinda breezed through everyone after Lewis retired. Monday mrn - January 3, 2022.

Brutal pelea Ésta aún se disfruta 😎🤦🏻‍♂️👏🏻

Klitscko might of won if not for ref interference but would of been seriously injured because Lewis was targeting that open wound!

Vitali fight like an Actor in the movie. But honestly speaking Vitali really beat Lennox.

Lennox Lewis last fight was the hardest fight in his career. Klitschko was better and was ahead on points. Two great fighters.

Both men are a credit to the Sport of Boxing and to themselves.

R.I.P. Fritz Sdunek!

People in this comment section are acting as though Vitali's cut were a one-in-a-million fluke. Vitali went into this fight and chose to trade punches in the middle of the ring with one of history's hardest and most accurate punchers. He could have used more finesse, given that he was younger and in much better shape. He didn't. Lewis bashed him in the face repeatedly. He got cut. What else could anyone expect?

The stopping of the fight saved him from permanent damage. 🙏🏽

Ukraine vs England 2022 Fury vs usyk

Klitschko deserved more than Lewis

Lewis had a good chin. The only 2 times he was knocked out is when he wasn't focused during the actual exchanges. In this fight he took alot of hard shots....and Vitali was a very devastating puncher. Not that many fighters Vitali fought stood up to so many shots. Just look at his record

Great fight Much love from Ghana Africa

Lennox was clearly losing this fight. First time I saw him convincingly outmatched.

It's 2021 never forget..... Klitschko wins !

Klitschko legend!

Best fight I have seen

The last really great heavyweight fight.

The only thing you can say about Klitscho is affirm the brand he chose for himself: "Mount Everest"! He is a pure machine of combat. Disciplined in both defence and ring violence! Very few Heavyweights; had such a basket full of offensive payload. He lived the myth of The Great White Hope; after the dimmed Rocky Marciano.

A good fight!

The fight that ended Lewis. He wanted no more.

One of the Best fights in the Boxing cince

Grande luta !

Lewis foi o melhor boxeador que ja vi ate hoje.

Man, you could just hear the power of that uppercut Lennox threw at Vitali and Vitali wasn't even downed. Vitali's Superman!!

Феноменальный бой!!!!!!!!!

Watching these two fight was like, if you threw two daddy long leg spiders in the water and watched them swing away profusely in vain attempts to survive 😂😂😂

Виталька красавчег дал прикурить как следуеет...

Knockout is rather misleading. The fight was stopped on a cut caused by punches, which is a TKO. Up to the then, the fight was very close. Both Lennox Lewis and Vitali (The older, bigger) Klitschko were great fighters and great guys.

Slugfest at its best. This is the type of fights that end career!

Lennox was one tough SOB

What a warrior Lennox is and Vitali of course who was ahead on points. But the damage Lennox caused ended the fight that's boxing. Well done Lennox for refusing to give in!

Wow , that was a great fight. The fight should have continued.

Lennox definitely was a tough cookie, could see him beating wilder, fury and joshua. Maybe usyk too

Lewis won that hard fight Klitschko did a good job stopping him throwing that right hand

Would of liked to see a rematch

title misleading - KNOCKOUT is something else

Lennox lewis was 38 years old in this fight and klitshcko was 32 and he still managed to beat him so if a old lennox lewis beat klitschko imagine what a prime young lennox lewis would do to him lennox lewis one of the best boxers of all time

Wow, what a battle!

My favorite heavyweight fight. Both in top form.

Lewis tucked his tail and retired rather than give Vitali a mandatory rematch.

Lennox absorbed some MASSIVE shots!

Not knockout, this is TKO

Lewis was already older in that fight . But he still managed to beat a young Klitschko. Who basically beat every1 after lewis retired . Shows how good the 90s boxers were .

The gas of Vitali, the courage the, power, Lewis was done had they not stopped the fight

Жаль, болел за Кличко! Ленокс железный , не падает ! Виталя молодец 👏

This is the fight that determined Lennox decision retirement

Lennox is from Canada 🇨🇦 as per his Olympic participation.

They offered Lewis 20 million for a rematch and he declined it and retired he was getting up there in age and I think it was a smart decision in his behalf I think he wouldn’t have won a rematch

..........That has to be the best fight I have ever seen........

Jedna z najważniejszych walk w historii boksu. Lewis - dla mnie mistrz wszechczasów i faworyt - miał tu poważne problemy, i to on był w tej walce na skraju nokautu.! Kontuzja Kliczki zmieniła przebieg pojedynku i gdyby nie to, Lennox najprawdopodobniej skończyłby na deskach. Witalij był wtedy wielkim mistrzem, dużo większym niż Władimir kiedykolwiek.

what a brutal fight ❤

Thank u

Battle of the giants! Lewis looked so damn slow in that fight. He was too heavy and sluggish. Klitschko looked more sharp and on point. However, he couldn’t finish Lewis. It was a heavyweight slug/hug match. I thought K won that fight though regardless.

What a great warriors.

~It's; "VERY RARE" ..To See: ``LENNOX LEWIS`` Getting CHALLENGED!

Kick from Klitscko was Amazing

Here in 2022 as Russia invades Ukraine. Godspeed Mr. Klitschko: “As a former officer, I spent a lot of time in the army. As a former soldier, I am ready to defend my country, to defend the independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine. Will I fight in the war against Russia? Yes, of course. I will fight in the front lines.” - Vitali Klitschko

Lewis was a true heavyweight. Underrated. One of the best

Lewis was 38 and hadn't prepared properly. He could still occasionally go into beast mode though!

Amazing!

Those power jabs from Lewis were something else
