I still think that Vitali would have beaten Lyle. Too big. Too strong.

Also, I have the Klitschko-Lewis fight on tape, and have watched it at least a couple of dozen times. Vitali was dominant, as reflected in all three judges having him ahead 4 rounds to 2 at the time of the stoppage.

The look of relief on Lewis's face tells the story. He was taking a beating, and didn't have any more in the tank than Klitschko. As for the cut that stopped the bout, it was a puncture wound, caused by a piece of loose tape on Lennox's glove; not a punch. It's ridiculous that they stopped the bout with Vitali ahead. I've seen Arturo Gatti bleeding much worse and the doctors allow the fight to continue because he was winning.
