Lewis was way over the hill, practically an old man, and Vitali was in his prime, and yet Vitali still couldn't beat him. Lewis landed some incredibly clean shots on Vitali, and like he said himself, he did ridiculous damage to his face. It's not like it was caused by a butt. Lewis won fair and square.
But yeah, agree with everything else you said.
I 100% agree that fight should have been stopped. You could see Klitschko's eyeball through his eyebrow. Lewis won, no argument from me. But he was getting his ass kicked.

It was disappointing to me because I wanted more fight. It was a disappointing end to what was really a fantastic fight.

My biggest fear is if Manny fights a defensive fight of his own, scared of the counter-punch. I think Manny has to get in and out fast, I think whoever wins will be decided on how well Manny does this.
This is the thought that led me to think Mayweather would win in a decision.
I don't think Manny will ever forget this moment:

He probably doesn't remember this:

And because of this, Manny will play it safe and box defensively. Which would lead to anti-climax and I think a win by decision for Mayweather.
I think Mayweather just has to do what he does already. Manny has to be perfect. I think that plays in Floyd's favor.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
