    Precisely. Klitschko isn't even a top 3 fighter on Lewis' resume.

    Klitschko fans can whine all they want but they can't change what happened in the ring that night or the official result. Lewis TKO6

    Personally i thought it was an excellent fight, albeit Lewis looked very rusty in the first couple of rounds for whatever reason. But it was truly one of the best fights I've seen in years, especially in the heavyweight division. I wish people would focus more on the entertainment of the fight than rematches and all that crap.

    If Lewis hadn't retirement the rematch issue would be a legit argument, but he did, and so it's not.

    As to the fight, I think it enhanced both their legacies tremendously. Sort of like Ali-Frazier III, where you can even admire the loser for giving it his all.

    Funny no one talks about how tired Ali was and that if the fight continued perhaps he would have collapsed in exhausion. But the truth is, fighters fight and Lewis sure as hell wasn't going to give up. Neither fighter was. So this idea of one of the fighters running out energy later in the fight is bogus.
