    Lewis was about to years past his prime? You gotta be kidding!

    Lewis peaked late, some argue that the aggressive early Lewis was better, but he developed more variety later & was past his prime that night-partly due to condition-but not far past it in time. All you ned to do is see who he fought when the last few years.

    It is unknown who would won, but Lewis was coming on. And the cut is a part of boxing, nothing unsavory. There is every reason to believe prime lewis is better, & fought in a better era.

    Though both Klitchkos are underrated by many.

    Kiltskos are not underrated. They are overrated

    The klitschkos career is not more impressive than beating sam peter or chris Byrd.

    That is not the quality of a top 20 HW

    They are easily top 20 & at least borderline for top 10.

    It is a weak era, but the vast majority of HWs-& so many fighters-are slammed for not being able to fight greats.

    There is only so weak any era can be. When you look at the strong of victories & record, then consider how they would have done head to head-even though size helps a lot-I do not see how anyone fair & balanced would not at least see them easily in the top 20.
