Funny thing about that match...I tend to be a bit undecided on the possible outcome of that fight. Everyone looks at it differently & over the years I've heard just about every version that there is to offer. The ones that amuse me most?

#1: Klitschko fans say that Vitali wouldv'e knocked out given another two or three rounds.
#2: Klitschko haters say that Vitali was just holding on & that even with the sorry shape that Lewis showed up in...he still was having major issues with that version of Lewis.
#3: Lewis fans say that Lewis showed up unprepared but was still doing enough to to be beating him & knock him out.

The way I see it...both men were beating the hell out of each other & it was a really good fight for the division, the fans, & the sport at the time...I never figured out why everyone ripped it apart after it was over.

The fact is...if anyone was more unprepared...it would have been Vitali. He was only sparring & was a late fill in for Kirk Johnson whom Lewis was set to fight...if memory serves me correctly.

As far as who was giving whom more issues...honestly...I'd say that Vitali was the one that was giving Lewis more issues during the fight.

As far as who wouldv'e knocked whom out? I gotta be honest & say I don't have a fwockin clue.

I've watched that fight atleast 12 or more times...& each time I've got myself talked into the sure bet...I change my mind. It was a close fight & YES Vitali was definently winning...& more often than not...I truely believe that he would have knocked Lewis out in another round or so...but there again...you never know.

Both were true champions...no matter what anyone thinks...Wacko misses 'em both.

Maybe know that Wladimir has a few good wins under his belt he can overcome his ring demons & pick up the slack...I'd like to think so...but being a fan of Vitali first...in the past is has been a bit hard for me adjusting to Wlad...but he is growing on me.

Oddly enough...Wlad, I think, is the better boxer of the three as far as his technique goes...but that is an opinion that I am sure can be debated to the end of time.
