Lewis did retire after an unconvincing win ... but he was also an unconvincing Lewis in that fight. It wasn't Klit himself that scared Lewis off, and he is no wuss. But he had a certain gravity toward laziness that showed itself from time to time in unpreparedness. I think in terms of talent, he could have trained harder and come back to beat Klit convincingly. Not as convincingly as he did Rahman perhaps, and not easily, but without controversy.

But the task of coming back that prepared to fight this foe - at this time in his career - it all works together for him to make the decision he did.

Kind of cheap to take all the complexity out of his life and boil it all down to his (imagined) fear of Klitschko.

Seems like everyone lives in a shallow, predictable cartoon sort of sitcom ... everyone else, that is ... everyone except our very own selves, where we all know "it ain't that simple" as we go about making our own personal decisions in life.

How come is that?
