Yes it does, because contrary to what you say, Klitschko won the last round, and until he got that cut he was winning that round. The score was 4-2. And...the cut was NOT serious enough to stop such a fight. You seem unaware of the actual facts. The cut was diagonally across the fleshy part of his eyebrow, it had NO EFFECT on his vision at all, nor did it impede him from opening his eye as wide as he wanted to.
Furthermore, the doctor gave 3 different and equally weak explanations as to why he stopped a fight because of a cut, when the cut had been controlled and had not been bleeding since the 4th round. These are facts not opinions.
And again furthermore, that fight was in June of 2003 and Lewis shamefacedly, after a diatribe against theklitschkos, confirmed that he was giving him a return. This is what happened. the return was accepted as being agreed on. But then..... Lewis made a stipulation that Klitschko would have to travel to London to be examined by his, Lewis's eye surgeon so as to make sure that his eye wasn't going to open up in the first round and cheat the fans out of a fight (very public spirited...). 10 days exactly, after the fight, Klitschko appeared on a special TV interview just to show that, not only had his eye been attended to, but that the damage was invisible. It just couldn't be seen even with closeups.
Then Klitschko travelled to London and was examined and got an OK. The fight was to have been held on Dec 10th 2003, but Lewis had dragged his feet so much, with evasions that Klitschko eventually fought Kirk Johnson on that night, KOing him in the 2nd rd. Johnson was Lewis's original fight for which Klitschko stepped in at 9 days notice. Lewis, very clever over money, negotiated a mentioned $4 mill extra.
And finally....The WBC gave Lewis until end of March (I think) to rematch Klitschko, or he'd be stripped. Lewis waited until the very morning of the day he was to have been stripped and announced his retirement.
These are the facts, I don't care if they are pro or con Klitschko or Lewis, I liked both of them but i have a lot more respect for the Klitschkos, and their doings OUTSIDE the ring.... As far as i am concerned, Lewis behaved with pure spite and malice.Comment

I'd say if he came back at 48/49 and lost with no tune-ups after ten years retired, you take that for what it's worth.
Louis-Marciano and Ali-Holmes didn't exactly result in historical shifts in regard long term, and none would be as silly as this.
I'm going to go with this ain't happening but makes for amusing comedy.Comment

Kilts bros are at the end of the line
This wouldn't be young guy beating old man entirely
I'm with you on this, its comical to think someone would pay Lewis that amount of money.Comment

Wlad isn't young, but he's active and in the midst of a long reign. This wouldn't be a fight. It's a transaction.
And, again, I'm entertaining this as comedy. It is soooooooooo unlikely. Asking for 100 Milli is the same as saying, "Haha...I'm fifty. Fifty years old!"
Seriously...he hasn't fought in ten years and he's almost fifty. He can stretch. he can kick. I don't know if he can fight anymore. George Foreman this ain't, and he took 20 fights to get back in shape from 38-42.Comment
