Lewis didn't have a chance against Klitschko, he was getting his ass whooped.
Being a showman is fine, but not if you're a disrespectful jackass, which Lewis is. He talks like he is superior, that he would have knocked Klitschko out in the next few rounds yet at the end of the 6th he practically collapsed onto his stool.
Meanwhile, Roy Jones Jr. truely has a legitamate shot at beating him because of his quickness. Bringing up the point of Lewis landing one punch and it's over makes no sense because if Lewis shows up for the Jones fight in that condition he'd only be able to hit Jones if Jones let him. If you caught the Ruiz fight (and Ruiz was in much better condition and much lighter and faster) Jones just toyed with him the entire match. The one punch I remember from that fight is when Jones has his hands down and is practically daring Ruiz to hit him, Ruiz bites and lunges with a knockout punch, Jones sidesteps and counters in one motion nailing Ruiz on the chin that sent him staggering. This isn't a fight like Ward vs. Gatti where they go and slug it out until one can't stand, this is "Pretty-Boy-You-Can't-Hit-Me" Roy Jones Jr. vs. "Washed-Up-Pompous-Jackass-That-Can't-Go-The-Distance" Lennox Lewis.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
