Even taking into account the fact that he had a full horde with him? Obviously one mob = one player is silly, and probably the old Knights rule of 2:1 is silly as well... but six level 51-60 mobs surely equal one adventurer for the purposes of parity, respect, and honor, no?
Another argument could be made that a lich is a harvester of souls, calling them to bear upon his opponent via phylacteries, and that fighting a lich isn't strictly fighting one singular being....
I fought him a few times solo when he didn't have a horde, and did fine each time... but with a full set of lieutenant (or Blademaster... *shudder*) zombies... eww.
