Lennox Lewis Planning Return Against Klitschko?
Why the fwook are all these old fighters coming back? Klit,Lewis,Holyfield,Mesi,Morrison,McCall etc etc!
The news of a Lewis return was initially broken by UK news outlet "Daily Mail." The paper conducted an interview with promoter Frank Warren, who revealed that he was told by Top Rank president Bob Arum, that Lewis was making moves for a return to the ring to fight Klitschko.
Warren says that Arum told him - "Lennox has been discussing with his pals at HBO the prospect of a one-off world title re-match with Klitschko."
Warren says that he is making plans to stage the bout between late September and early November, in Wembley Stadium. Lewis stands to make $25 million for the fight.

I respect Lewis for staying out of retirement. It shows a dignity.
What if he comes back and loses??? Let's be honest...he didn't have it all his own way in their first bout!
Stay out of retirement Lennox...retire at the top! O0
Re: Lennox Lewis Planning Return Against Klitschko?
just seen it on sky news. please dont do it Lennox. If you come back and lose you will lose some of your legacy. had he fought Klitschko in an immediate rematch he would of KOd vitali. four years would of passed now and I wouldnt be as certain now

I hope this doesnt happen too. A rematch and Lennox would have won, but its been a long time. Im not sure how I feel about this, Lennox always seemed to have his head screwed on....
Re: Lennox Lewis Planning Return Against Klitschko?
Money aside (although it would be a lot) Lennox has nothing to gain from this fight and I hope he stays retired. Hes already beaten Vitali once to do it again now after they've both been retired for a while seems pointless. I see why Vitalis coming back because he never wanted to quit he just needed to let his injuries heal. But Lewis retired at the right time, on top with no one left to beat. Why come back now when theres still no one worthwhile for him to fight?

How many times have we heard this though ?! I remember just a couple years back , it was all over the papers that Lennox was coming back and nothing ever came of it . Its just hype and people making things up . Until I hear it from Lewis himself , I wont believe it . The guy is far too smart

Re: Lennox Lewis Planning Return Against Klitschko?
he is smart yes - hope this does not happen
but its the amount of $$$$ that might get waved in front of him that worries me....
if he got offered say 30-35 million dollars say and turned it down - is that smart ??!?!? ;D
Re: Lennox Lewis Planning Return Against Klitschko?
He cant come back now. Have you seen that car insurance advert :-X

I don't care too much about lewis who is too old and completely out of shape but for peter Samuel, who should again step aside apparently.
when boxing stinks....
Re: Lennox Lewis Planning Return Against Klitschko?

...if this doesn't pump some adrenaline into a
division that has been a sleeper nothing will!!!!
Re: Lennox Lewis Planning Return Against Klitschko?
But that in itself is what's so sad :-\
Re: Lennox Lewis Planning Return Against Klitschko?
Same old, same old
These stories always cause a stir...
Re: Lennox Lewis Planning Return Against Klitschko?
if i was lewis and was thinking of coming back against vitali id take warm up fight and see how it goes if he performs really well then hell yea go get him lewis if he struggles go back into retirement if i was lewis thats what id do
and i think he will train really hard against vitali because remember both men wernt in best shape this could be even better war than 1 st one i know what people are saying if he loses ect and i understand but what if he wins ?? no more doubters and people can say he wasnt lucky ect maybe lewis has this on his mind and cant get rid of it maybe he has to beat vitali to get rid of this thing in his mind * would i have lost if it wouldnt of been for cut* im sorry guys i am really excited about this because you finally get to see two great hws go at it something we havent seen in years ;)
