He was the champion, not Vitali and as far as im concerned he didnt and still doesnt owe Vitali a rematch.
you mean when lewis promised a rematch due to all the talk about klitschko having his number with only 11 days prep for it? yea...
Re: Would LEWIS come out of retirment to box Bowe
not fighting due to an injury and not fighting due to being scared is alot different. Maybe someone will discuss the difference to you, i just dont have the time.

Eubank Benn III is right up with it too >:mad
It wasn't politics that prevented this fight, it was Chicken Bowe.
They could have circumvented the politics & just fought if Bowe wanted to.
He did it with Holyfield the 3rd time round, presumably because he thought Holyfield was no threat.
I don't see Bowe being any more keen to make a fight with Lewis now than he was back then, it was an almost certain beatdown back then....and it still is now. Not that Lewis is coming out of retirement, he's a smart guy and doesn't need the money, and realises he doesn't need to do it for his legacy.
Dead right.
