I hope those are only rumors. If he wanted to have a rematch with Klitschko then he could've done so right after the first fight, now is a horrible time and I'm sure Lewis is -1% of what he used to be as a 41 year old.

It won't happen Lennox won first fight fair and square Klitchko should get over it move on
What for? :(
Lennox needs to enjoy! his retirement and wait for the Canastota letter in a few years.
I think this fight could permenently destroy the heavyweight division... especially if Lewis trains hard, and beats Klitschko resoundingly, and retires. After that only the two brothers fighting eachother could save the class.
lewis has some big balls if he does this and if he beats vitali second time he beats criticts and then he can retire for good with no doubters left but really this should of been done ages ago but better late than never
ps IM EXCITED ;)
Agreed 100%Quote:

If you don't believe that, then I don't know what to tell you.
If Vitali had ever accomplished anything else in his career, he wouldn't constantly talk about Lennox Lewis.
I hope so. ;)

:coolclick: For the post and news! I wonder if one of the sanctioning bodies will give Lewis the 'Emeritus' title if this fight actually happens. ::**Quote:

Its a real shame that these promoters drag these old, washed up greats back into the ring with an extravagant payday.
even if lewis is only 1% of his old self thats still more than klitty...dont forget klits been out of action for a long time aswell....lewis will still ko his a$$Quote:

Lewis needs to stay retired. He win over Vitali is legit. He has noting to prove. Vitali is no where near a big enough name for Lewis to even consider coming back for. Beating him again will not add to his legacy.
I agree....it only adds to Vitali's legacy.Quote:

A cut that probably will never happen again in Vitali's career decided the first fight.
You overrate Tyson because you think he'd beat ANYONE up to and including Riddick Bowe, Evander Holyfield, and Lennox Lewis.
Lennox COULD beat Vitali again.....and Lennox COULD run for Prime Minister of Jamaica

According to news paper reports published in in the UK, Lennox Lewis was last night being linked with a boxing comeback at the age of 41.
The reports indicate that Lennox Lewis is reportedly tempted to make a comeback and would be facing his bitter rival Vitali Klitschko in London sometime later this year.
According to reports published in the UK news papers, Promoter Bob Arum was last night quoted as saying "Lennox has been discussing the prospect of a one-off, world title rematch with Klitschko. I am told Lennox is back in the gym. This is an enormous fight in the making.'
One publication, thisislondon.co.uk quotes Arum as saying: "Lennox has been discussing with his pals at HBO the prospect of a one-off world title re-match with Klitschko.
"No matter how often a boxer says he will never come back, the money always talks louder in the end if the offer is big enough. I am told Lennox is back in the gym and this is an enormous fight in the making."
This could be really REALLY bad for the game right now...no shit.
