$100 million That's a hell of a big payday.What's the chances someone will take him up on this? If he does come back who will he fight first Vitali or Wlad? Anyway I hope it happens.
Former champion Lewis would return for $100m payday | Sports | Reuters
LOL...Lennox is geting tired of being harassed...They should just leave him alone...the man is retired let him be for christ sakes

At least Lennox won't weigh 300 pounds...he'll be close but he won't be as close as Bowe who would weight like 280 in a comeback fight or Briggs who would weigh closer to 400.
So Lewis was just quizzed about a rematch with Vitali:
"I think he should fight his brother first and then I'll think about fighting him"
classic lol
' he should fight his brother first before I think about coming back '
haha well said Lenny
Part of me has wondered and frankly wanted it for a while.Lewis is one guy Ive done a complete 180 on,Early on he was "boring,chinny,clumsy (true ;D) but he had belief in that power and huge confidence.Now though....he would have to do it right,seems to have stayed in shape but it would have to be because he has the hunger and not for money.Shite....Hopkins,Vitali pulling off the return in dominate fashion ? Who knows,certainly would liven things up but I do not see it coming off.Lewis is a very deep calculative and smart fella.Quote:

Bowe on the other hand,dear god :rolleyes:.Just sad.Last I heard of he was slated to be on Wlad/Rahman undercard.....this time we are suppose to believe it.What a shame!Suddenly Holyfield looks like he is very viable...ugh.
$100,000,000 can be done...
...in a 20 fight payment plan...
...and that's if he's lucky!!
If Wlad or Vitali was able to consolidate all the belts then it would make sense but right now Lennox should just stay out of harm's way. Vitali and/or Wladimir COULD hurt him badly and everyone knows this. Sure people will heavily favor Lennox but didn't people also heavily favor Tyson when he fought Lennox????
Time stands still for no man!
i have to agreeQuote:

i really hope he doesnt come back ,
I know how you feel. It would be a tragedy to see all the Klitschko fans top themselves in a sad moment of desperation, trying to get over the pain of seeing Lennox Lewis crush the brothers. We don't want to loose Lyle.Quote:

he defo should not comeback, it wont make any difference to his legacy if he beat both klitshko's anyway, he has done it all. he has already beaten vitali & anyone with half a brain would of known lewis would of KO'd wlad easy.
He doesn't have to come back for sure, but that article sounds convincing if it is legit. He's saying 100m just as start of the bargaIning, he'd probably do it for half that, which is possible.
I doubt he would come back. Yes, Vitali gave him a hell of a scare and might have won, if Lewis hadnt had the audacity to punch him so hard that he tore the skin around his eyes to shreds.
Vitali had his chance, fought well but in the end he wasnt good enough. Nothing else to it.
Zero.Quote:

You have to read between the lines in what Lewis has said. Bt saying he'd consider a comeback £100M what he's really saying is that he's NOT coming back.
He would have nothing to gain by fighting again apart from money which he does not need.
If Klitschko is calling him out again quite frankly he should be embarassed. He lost to Lewis and if he thinks he can some how redeem that by fighting a 43 year old Lewis who has been retired for years he's deluding himself.
It says something about the poor state of the heavy division that people want Lewis to come back. I would hate to see him make a come back much the way I hare the fact that Holyfield is still fighting. They have had their day and are risking the reputation of the sport as well as their health.
Lewis is too smart to even consider fighting again - end of story.

I did start the sentence saying IF Vitali was calling him out. He has done on previous occassions unless I'm mistaken ?Quote:

I would suggest that Lewis is not responsible for this story - in fact he's quite happy in retiremenet. He is responding to the press who continually hound him about a comeback which he clearly is not interested in.
I would be dissapointed in anyone who would like to see a 43 year old Lewis who has been retired for 6 years fighting again.
Leave the guy alone already :rolleyes:
