Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"
LENNOX LEWIS: "TONY THOMPSON IS MY BOTHA OR MICHAEL GRANT FIGHT!"
OUCH! Lennox Lewis just dumped on Klitschko with that comment. Man, I wish he would just unretire. He actually hints about a comeback in that interview, but I think he was just joking.

Lewis could be champ, HW are crap
Re: Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"
Lol. One part of me wants Lennox to come back and stomp some a##; the other part doesn't see the reasoning behind a comeback, as it would be very short lived and the mess will just reorganize itself{assuming he is even on par to make a dent} after he leaves again. I sure don't want to see him comeback and get sparked by some nobody. I bet he could still kick Wlads a## though.

I wonder who Steward would train? Maybe he could train both and compete against himself. Imagine him running across the ring to give both boxers advice...I definitely went way over my head on this one...

;D That would be funny. Somehow I get the feeling Steward would stick with Wad.
Re: Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"
Oooops, I meant to saw Wlad:p
Re: Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"
You were right the first time.
Re: Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"
Mighty big talk for a guy who NEVER fought a southpaw much less one who was as big as him.

Mighty big talk? Lewis was selling himself short.
Thompson would not have been good enough to share a ring with Lewis in his pomp. And would have almost certainly lasted no longer than three.

I'm sure if Emmanuel could get paid a commission by both, then he'd be all for it!
Re: Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"
Luckily for Klitchko this fight will never happen. Lennox-Wlad would be a snuff film.
Re: Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"
Why would Lewis talk guff if there was not at least a small possibility?If he's willing to come back in action thats one thing but if not then,sorta empty ??
Re: Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"
....I would venture to say Lennox wishes to make himself and his career look better.
Re: Lennox Lewis: "Tony Thompson is my Botha or Michael Grant"
I think you people who think Lewis would become champ again are delusional. Lewis looked slower and past his prime in his last fight against Vitali... and that was over 5 years ago! We're talking about a 43 year old man who's been out of the ring for 5 years, and you people expect him to whip a young stud like Wlad? Not on your life.
Lewis was IMO one of the greatest HWs to ever live, but at this age and given the inactivity, I don't see him being a factor in the HW division. I think Wlad, Peter and a few others would eat him up.
