    Default if lennox lewis came out of retirement tommorow...

    How well exactly would he fare..

    Klitschkos a side i dont see a single fighter that would be able to live with even a completely shot lennox lewis. Theres no way in hell a prime haye/valuev/povetkin/arreola could take a 50% lennox lewis

    Could Wlad handle the fading power, obviously the klitschkos against lewis would be completely unarmed of their superior height and reach and neither would be able to dominate lewis behind the jab like they do everyone else.

    It was one of those questions spoke in a pub a few days ago. Even a fading lewis managed to stop a prime vitali in the 5th controversial or not.

    Would Wlad stand a chance against the power
    Could vitali expose the weaknesses he managed to expose in his prime
    would haye stand a single chance of perhaps catching lewis with a rahman esque knockout punch

    Yeah - I would have to agree, unless he has been training hard there is no way he comes back and has a significant impact. I guess there is always the chance he lands a KO punch.

    The Lewis era is over. Coming back would be a cruel mistake and he would get hurt.

    Lewis wasn't wupping Klitschko and it only got stopped because of a freakish injury. More than likely a returning Lewis gets bent over by either Klitschko and there's a good chance Haye hurts him as well. He's only 2 inches shorter. Briggs hurt a prime Lewis and Haye would do much better.

    I watched his fight with Klitschko fight again the other day. Now it seems shocking to watch someone slap klitscko around and make him look ordinary.

    Totally agree. Out far too long and way too old. It would be a bit sad.

    I would never condone lewis returning to a boxing ring and quite frankly it would probably make me feel ill.

    But just out of pure curiosity, if lennox lewis could return as half the man he once was would that still be enough to take the klitschkos and the rest.

    A prime lennox lewis wouldnt have a single problem taking out either brother, if you dont know that then you obviously dont know much of lennox lewis or heavyweight boxing. Im just wondering what with the division being in the state it is could half that fighter (lets say the very man who looked completely shot against vitali) return tommorow how exactly would he get on.

    He'd still be fat and still a below average boxing commentator.

    Lennox would not comeback for 100 million...He has too much class for that....

    As for the Vitaly exposing him in his prime....Lewis was past his prime and knew it that is why he retired so he did not end up a sad champion trying to hold on for a glory moment he exited the sport with grace...Wish more fighters did that...

    As for the rest of it...If This was Lennox via 200-2003 all names mentioned askide from the Klitschkos would have been retired by the Lion

    2000-2003 was the back 9 for Lewis. His prime, IMHO, was from the second McCall fight to the Tua fight. It was after the Tua fight that he lost his focus a little. The Vitali fight let Lewis know that he was done. Lennox knew what he would have done to Vitali at this best. Lewis from 1996-2000 wins a comfortable UD over Vitali and KO's Wlad. Haye might have gotten killed.

    his reflexes had gone the night he thought vitali, but his power was still there hence the reason he landed huge shots so often and busted his face up. Vitali was a mess after 5rounds, id be surprised as hell if a prime lewis doesnt knock vitali on his arse early doors during his prime days.

    Such a shame lewis didnt come along 5-6 years later as the heavyweight division would be in a hell of a lot better state than the mess its in now. Saying that he would of had the same problem vitali currently has where however good he looks he isnt in with any live competition
