    Fighting the belt holders today, I think he would win all the belts back, and then hand in the WBA because he no wanna fight John Ruiz. After April 3rd, he would win all the belts, except the WBA. Ruiz would crush Lewis.

    I really hope he does come back, so when he gets a big fight you crazy folk can drive up the odds on him to win, so I can bet against him and make a fortune.

    Give Lennox a quick 4 week camp and he beats 90% of the heavies out there, 45 and fat or not.

    K brothers and Haye would really be the only challenges.

    They couldnt even fill a super 6 Shotime tourney with that division! It's filled with stiffs.

    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

    ??
    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

    This whole "John Ruiz is God" gimmick is whack, fam. John Ruiz is a sub-par champion at best. Easily one of the worst heavyweight belt holders of all time. He would've never had a belt if it weren't for the multitude of BS sanctions.

    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
    one dangerous horrible bloke

    ....I would think it is more shocking to watch that fight and see someone actually COMPETE with a Klitschko. That hasn't been done....hell since Lamon Brewster's first fight with Wlad and that was more just Lamon being durable than anything else.

    Agreed he would have the same problem as the Klitschko brothers do now...Soo many bad opponents out there that no matter what they do they get little credit for...

    I have an idea!!!!!!

    How about the Brothers get some sort of Achievement title...They get a huge!!! Sum of money from all the sactioning bodies and promoters to retire.....

    At least if it is a bunch of slobs against each other it can be a bit more entertaining then the one sided Red headed step child beat downs these two administer bout after bout

    Thank you LU... someone needs to go back and clear up their memory.


    If Lewis really came back--Wlad first, then Vit 2nd. He's beat everyone he ever faced... he'll only need but 1-2 tune-ups (the rest of the division).

    And for the record... Lewis was supposed to fight Kirk Johnson and he pulled out 2 weeks before the fight. Ten days before the fight he was 'mandated' to fight Vitali or lose his last title (WBC)... how do you make the champ fight someone ten days out?

    So he had less than 2 weeks to change from a 6'2" boxer/puncher to a 6'8" puncher w a jab...
    As always, the picture is not as clear as we would like to think. Seems like he did a pretty good job, considering...

    Lewis was never a lumbering oaf!

    He is one of the most skilled heavyweights of all time....He had precisions accuracy when wanted....He hit like a sledge hammer....Took a good shot....was stopped twice in fights he under trained for and avenged both losses by stoppage....

    #1 There's no way in hell Lennox comes back and beats either Klitschko #2 Lennox may not have been a "lumbering oaf" but he most certainly was lazy in more than his fair share of fights
