    Not now mate. He's old and slow and has no hunger. A fighter with nothing to prove and no desire aint gonna do anything.

    Agreed his mind would say "why bother?" and his body would say "I am too old for this".
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    The man is one of the smartest boxers I've ever seen - he got out when he was ready and didn't give in to the temptation to make a comeback. I'd agree he's been out of the game too long to be competitive now.

    i agree wth all of you---its no doubt too late for sure, but still think if he went thru the 13 week training and got down to 250, with his huge reach and powerful jab/overhand right he could smoke the JOKES.

    It wouldn't matter mate, he'd still batter those lot trust me. Especially a blown up Cruiserweight's like Adamek. Plus he'd have big reach and height advantages over all of those guys. Not that i want him to comeback im just saying.

    I think the best way to assess this question is to ask how you think Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield would do against the current top 10.

    If you think they wouldn't be able to compete then ask yourselves why you think Lennox, who hasn't been in a ring for almost a decade is somehow less prone to ageing than those guys?

    He ain't coming back, and if he did he wouldn't be Lennox Lewis anymore.

    Look at Tua, Holyfield, Morrison, Mercer, Rahman etc.

    Evander Holyfield did arguably beat Nikolai Valuev though

    Valuev was a beltholder, but he was never really top 10.

    I do agrre Evander did enough, in a fucking awful fight.

    But right now Evander isn't top 40 imo. His last few fights have been embarrssing. Did you see his fight where he was getting his head boxed off a couple fights ago to some bum and then made out he couldn't see out of his cut eye to get a no contest. Sad.
