[THE PHILOSOPHER]

I stated Lewis considered retirement prior to the Vitali fight. Which is a 100% proven fact. You said this was nonsense and produced a quote from Manny Steward talking about Roy Jones in 2003.

Saying he may think about retiring and actually doing it are 2 different things! Please post me the link in which lewis stated just before the VK fight that this would be his last ever fight! I never really heard much talk of lewis retiring in 03. The guy was linear champ and had just fought the mega fight with tyson.

It certainly wasn't an immediate retirement he was pondering and by the talk of he and his team he was on for another couple of years! By march 2003 there were 2 fights he and his team had in the pipeline! Tyson and Jones! Add the mandatory Kirk Johnson which he was scheduled to fight and that 3! Up steps VK on 11 days notice following Johnson pulling out and exit LL!

That was before that signed tyson rematch and before a Jones fight that manny and he were chasing! LL then goes onto promise a rematch in the ring due to the manner of the fight and crowd reaction so that's 3 fights in LL's immediate future by he & his teams own admission. Four in total that post date your link. That is not the talk of a retiring fighter. Four fights post dating your link!

I couldn't careless about your personal opinion of Lewis. What happened after the Vitali fight is irrelevant

It is the entire crux of the matter.

Why was he whining about tyson not rematching after a one sided first encounter yet agrees to give VK a rematch and doesn't? If he was seriously considering retirement why would manny be making statements like the Jones one? He wasn't retiring was he because he was fighting Johson a few months after your link? And i cant see him bowing out after a Kirk Johnson fight!! Your link stated he wanted the fights he could get up for! Well considering VK was hustling him on 11 days notice in a barn burner and in which he won on cuts (and let me add...looked very sheepish in the post fight interview after using the back of his gloves to aggravate the cut LOL) VK was the very fighter Lewis was whining about that he needed! The WBC then put him on the spot after months of lewis prevaricating with talk like ' I will bust him up' ' I will give him a rematch' etc and he retires rather than lose belt #2 favouring a tyson rematch! All very dodgy...

In the Lewis-Tyson post fight interview Lewis stated "I'm like fine wine, I get better with age"

In an interview right before the Vitali fight, Lewis said "I'm at the peak of my powers, I will keep fighting for many more years"

Anyway ive had my say and proved my point.
