    No. Lewis was not a coward. He was smart and a realist.

    Let's say Lennox DID continue boxing, who would have finally ended his title reign?

    Lewis knew when to retire, he would've lost any rematch with Vitali and knew that too. His time was up.

    @El Kabong I think guys like Valuev or prime Haye would outhustle him as he approached 39 or 40 years old.

    Valuev wasn't "out hustling" anyone neither was Haye

    Unlike most fighters, Lewis retired at exactly the right time. Vitali gave him hell, he heeded the warning and walked away with a win in his last fight and as a champion.

    Look at someone like Tyson. Should have retired or been banned for life after the second Holyfield fight, but he fought on as a shadow of his former self for the money and ended up taking an embarrassing beating from Lewis and losing to mediocre fighters after that.

    Don't even get me started on Holyfield!

    Its a shame that to this day vitalis greatest performance was his loss against lennox..

    In a way, i wish vitali was around the mix during prime tyson etc.

    Imagine a prime oliver mccall and prime vitali going at it!

    ..... A "prime" Valuev couldn't outhustle Lennox Lewis today!

    If Lennox had rematched Vitali I'd imagine both would be better prepared and it could have been quite different, who's to say? Maybe Lewis knew he couldn't get back to his best form, felt fortunate to have gotten the win and had some personal reasons to retire. To imply he's a coward for that is pretty much nuts.
