    Lennox has always left it open but never had an offer worthy enough.

    5yrs is too long i doubt he will come back. Would be intresting if someone offered him $30mill.

    I really dont think Lewis will come back. He has always seemed far too sensible for that kind of nonsense.

    I wouldn't rule it out,Lennox has been pretty porky the last few years and a happily settled multi millionare,so why the sudden shift back into shape?
    Haye getting all the headlines.."The new Heavyweight hope" when Lennox probably feels he is still a better fighter?
    The burning desire to prove beyond ANY doubt that he did beat Vitali hands down?

    Can't see it happening but if it did,can anyone see him being anywhere near good enough to challenge after so long out of the game.

    Many fighters have fallen into this trap in the past, including many who you think would know better. Even 5 years older I reckon if Lewis got himself in great shape he could still possibly beat the guys out there now.

    I'd definitely be up at the crazy hours watching him try, but i think it would be best for everyone if he let it go, he has absolutley nothing to prove and he would set a fine example to all current/future champs that it is possible resist the big money comeback. Boxing is definitely not a sport that needs a seniors tour.

    Lennox seems like one of those rare fighters who is actually content in retirement. I think he accomplished what he wanted to and was smart enough to realize it was time to retire while he still had the title and good health.

    I seriously doubt he ever comes back.

    If this means broke and about to have his house repossessed...then I agree. Nothing to gain but money in doing so...at the expense of possibly tarnishing a brilliant career.

    If he comes back it should be cause he wants to be the best again and not money motivated.

    I think he would be still good enough to win a belt if he got his self in shape and was motivated.

    But does Lewis really want to go into a training camp for 12weeks just to prove he can still whip the younger champions out there and there is a big problem Manny Steward trains the Klitschos now so who would he have as a trainer?

    Lewis has continually said in interviews that he is definately retired and is content with that. He really doesnt have the kinds of regrets old fighters have when they make that silly comeback, he's resolved all his losses and the Klitschko fight he won - his god damn face was falling off, he'd look like skeletor if they let it go on. Sure if the $$$$ was stupid he might but Lewis has no other reason to fight again. He has nothing to prove, he doesn't need money and has no losses to avenge, why would he??

    One more round and Lewis would have been KO'd by Vitali
