I sure don't want to see him comeback and get sparked by some nobody. I bet he could still kick Wlads a## though.
    I wonder who Steward would train? Maybe he could train both and compete against himself. Imagine him running across the ring to give both boxers advice...I definitely went way over my head on this one...
    That would be funny. Somehow I get the feeling Steward would stick with Wad.
    I'm sure if Emmanuel could get paid a commission by both, then he'd be all for it!

    Luckily for Klitchko this fight will never happen. Lennox-Wlad would be a snuff film.

    Why would Lewis talk guff if there was not at least a small possibility?If he's willing to come back in action thats one thing but if not then,sorta empty ??

    ....I would venture to say Lennox wishes to make himself and his career look better.

    I think you people who think Lewis would become champ again are delusional. Lewis looked slower and past his prime in his last fight against Vitali... and that was over 5 years ago! We're talking about a 43 year old man who's been out of the ring for 5 years, and you people expect him to whip a young stud like Wlad? Not on your life.

    Lewis was IMO one of the greatest HWs to ever live, but at this age and given the inactivity, I don't see him being a factor in the HW division. I think Wlad, Peter and a few others would eat him up.

    Lewis is and always was full of himself and shiit

    At least Thompson was undefeated, Botha had been stopped by Moorer and pole axed by Tyson with one punch before Lewis took him on as a safe opponent for his London showcase.

    Grant was undefeated but Lewis fought like a man shiiting himself, big windmill punches, falling in, it was very messy, Lewis happened to be a good heavyweight among mediocre and does alot alot more credit than he earned, he steared well clear of Byrd and only retired because Mike Tyson couldnt be bothered to string a couple of wins together to create interest in a rematch, much like Mayweather and De La Hoya.

    It had a little to do with being battered by Vitali but if Mike had put a couple of interesting wins together we would have seen a rematch for sure.

    Possibly - but his resume beats that of the currently active HW division.

    Collectively.
