Don King set to offer Lewis £25 MILLION to face Vitali

[Fenster]

I honestly don't understand why people want a fighter LIGHT-YEARS past his best coming out of retirement?

Lewis retired undisputed champ. He beat everyone he faced. He finished healthy and loaded. That is a GREAT boxing success story.

The only people that say Vitali retired Lewis are the idiots that want Lewis back to see him LOSE.

Vitali should just let it rest and be man enough to say i lost to the best heavyweight in the world.Why does he want to fight a 43 year old Lewis that has been retired for 5 years?

To be fair, I don't think Vitali even mentioned Lewis this time, it's the usual "Lennox out of retirmenT" story that follows every heavyweight fight.

Vitali said he wants Valuev.

[El Kabong]

I would rather Vitali fight Valuev at this point....#1 it would be the two biggest guys fighting for the championship in the history of boxing and #2 Lewis has been out of boxing a lot longer than Vitali and it would bring more confusion to the division if Lewis was able to win because what would he do after that He could fight Wlad but I doubt that would happen. And who would Manny train


Vitali-Valuev....I want to see Valuev knocked the funk out!!!!!

Lewis is real smart and has more money than he could ever need.

No chance of a comeback.

[Mark TKO]

the size of this offer worries me...Lewis could come back for this amount

not sure how much money he has but this is serious dough, and as said before when does the 'fuck the legacy' attitude hit home with Lennox

he has kids now right ?? that chunk alone would set one up for life

if he did come back I think Klitschko would humiliate him, maybe not KO him but we could see him retiring on his stool or something like that - not the way you want your last memory to be (still pains me when I think about how Benn went out) but for 25 million.......


am seriously worried this fight could actually happen

[Tysonbruno]

I wouldn't blame Lennox for coming back for £25m and i think he could beat Vitali i think he would stop him.

[Tysonbruno]

Yes Lennox struggled a bit last time with Vitali but lets not forget Lennox took the fight with Vitali at a weeks notice he was training to fight Kirk Johnson who pulled out with a chest injury. Vitali was going to fight on the undercard he was number 1 contender for the WBC and Lennox decided to fight him had Lennox been training to fight Vitali he would have handled him a lot easier.

Lewis got lucky the first fight. Vitali was kicking his ass before the eye got cut in the 3rd round. Lewis won on a technicality, he was losing the fight. If Vitali didn't get cut i'm damn sure he would have blown out lewis in 12.

[DaxxKahn]

It is just to create some hype...There are no real fights out there for Vitaly that would create interest...The Valuev fight would be more of a freak show.......The Peter fight was the biggest draw there was for him....

Lennox is not coming back no reason to..nothing to prove and he certainly does not need the money

[toogood4u]

isnt 25 million euro like 23 million dollars or sumthing

[WelshDevilRob]

Lennox said before that he was offered more than that for a fight about 2 years ago and said he's not interested. He's got a family now and is financially secure and has a regular job with HBO.

He beat Klitschko when he was 38 and in the worst shape of his career - he has nothing to prove.
