    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.

    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.

    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
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

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

    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.

    If Lennox was going to comeback he would have done it.

    Im sure he had similar offers while Wlad was ko`ing everyone.

    43yo no fight in 4yrs common its not like he is in Joe Louis position.

    You make a fair point about their previous fight. But i can't see why you, and the others are all saying i think this will happen, i think lennox will get seriously hurt or vitali will get beat...

    NO ONE knows what lennox is like know FACT. We have seen Vitali, but there is no one of knowing what speed, stamina agility etc he has. unless u see some good recent sparring vids or a fight you can not call a fight.

    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.

    I won't disagree that if Vitali was not cut he would of had a better chance but he did get his face so badly cut he could not continue. Lewis won fair and square. Vitali got respect from me in that fight for wanting to carry on I must add.

    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

    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.

    I don't think he will do it for any money, he retired at the right time and he appears to be content with his riches and enjoying a well earned happy retirement.

    I must say though, I'd personally prefer to see him in the ring than sat outside beside Jim and Larry with a headset on........but there you go
