    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.

    I think Lennox made around £100m from the sport but £25m could tempt him i hope doesn't as i have said loads of times but you couldn't blame him for £25m.

    Lewis won't come back for less than £50 million

    He said a few years ago he would have to get £40 million to come back

    I cant see it

    Lewis was one of my favourite fighters but i wouldnt wanna see him come back he has been out for to long.It shows how bad the division is trying to get the undisputed champ in LL to come back 5 years after he has retired.

    If he did come back which i cant see who would he get to train him Manny Stewart is with the Klitchos now!

    Do you knwo if this is one of the biggest purses ever ? I think Evander and Tyson had 30 million for their rematch .

    Lewis has got into shape recently and he always hints at a comeback but I duno if hes just playing with the journalists . I always thought he was too smart to comeback . But hes the type of guy that would only fight if he knew he could win . He doesnt need the money .

    Anyway he wont be going back on his word cuz he always said if the offer was big enough , he would comeback .

    For the record Lewis hasn't said a word recently,it was Don King who has simply said that a huge offer is their if he wants it!

    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.
