Haye may get a pasting but I think he has great ambition, more heavies like Haye needed.
#1 Uh huh and who gave him the feeling it was time to retire? And Daxx inspite of the "TKO" Lewis gave to Vitali after that fight in my opinion Lennox never had a chance to prove himself MORE than by giving a rematch and TRULY winning the fight.....that cut was a fluke and Lennox is damned lucky it went down the way it did #1 Lennox was losing #2 Lennox shot his load in the final round and Vitali was still standing


#2 EVERYBODY is in boxing to be the best, NOBODY would turn down a fight with Wlad or Vitali (bar anyone going for the less respected WBA belt)....it means big time money and the chance at achieving the highest goal in heavyweight boxing. Just because Haye WANTS the fight doesn't mean much to me....let's see how much he wants the fight after the bell rings!
To me it looked like Lennox was starting to figure him out, and that it was Vitali who had shot his bolt. I know he was losing but it seemed like he was starting to turn the fight around to me. I think Lewis proved himself enough throughout the rest of his career to not need to fight Vitali again. Personally I can't ever blame him for retiring, I'm not the one in the ring so I don't feel I have the right to say when a fighter retires, he clearly just realized the end was coming & better to go of your own choice than be pushed
