if lennox lewis came out of retirement tommorow...

Been gone too long - old and fat - and would get beaten (even by Haye)

Yeah - I would have to agree, unless he has been training hard there is no way he comes back and has a significant impact. I guess there is always the chance he lands a KO punch.

[Nameless]

The Lewis era is over. Coming back would be a cruel mistake and he would get hurt.

[Zilla]

Lewis wasn't wupping Klitschko and it only got stopped because of a freakish injury. More than likely a returning Lewis gets bent over by either Klitschko and there's a good chance Haye hurts him as well. He's only 2 inches shorter. Briggs hurt a prime Lewis and Haye would do much better.

[Lance Uppercut]

I watched his fight with Klitschko fight again the other day. Now it seems shocking to watch someone slap klitscko around and make him look ordinary.

Lewis could beat most heavies accept the top tier until he get some conditioning and then he may stand a good chances against Wlad.

....I would think it is more shocking to watch that fight and see someone actually COMPETE with a Klitschko. That hasn't been done....hell since Lamon Brewster's first fight with Wlad and that was more just Lamon being durable than anything else.

Thank you LU... someone needs to go back and clear up their memory.


If Lewis really came back--Wlad first, then Vit 2nd. He's beat everyone he ever faced... he'll only need but 1-2 tune-ups (the rest of the division).

And for the record... Lewis was supposed to fight Kirk Johnson and he pulled out 2 weeks before the fight. Ten days before the fight he was 'mandated' to fight Vitali or lose his last title (WBC)... how do you make the champ fight someone ten days out?

So he had less than 2 weeks to change from a 6'2" boxer/puncher to a 6'8" puncher w a jab...
As always, the picture is not as clear as we would like to think. Seems like he did a pretty good job, considering...

Totally agree. Out far too long and way too old. It would be a bit sad.
