if lennox lewis came out of retirement tommorow...

[HattonTheHammer]

I would never condone lewis returning to a boxing ring and quite frankly it would probably make me feel ill.

But just out of pure curiosity, if lennox lewis could return as half the man he once was would that still be enough to take the klitschkos and the rest.

A prime lennox lewis wouldnt have a single problem taking out either brother, if you dont know that then you obviously dont know much of lennox lewis or heavyweight boxing. Im just wondering what with the division being in the state it is could half that fighter (lets say the very man who looked completely shot against vitali) return tommorow how exactly would he get on.

He's been living large too long!

[jdonaher1]

He'd still be fat and still a below average boxing commentator.

[johnsebastianmiran]

Amen bro.

...he'd wake up on saturday and think, what a stupid dream. lennox is right where he should be.

I think a lot of you guys are either grossly over estimating Lewis' abilities at this point in his life, or are grossly underestimating the HW division.

Lewis comes back and he gets killed by anyone in the top 20 IMO. He's 45 years old and he hasn't fought in 7 years. And he was SHOT in that last fight, 7 years ago. What the hell do you expect of him now?

Fighting the belt holders today, I think he would win all the belts back, and then hand in the WBA because he no wanna fight John Ruiz. After April 3rd, he would win all the belts, except the WBA. Ruiz would crush Lewis.

I really hope he does come back, so when he gets a big fight you crazy folk can drive up the odds on him to win, so I can bet against him and make a fortune.

This whole "John Ruiz is God" gimmick is whack, fam. John Ruiz is a sub-par champion at best. Easily one of the worst heavyweight belt holders of all time. He would've never had a belt if it weren't for the multitude of BS sanctions.

He would still be a lumbering oaf!

He would still be a lumbering oaf!

Lewis was never a lumbering oaf!

He is one of the most skilled heavyweights of all time....He had precisions accuracy when wanted....He hit like a sledge hammer....Took a good shot....was stopped twice in fights he under trained for and avenged both losses by stoppage....

He had lost his footspeed toward the end, but he moved very will in his prime. He's wasn't Ali, but he used his feet and upper body movement to both to avoid punches and create angles for himself. When he got tagged, it was because he overestimated his ability to avoid punches and dropped his hands. He got sloppy and arrogant.

Watch Morrison fight and compare his movements then to his movement in the Vitali fight.
