    I bet he could beat Haye. Other than that I am not sure what he would do. Lennox was a very intelligent fighter though so who knows?

    :lol: I wasn't taking a shot at Lennox, I was just curious what he was weighing in these days so that I could get a rough idea of how long it would take him to get back into fighting shape for this hypothetical comeback. And yes, I am a huge Bowe fan, but I am just as big a Lewis fan as well.

    If Lewis comes out the retirement now Vitali will send him back there once again.

    I think he could easily do what Foreman did.

    Foreman fought a lot of not real good fighters, and some contenders. People tend to forget Foreman lost a few fights second time around, and got the benefit of some good decisions at times. He got a gift over Axel Shultz - but got jobbed against Briggs IMO.

    So, could Lewis come back, beat a few contender guys, lose a couple of fights, and KO an over confident former light heavyweight, while way behind on points? Yeah, I think so.

    That may sound very harsh, Foreman winning the belt was incredibly impressive when it happened - but he didn't come back and steam roll everybody and finish undefeated.

    He would do well.If in top shape only the brothers would be a problem from the current crop of heavyweights.

    Haye would run away and retire...in saying that Lennox would not get to a Klit defeating level again, but beat everyone else

    I think if he really put in a lot of work, he could beat everyone except the Klitschkos. He'd knock Haye out even at his age now.

    Foreman was fighting on regular basis for over 7 years before he won back the title. Foreman was around 38 at the time of his comeback.

    Lewis coming out retirement at 45, and not having fought in 7 years, is a totally different story.

    If Lewis were to come back he would become at least the British #1 again. That's not too hard I know, but it would probably mean big money fights, but he's not going to come back.

    So if he did come back and beat Haye, as well as a few top contenders before retiring again... would it enhance his legacy in your eyes anymore than already?

    From pictures I have seen of him this year he has definitely put some weight on but doesn't look any worse than some contenders now between fights. I would be surprised if he weighs more than 280lbs.
