let the man enjoy his money and family. It has been too long now he would end up like James J Jeffries if he came back now.
True, I actually think Lennox got more fans after he had retired, because people thought, hold on a minute, Lennox Lewis...wasn't he awsome?!
Sad to say it, but his best years are behind him. He has nothing left to prove (despite what some may claim). He beat everyone that was willing to fight him -- his last fight was a win, it's been years -- stay retired.
Lennox isn't coming back anyways and that's the obvious truth... He knew he was done fighting along time ago, and Lennox Lewis saying he'd fight for a $100,000,000 purse is just Lennox being Lennox. He's said that kinda stuff before... If Lennox had of been a hungry Lennox Lewis before he retired, and hung around the Heavweight Division as that kind of devestating fighter for a while longer; then yes that would have helped Boxing, especially at Heavyweight... But he did the right thing (and the smart thing), and Lennox moved on his with Boxing career outside of the Ring... Look at all the fun he had on Celebrity Apprentice as well. He has many options outside the Ring these days, and it's not like he never made any money as a Champion either... That's one clever former Heavyweight Champion of the World in my opinion, and an All Time Great... No Doubt
Maybe not GOAT but definately a top 10 ATG....and yeah I think he should stay retired...and I really think he will.
He was needed a few years back but not now. The moment has well and truely passed. The division has got a little bit of spark back just now and i would rather watch Haye attempt to be top dog than see Lewis fighting on only fighting for money. Would be pretty decent to see him whoop VK tho,still cant believe the amount of stick he got for WINNING the first fight. Vitali acted like a complete **** at the end of that fight. That being said he's slowly won me over(tho it took years),the guy is a gent no doubt.
Vitali knows that he has no real legacy and a loss on his resume to Lewis already, that is what Vitali knows. Why the **** he is calling out a guy who past his best when he retired 5 years ago, I will never know. It is comprable to Valuev deciding to fight Holyfield, ****ing ridiculous.
Yes he's finished, at 43, and he looks close to 3 bills, and hasn't fought in A VERY LONG TIME:deal since he KO'D Vitaly it's safe to assume we will never see LL in a boxing ring again, unless it's as a trainer...
