    lennox isnt stupid enough to take a fight at his age, un-fortunatly evander is.

    i hope he finds a weak champion cause one of the more elite guys will brutalise him.

    Lennox is too happy outside the ring. Contrary to Holyfield, he knew when to call it quits.

    If Lewis actually trained and came in shape he would dominate and stop him.

    Lewis can walk from the broadcasting booth into the ring and beat every heavy except the Klits. He would have to train and come in shape at this age to beat both of them.

    Lewis isn´t coming back, but for the sake of starpower and nostalgia, it would be fun to have Holyfield vs. Briggs or McCall.

    Hell, Holyfield could even have an easy tuneup "celebrity" fight, KOing Ray Mercer or Michael Moorer.

    Lewis ain't coming back. Plus, Evander wouldn't want to fight him anyway. Holyfield is after a title. And since there are 4 of them floating around there's likely a chance he'll get a chance to fight for one.

    Lennox would only come back for 50 million and a fight with Vitali Klitschko.

    If Lennox thought he could have beaten Vitali four years ago, he would not have retired. He's four years older and inactive and 42, years old. No amount of training would make him a top 6 right now.


    Re: Holyfield, Lennox drubbed him rather badly, twice already (He beat him much worse the first time than the second, despite the scores).

    With a weeks training, he could clobber Holy again.

    Lennox was the best of his era and a top 5 alltime great HWt, something no-one in the present group is likely to achieve.

    He's comfortably set financially, has his wits and brain cells, has his legacy.

    Why would he agree to become an embarrassment (like some other fools) at this stage in his life?
