This is a good question. Surely it can't have been Lewis's intention to simply allow Wlad to leach some of his name by publicly accepting fighting him for a 100mil. Lewis did his part, he went on record saying that he could be ready in six months and that he'd take the fight. There is no bigger fight out there for Wlad, neither financially wise nor legacy wise and yet not a single word has come from Wlad regarding this potential matchup. Only thing that has come from Wlads side is a statement from his manager basically saying that they're "Not interested". Wlad might as well give a public statement saying that he isn't as good as Lennox and that he never will be. That fellow would probably lose to a host of todays heavyweights anyway, who knows how he would do against, Arreola, Fury, Solis, Wilder, Chisora etc. He seems to be much more interested in fighting clowns like Povetkin, Pianeta and Mormeck. Shamefull just shamefull.
Lewis was just pulling their legs. even if they came up with 100 million $$$$ i cannot see him unretiring. But then again stranger things have happened. What if he beat wlad would he then rematch Vitali?
Even Jeffries came back for Johnson and Johnson let him. Johnson dropped his grudge against a colour line champion and fought him but Wlad can't drop his grudge against Lennox to give him a rematch?!
If serious, seek immediate help. Not a shrink - a physician. Tell them you require urgent care and have some foreign object lodged in your brain. They will need to rush you to X-ray to get a fix on the location of the lead mechanical pencil stick or whatever else snapped off after you rammed it up your nose.
ROFLMAO This is hilarious. Lennox was merely pulling your chains. Why would he need to come back? He beat every man he faced in the pro ring. He is a very wealthy man & a very wise one too. He retired HEALTHY with all his faculties intact at EXACTLY the right time. He'd already destroyed his so called nemesis Vitali Klitschko on 10 days notice while overweight & undertrained. What else was there to prove?? You didn't see Wlad campaigning " I want Lewis to get revenge for what he did to my brudder" Vitali demanded revenge for what a part time fighter/golfer Corrie Sanders did to Wlad didn't he? Wlad wanted no part of Lennox then , now or at any time he knew that big right hand would demolish him Only thing missing now is HRH Queen Elizabebeth II saying " Arise Sir Lennox"!!!
He was winding things up like he does every couple of years or so. I think his arse would fall through if the 100m offer materialised as there is no way he could beat wlad now
Imagine if Lewis came back and beat wladimir. It'd make the entire last decade of the heavyweight decision look like an unfunny joke.
I think Lewis would come t of retirement for a hundred million -who wouldn't. It'd be a joke fight though.
The first time Lennox big right hand connects with Wlad's glass jaw its over ROFL. Wlad saw what Lennox did to Vitali ,rearranging his face. didn't see any challenges from Wlad did ya??? Nahhhh he took to the hills
He said he would in a sky sports interview not too long ago...I dont think its going to happen and if it ever did, whilst I rate Lennox over Wlad and would've picked him to KO Wlad back in the day when he was fighting...I don't fancy his chances should this fight ever happen. Too many years of ring rust and the age factor....all goes against him. Nobody can turn the clock back. Wlad is a good champion, with a shaky chin but he's sharp and been active all these years when Lewis has done very little. Lewis is in ok shape these days as the sky interview noticed and commented on - Lewis said he's training and in shape..but would need 6 months to get back to fighting fit condition. I again say I don't think it would happen..but if ever it does (very unlikely) i'd have to think Wlad would stop Lewis now.
