    this is why the heavyweight division is what it is, why try and get Lewis out of retirement instead of giving a prospect a title fight

    Lewis surely has enough money, think he should say thanks but no thanks.

    Why give Vitali the pleasure of defeating you as an old man when in years to come you will be talked about on a whole diffrent level to him, and rightly so because you were.

    King hates the Klitschkos so much that he would pay anything to get somebody good to fight them...

    No Lewis please stay retired.

    Lewis had nothing to prove and is an intelligent man who has enough money.

    Enjoy your life Lennox and thank you for the great fights!:good

    Lennox wouldnt rematch him 5 years ago for 20+ million. its ****ing stupid to even ask him to come back. Hes in his 40s hes retired.

    Maybe after DLH fights little Pac, King can negotiate for SRL-DLH

    It would take LLewis 8 months to get ready for Vit K.

    Most definitely a tune up 1st, so that would be in 4 months. Then another 4 more till the big showdown.

    I don't think LL will do it. Although, I'd love to see him give it a try. With a ton of work, he could beat VK. But thats alot of preparation & hard work. He looks too big now to ever see 250 lbs again.

    Never happen. Not for $100 mil.

    I'm betting at this point Lewis is telling King to :asskiss his big black ass.
