    I agree. I found that answer to be evasive too. A promise means something like: "no matter what happends I will...". Lewis's answer sounded more like a possiblity rather then a certain thing.

    Emanuel Steward, in fact, just touched on this very subject in a recently published interview.

    **********

    I would say other than that, the fights where he realized he was losing and he made an adjustment. You know the fights with Vitali, which clearly he was losing. And I will be with Vitali and Wladimir and we will be together, and some people will ask, “Mr. Steward, who would have won if that fight had of continued with Vitali and Lennox?”

    I said, “Lennox was going to win that fight”.

    “Well, you know, Vitali was ahead”.

    I said, “Ahead is one thing, but he had six rounds to go! In a heavyweight fight, and one fighter’s whole face is torn apart?”

    I mean it’s ridiculous. There is no way he was going to win that. Lennox had been in those situations before and then came back.
