You're reading too much into it man. This is how BS rumors get started.. the man was just ****ing around.
That was very much a tongue in cheek moment. The man was just inducted into the boxing hall of fame for goodness sakes. Lennox Lewis is retired.
I like Vitali, but I have said it before and say it again, if Lennox came back at any age, it would still be a great fight and the big Brit would still have a great chance.
i watched the same interview and in no way did i think he was "messing with us" he is 44 years old.....and hasnt fought in 6 years.
Great interview. Lennox makes a joke nothing more. Lennox is enjoying his life! He is in the HOF and has nothing to proof.
And the Klits don't need his middleaged ass to kick around. Lewis punked out of the rematch against Vitali when he finally met a bigger, tougher, stronger version of himself. The Gods were on his side in that fight when Vits eye was torn up. Lewis is indeed smart and ran from the rematch and inevitable beatdown from the iron-chinned Vitali Klitschko. Stick to bad commentating Lennox and leave the fighting to the the youngbloods from eastern Europe. Hell, the youngster Boystov would probably whip Lewis's old ass, nowadays.
I don't for a minute believe that Lennox would come back, However, I can see the possibility of a fighter waiting until they are inducted into the HOF before they come back - just to make sure.
lennox is done, he just did that to get the viewers jazzed up....and looks like it work, since were talking about it
