    Lewis won't and doesn't need to take it. Silly offer.

    hell, for 50 million dollars? win or lose?....he'd be a dummy not to accept

    but i doubt he will....he doesn't seem like the type of guy who would, maybe he should try asking tyson or holyfield

    Lennox is a smart guy and he won't take that rematch. And he doesn't have to. He already holds a TKO victory over Vitali, a victory which is even more worth after last saturday. Seeing that Klitschko has not noticeably declined after his long lay-off, this fight would be much too risky for Lennox to take now, coming out of retirement after 6 years and at age 43 - it would be crazy. Vitali got his chance at Lennox when he was in his prime, he couldn't use it even tho he gave a good showing as long as it lasted - and that's just it, period.

    a win over a 43 year old lennox lewis who hasn't fought in over 5 years would mean absolutely nothing. zilch. move on.

    Fighting Weight fears this match. If Lewis balks at 25M, he will have run away from Vitlai twice.

    Out of curiosity when was the last time Lewis actually made that statement?

    6 years ago there was a case for a rematch but now Lewis is way past being an active fighter. Look at his condition - it's not even as though he's been keeping himself in decent shape. Id be appalled if Lennox took the fight now.

    lennox lewis is an inactive, fat old man who looked like **** in his last bout but still done enough to beat vitali. if you consider that a duck then it says more about you than it does about lewis.

    Lewis was offered alot of money before and he didn't take it. The first fight he was losing and so so glad that it was stopped because of the cut. Vitali stayed in shape, in at least training for fights when he got those injuries. 6 years with absolutely no training at all, it would be so hard to just start up training again, he would get pummeled in a rematch.

    He's too old, he was a top fighter in his time. Apparently he hasn't squandered his money. Let him retire in peace.

    BTW, how much is $25 million pounds in relation to dollars?
