    Lennox iss 44 years old, it's now or never. But if he comes back he has to be 100% with no excuses.

    Lewis could have stripped off his suit and walked in from the crowd and beaten most of the recent challengers to Wlad and Vitaly.

    He'd still be top 10, but that's about it.

    I doubt he'd beat either Wlad or Vitaly at that age unless he got very lucky.

    It would require following the Foreman blueprint of pacing himself (his knees apparently are ****ed, so he'd never be in great shape), defending, and taking the opportunities that come with his right hand.

    Still, he'd beat Arreola tomorrow if that was Arreolas best ever performance.
