    He was up on the cards when the fight was stopped on a cut.

    Naaa it's all talk, Lennox will never get himself in to a shape good enough to box again. He's chillin out, he's not going to risk getting back in with anyone.. Especially Tyson, God knows what could happen Lol.

    I'm aware. I've been following the sport for almost 20 years now. I know how prevelent PED abuse it.

    No, you missed my point entirely.
    I want to see how far a retired boxer can turn back the clock with chemical enhancement.

    A few more rounds and it would have been stopped anyway. That cut was getting worse and Lewis was targetting it more and more frequently.

    Tyson looked great for his age...and Lewis doesn't look like he's seen a gym in years

    Ran away from an ordered and promised rematch.

    Yeah course he did. He retired at the top, doesn’t matter how good you are if the hungers gone and your time is up that’s it.

    Fact is an old, unmotivated and overweight Lewis beat Vitali on his best night. Had the fight not been stopped when it was Vitali may have never fought again.

    Nope not happening, he always teases people with a comeback, with a comment that can be construed as him coming back but in reality it never happens. Unless he says 100% he's coming back it's just him fishing for some media attention.

    He retired day before stripping because he was too chicken to rematch. Lewis was losing the fight until he started to hit and hold with dirty boxing illegal tactics to open up the cut. It was at best an nc and possibly a td for Vitali given he was 4-2 on all three cards.

    there's no way that Lewis would go to the lengths that Tyson has done to get into shape, not least because he doesn't need to, still being relatively wealthy.

    if he hypothetically could then he'd beat Tyson even more easily than in their first fight. his key attributes over Tyson (height, weight) are far more durable than Tyson's (speed), as is his style, jab and grab, over peekaboo (to the limited extent that Tyson was capable of fighting in that style even in 2002).

    If Lennox was ever coming back he'd have done it long ago LOL Heck Violet would kick his ass if he did it now. He's just kidding

    Lewis wouldn't even need to be in shape, easy win.
