    Lennox was always a better fighter than both Klits and that's not saying it in a way to disrespect the Klits because there is no shame in that. Not many HW's are considered greater than Lennox. Having said that, no. Lennox was great during his time, but he would most likely lose to the Klits who are some of today's most disciplined fighters in the world and Lennox even in his prime was abit inconsistent. Prime for prime Lewis is better, but he would get humiliated by the Klits if it happened today. You can't expect a guy who has retired almost 10yrs ago who was also past his prime 10yrs ago be in top shape today. Just not happening.

    He'd get slaughtered right now, and he knows that.

    If he came back now, both Wlad and Vitali would stop him.

    Haye would be a toss up.

    However, he is a very intelligent man and would never return after retiring, as he has a life outside boxing.

    That would be a tough one. Haye/Lewis in britain and Vitaly/Lewis in the united states. Think Vitaly/Lewis would pull in the biggest numbers of the two if a fight was ever to happen. We know it won't though.

    How exactly? Lewis would take him apart even now.

    Vitali would be happy to knock Lewis out, but Lewis will never fight him. Lewis retired because of his badly broken nose.

    He has been retired a long time now. He might have slowed up so much that he wouldn't respond well to a right hand thrown at him. If he had a few fights back he could get in shape a little, but not near what he was in his prime.

    He's too old and has been out of the game too long. It's not just a case of getting in tremendous shape, it's also having the hunger and desire to risk getting punched in the face by people who are more than likely going to be in better shape. His body will not be able to do what it could back then and whilst he can probably still kick ass, I don't think he would be up to much if he did come back.
