    Lewis at 45, has got that itchy feeling again. Saying he has "the urge" :D to come back again and fight. Is he bluffing, or do u think he is serious? Can he win a title at 45? I'm not crazy about him coming back. But, it sure would be interesting, esp. a fight with Vitali, or even an all British showdown with the Hayemaker. He said he would do better than Shannon Briggs did. I just wonder how much he has left in the tank at 45? ESB, your thoughts? :p

    depends entirely on what kinda shape he can get into, if he is as good as he was at the end of his career and a little bit fitter i'd say he could clean up

    i know a 100% that he would do better then briggs, but i give it no more than 5% chance that he comes back. would love to see him beat haye up and then face vitali though.

    Don't think he really does, and he shouldn't also.
    I believe that if he's good conditioned and really has "the urge" :)D), he might be a force to recon with again, also because his major skills don't fade quickly. But as much as I would like to see him do it, he won't be able to retake the title (well maybe the WBA's).

    The thing I worry about though is that there's the possibilty he isn't a shadow of his former self anymore and ends up like RJJ, getting his #ss beaten by guys he ate for breakfast in his prime, and **** all over his own legacy in the proces... I don't want to see that happening ever!

    Lewis got out at the right time. I don't want to see him back, because he wont be the same fighter.

    If he did come back, I'd feel bad for him, because it probably meant he had money problems.

    i think lewis has plenty of money, maybe he just misses the fame and attention of a worldchampion. Its an intriguing life.

    Lennox was one of the few who went out while still on top, on his terms. I doubt he's coming back especially since he's not financially needy like Tyson. If he did return in decent shape he'd be a force for sure, how much depends on how in shape he is of course.

    I wouldnt even care if he lost a bout or 2 so what he has a lot more to offer even now than anybody else and is the only one to be a serious challenge to the brothers this is a fact

    Weirder **** happens... a big uk box office against Haye isnt completely out of the imagination of the tv guys, but what if Lennox won? The only place after that he could really go is the K Bros. Both would kill him at this point imo. Boxing isnt a big enough sport anymore for guys that the everyman knows to fight nobodies... or is it?
