    It seem almost inevitable that on any given year once great fighter come out of retirement when they get that itch back. There were quite a few this year. Whos next?

    Lewis won't come back. Too smart to comeback and diminish his incredible legacy.

    It would not diminish his legacy that much, his accomplishments already made that sealed. fighting a warm up, beating haye then fight vitali would improve his legacy even if he were to score 2/3 even if he lost all it would nut hurt his legacy much, because it would be considered a shell of the zombie of lennox lewis.
    And he would make some serious money

    I would hope not. At 45 and not having fought in over 5 years even Holyfield has a better shot at reclaiming a title than him...and he has practically no shot.

    he would have a great shot, think about it, he still will have power, just be very slow, he still be smart and have technique. Him beating haye is possible. Cant beat the klits.

    ths also might be a weird answer but what about hearns, guy got serious money problems and was hinting at a tarver fight. Tommy definitely should stay retired though.

    i would say there is probably a 50% chance that Hearns fights again. It would be another one and done though imo once he scratched the itch. hearns money problems arent the kind that most of us deal with. hearns can always make money. He doesnt ever NEED to fight again.
