    He couldnt beat either brother now and why should he?

    He's old, retired and healthy. Hope he stays that way.

    Klit brothers are worthy champions.

    No, because if he comes back for anything but the fight with Vitali then he will be remembered as the greatest coward of all times.

    YEs because doing so would be defying the odds much more than when Ali beat Foreman


    THere is like a 0% chance of this actually happening though

    For Lewis to comeback & do this 4 years ago, it would've been somewhat possible, with an insanely motivated degree of dedication in training & some quality tune-ups... now it's pretty much impossible. I mean just look at the asking price. In '08 Lewis said in Boxing Monthly he'd rematch Vitali for $50mill (a fair deal), whereas now he'd fight either Klitschko, but asked for a tongue-in-cheek $100mill. Anyway to answer the thread question, currently I have Lennox at #2 & Wlad at #10 for ATG Heavyweights... so yes, coming back after 9 years of retirement, at age 47 (probably 48 by the time he faced Wlad) & defeating the man who's been the best in the division for the last 7 years... indeed that would warrant Lewis being the new Heavyweight GOAT in my books.

    Wlad is Very good but he is vulnerable but none of these punks can do anything about it.

    If he did it I say he would solidify his place as top 5 HW

    He would jump up to the very top near but behind Ali, Louis, Marciano but he would have to KO Wladimir in style.

    Lewis is already the GOAT, followed closely by Vitali and Wlad as #2 and 3. Ali and Louis make up rest of the top 5.

    very close....it'd put him either even or just a slight notch below Ali.....right now I have him at 4 behind 1. Ali 2. Louis 3. Holmes........If he came back and did this I'd put him into 2nd spot I think.
