Lewis: I know I can beat Klitschko!
Lennox says fight "stirred something inside me."
Current heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko may get his wish for a rematch with former champ Lennox Lewis after all. Like many former world champions who have been lured out of retirement by dreams of further ring glory, Lewis' resolve to stay out of the ring may have finally cracked. Lennox told reporters, "These kinds of fights do tempt me to think about coming back because when I see the weaknesses Vitali has, I know I can beat him. I felt like jumping in the ring and saying 'Danny, sit down mate, let me sort this out for you. Let me show you how it's done'. I'm nine months away from being fighting fit and watching the fight unfold last night stirred something inside me. It showed Klitschko's vulnerability."


Havent seen this posted and figured id post it, Sounds like good and bad news but Lennox is making the same mistake all retired champions have in the past and that is to come back, Although it isnt certain he will it is a hint of a possibility.

does this mean lewis retired to avoid vitali and now wants to come back cuz he sees vit weakness??? :confused:

I think Lewis has nothing more to prove and should enjoy his life away from boxing....

.....I don't think he will actually decide to come back but I do think he is ****ier when it comes to Vitali because Steward has been giving him some good info and good advice on the side.

LOL
my stupid conspiracy theory!!
not only sabotage them, but Stewart also finding a weakness for LL so he can comeback!

LOL

don't mind me

I think Lennox should stay retired becasue it could damage his reputation if he did get beat by some chance. I think he could beat Vitali but why risk trying when he already beat the guy once.

Everyone that says Lewis has nothing to prove is wrong. He was supposedly fighting as good as he ever had going into the VK fight and after the fight got stopped on cuts the HW champ of the world was down on all three cards...Beat VK is what he should prove....does he need to, to cement his legacy...probably not, well no, but this is a fight where LL has certainly got something to prove, plus it would be a great legacy builder (or crusher) if he were to come back after a year, year and half and crush VK.


If LL beat VK the way everyone thought then there would be no need to come back, he didn't therefore there is certainly has something to prove, not too me not too you but to Vitaly Klitchko.

Well if Lewis does comeback then Steward will more than likely train him and that would mean Wladimir would need to look for a new trainer, which could be a blessing in disguise. Anyone know why Wladimir refuses to be trained by Fritz Sdunek?

ejk22-Universum demands Vitali to train with sdunek so maybe something along those lines?

SCAP-You like other people tend to forget that each fighter had 11 days to prepare for each other, that is hardly enough to master a fighters style, Lennox was training to fight a smaller guy and planned to lean in on him and use his weight as an advantage which im sure is why he came in so heavy.

These two guys didnt box they brawled and that was because they were not prepared for each other completely, had each fighter had more time I think Lennox would have boxed his ears off.

I thought the Klitschko's were done with UNIVERSUM? They have their own promotional company called K2. I think Wladimir should be trained by Teddy Atlas. I think he would push the right buttons and possibly bring out the best in Wladimir.

give steward some time with wlad, i think he can do him alot of good...

Lennox Beat Klitschko the first time, in my opinion, only because of his eye, if it wasn't for that, Vitali had the fight, he landed so many great body shots and head shots. I'd love to see a re-match, watch Vitali pound Lewis' face in. :D

At no time in my post did I make a prediction or provide any fight analysis from my perspective, therefore I tend to forget ****! I responded to having something to prove if everything that you say is true (which I tend to agree with) then LL does have something to prove. If I have to pick a winner I would go with LL, I would root for VK but put a gun to my head and I am taking the big brit...again what do I tend to forget???

calm down, boxingscene is happy :)

Oh I am very calm...I just get really pumped up sometimes and have trouble controlling myself...I agree boxingscene is very happy.

I'm all for Lewis coming back to face V. Klit again.

Considering the sorry state of the division....how can you not want to see them go at it again ?

lewis mentioned that he is nine months away to be fighting fit, if the re-match will ever happen it would be late next year ...

how much will the long lay-off and age will affect LL performance???

c'mon. all you lewis fans want him to stay retired because you know vitaly will only retire him again like he did the first time.

That is nonsense!!
why would he come back now? I'm sure he won't anyway..

Um this is a 50/50 fight! Lennox easily has the skill to beat VK but he does have chin problems and Vitali was taggin it all 6 rds last time. LL says he would box this time around? Thats good for both i think. VK won't have to fend of all the shots comming from LL and LL could counter VKs slow jab, but I'd say about 50/50 with me going w/ VK in this one. That all being said. LL is just talkin **** he aint coming out of retirement in nine months.

Everyone that says Lewis has nothing to prove is wrong. He was supposedly fighting as good as he ever had going into the VK fight and after the fight got stopped on cuts the HW champ of the world was down on all three cards...Beat VK is what he should prove....does he need to, to cement his legacy...probably not, well no, but this is a fight where LL has certainly got something to prove, plus it would be a great legacy builder (or crusher) if he were to come back after a year, year and half and crush VK.


If LL beat VK the way everyone thought then there would be no need to come back, he didn't therefore there is certainly has something to prove, not too me not too you but to Vitaly Klitchko.
if ya eat so many monster right shots and your face cuts so bad
ya need 60+ stitches imo winning on the scorecards or not your
losing.
if ya think theres something wrong with the rules bring it up with
the top guys and stop saying lewis only won because of the cut

james toney has fought many fights were hes been miles behind
and still won.by whatever means the rules/ref allow.

if anyone believes lewis's statement of he was at his best
against v-klit ya only need to look at him during the fight
to see it was bulls**t. he was overweight and slow and after
weathering the early storm was landing bombs at will on klit

what does that say about klit..he never can and never will
be able to lace lewis boots even if he beats him in a rematch

I am not making excuses for VK, all I am saying is that there is with out a doubt unfinished business with the two, if there wasn't Lewis wouldn't be saying that he can beat him. A cut stops the fight, thank you for clarifying that for me...I think if they fight again the cut issue will be a big factor again, although I have watched the lazy right hand LL landed or sort of landed and it was definately helped out by the duck tape.

Do it again thats all I am saying, there is unfinished business thats all I am saying...Oh you mention that if I don't like the rules to breing it up with the top guys...do you know someone who I can contact about that, I will see what I can do about getting some of the rules changed, if you have a name, number or even email of some of the top guys it would be much appreciated.

Did I say LL only won because of the cuts as you suggest...well lets reflect a little bit shall we...heres what I said "He was supposedly fighting as good as he ever had going into the VK fight and after the fight got stopped on cuts the HW champ of the world was down on all three cards." This was reality, the fight got stopped on cuts right? VK was up on all three cards right? Do I mention in there that the only reason LL won was because of cuts? No, so be nicer to me or I will cry.

The fight was on the table, VK did not have an advantage (except on the cards, which you probably dispute) and LL had no advantage (except for VK eye which you relish)...both were done, did you see your boy hit the stool at the end of the sixth, his big ass barely caught the corner, had he fallen LL may have not gotten up...he's not very good ya know at continuing once he has been down. To be fair VK was thru as well-I can't see either fighter finishing that fight on their feet...It was certainly headed for a double knockout.

Remember if you could get me those contact numbers I want to change this sport so big huge nasty cuts never rear their ugly head in this sport ever again.

oh one more thing you say "monster rights"....the monster right in the fight was landed by VK, I believe LL landed the monster uppercut...LL's right hand is one of the best punches I have ever seen in the sport however it was not on display that night, he threw it as wildly and lazy as I have ever seen him throw it...do you still like "monster rights" cuz I have seen LL monster rights before (Ruddick, Tyson, Botha, etc)now check those MR's out again and tell me what you think...your the best!

LL aint dumb enough for a rematch with Vit.

I agree....I just cant see Vitali beating Lennox is he comes in at the right weight and takes Vitali seriously..not at all!

This goes out to the person who said how Lennox Lewis was losing on all the score cards on the first page. I believe the fight was stopped in the sixth round, that's too early in the fight for one to make an argument..

The fight was not stopped in the sixth, rather the round was completed therefore at the halfway point in the fight VK was leading on all cards...this is all factual.

If this post was directed at me I was obviously not making an argument for either guy...the fight for the millionth time was on the table, anyone who says differently for either guy probably says so because they want one guy or the other to win. Again Lewis won on a cut stoppage and VK was leading on all cards...thats all.

dont cry..i atke it back lol..

i dont dispute klit was ahead and the cut was depressing as
well as nasty..the fight had to be stopped.rules are ok on
that.i dont dispute that.

lewis came in fat because hed trained for kirk "the joke"
johnson and he likely underestimated klits will to win.

klit was hammering lewis but he was taking monster shots too.
and lewis withstood them after looking shaky in rd 1.
they were both knackered but klit was worse for wear.

to me theres no unfinished business because they had no
business fighting anyway.lewis had lost the will after
dominating mike tyson.
same as i dont need to see roy jones rematch johnson.
count your losses and get out the game.
morales had the same problem against barrera.
maybe could get it back..maybe not.

After the round in which the cut was originally open, Vitali's corner passed the towel over his face rather hard further opening it. If someone has the fight you'll know what I'm talking about. One could say that Lewis' punch would have further opened the cut, because that's what he would have been aiming for once he saw the blood, but what kind of corner does that **** when they see a cut..

I just watched it again the other night while taping it yet AGAIN and they did seem a bit rough with the cut. I thought "damn, if getting hit like that didnt hurt, them pulling on the thing like that surely does"!! :eek:

awww have the boxingscene boys got ya slaving away again. :D

Ill pray for LL to come back so VK finaly can shut knock that bigmouth out.

No, I'm still trying to replace some of the big title fights that were never returned to me...that fight was one of them. Thanks HBO! :)

Ill pray for LL to come back so VK finaly can shut knock that bigmouth out.

I pray for him to return and kick Vitali's ass again so that the fan's will shut their mouth

lewis has nothing to prove as he already beat him well and truly..........if the fight went on klitschko would have either been knocked out, or bled to death.

Lewis was this close to KO'ing VK.VK was getting blasted bad.

Is Lewis too old now though?













LOL

give steward some time with wlad, i think he can do him alot of good...

hhmm, i was right...

dayum this is some prehistoric **** right here. i remember those times.

I dunno man....I would love nothing more than for Lewis to come back and handle the K Bros....but it's gonna be a tough one....last time I saw Lewis he was pudgy and his hair beard was gray here and there....just didn't look like he would be in any type of shape to fight again....

There isn't much of an upside for him to do this.....but I'd love to see him do it...

Lewis just teasing the nazi, Vit will get all crazy and become obsessed with this and keep calling him out like a fool. Lewis will not fight him again, he beat him already and it's time for Vitali to find another tough fight to define his legacy.

Is Lewis too old now though?












LOL

Of course he is! I miss watching lewis more than anyone but I wouldnt want him to risk tainting his legacy by coming back 6 years after being out! He said it 5 years ago no need to drag it up

If Evander Holyfield can still fight I think with the right training Lewis could make a comeback again.

lennox lewis already tko'd him ....

Can't believe someone bumped this old ass article, made me believe Lewis feels he can beat Vitali now! If Lennox truly believed he could beat Vitali now, I'd call his fat old graying ass crazy as hell.

look at vitali's face
imagine if the fight went 12 rounds
he'd look like freddy krueger

I don't think Lennox could do much more damage to it, Lennox is the one who passed out on his stool. And Vitali is the one who shoved Lennox, and Lennox couldn't do anything back because he was so exhausted.

Lol, funny that he never came back when he called Vitali into a meeting that was supposed to be just mano a mano and Lennox's mom was present during the meeting. Vitali got a call the next day and Lewis told him he didn't want a rematch. That's the truth, from Vitali's mouth. Mother Lewis saw in Vitali's eyes that he was going to knock Lennox out in a rematch and persuaded him to stay on the shelf.

Now then ...............call me a liar.

Lennox wasn't going 12 and he knew it. He was relieved as hell it was stopped on cuts.

You're a liar

It is true that Lewis ducked out of the rematch though, that will always be a thing people dislike about him, and the fact that he waited till Tyson had ring rust from doing time.

LL aint dumb enough for a rematch with Vit.

You hit the nail on the head. Lewis has more to loose than to gain in this fight, money or not.

lewis beat vitali . tko in 6

vitali is the one who feels like he lost thats why he keeps bugging lewis
saying 'please give me another chance'

but lewis already gave him a chance and he got tko'd ...
vitali already had his chance against lewis and he couldnt beat
an old lewis who only had an uppercut left .

look at vitali's face
imagine if the fight went 12 rounds
he'd look like freddy krueger

lets not forget that the worse cut was done by a punch that missed and just glazed VK's face. a freak thing thing that doesnt happen often.

I dont know if you watch UFC, but vitor belfort got a fluke win over randy coutore the same way. a missed punch cut randy's eye with the side of the glove.

You're a liar

It's true. Go look it up.

Ms. Lewis: "Baby, that's a big strong white man, I saw in his eyes he's got that fire you used to have. You don't need to prove anything to anyone. Stay retired with your freak win over him."
