Ah crap, come on Lennox. Why don't any of these boxers have any money sense? He is going to get murdered if he comes back and fights Vitali now.
Oops, fell for it.

Advisors quiet over Lewis return
Lewis lost only two of 44 contests
Lennox Lewis' business advisor has refused to confirm reports Britain's former world heavyweight champion is set for a comeback "later this year".
Lewis told the Sunday Mirror: "The money is up to £21m and I simply can't turn that much cash down."
But Jerome Anderson would not comment on the story to BBC Radio Five Live.
Lewis, 39, retired last January but current heavyweight king Vitali Klitschko is keen to avenge his controversial loss to Lewis in 2003.
Lewis hinted at a return last month after Danny Williams' crushing defeat at the hands of Klitschko.
And the Sunday Mirror quoted Lewis as saying: "I'm going to start training seriously and I'm going back to England to start sorting this out.
"I need the money just like everyone else and it's just too good to be turned down."
Klitschko, the WBC champion, has repeatedly called on Lewis to fight him again since losing a bad-tempered brawl in Los Angeles.
The Ukrainian was well ahead on points before his challenge was ended by cuts.
Klitschko claims the former two-time world champion promised him a rematch after that fight.
Everyone else hasnt made millions for ten years, im sick of these dumbass celebrities and sports players somehow going broke
shiit i don't blame him for not turning down $40 million. he could show up and get KOed in the 1st round... he'd still be getting paid.
You do realize this thread is almost 5 years old?
thats £21 as stated which rounds out to be around $40 million U.S. Dollars, This is the biggest heavyweight fight to be made right now. But I dont think anyone would pony up that kind of dough for it though.

Site and date yet to be confirmed...
21 million sterling is too good to be true and if something is too good to be true then it probably is.
I will rejoice after the signing of contracts.
21 million pounds is a LOT of moolah, big enough to raise even the dead from the grave!
Otherwise, if he knows he's already washed up but nevertheless grabs the offer solely because of the big money, then the boxing world will never forgive him for life for being unfair and making big fools of us! :(
you said it, bro!
i only wish it were that simple, coming out of retirement when you're 39 is way different from being an active fighter who is 39. stopping training, and then starting again is a nightmare, and the ring rust, fuck lennox, this is a mistake. a prime lennox lewis destroys frankenstein, but lennox's ego won't let him see that he'll never be prime lennox again. FUCK, i thought he was smart for getting out just at the right time, when his skils were starting to go, now he decides after sitting on his lard ass for a year getting rusty he's gonna come back. FUCK WHY LENNOX??? his timing will be off, his legs are history, his reflexes will be diminshed, but he's still got the big right hand. fuck, fuck, fuck...???

If he honestly think he still got what it takes to be in the ring one more time with Vitaly and can give us our money's worth, then the fans will forever extol him for bringing HW boxing back to life. :)

Lennox is going to be so motivated to not screw up because he will think about the past fighters who came back and got beaten up.

He also wants to erase any doubt from some of you fuckers' mind that Vitali could have beat him..
that's right..
this next fight will erase any doubt that Vitali can beat LL from minds....
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I guess Lewis is coming back, because he doesn't want people to see Vitali as being the other undefeatable fighter in the era..
He also wants to erase any doubt from some of you fuckers' mind that Vitali could have beat him..
without manny on his side can he win??? i doubt it, he'll tell klitschko all of lewis's flaws, every one of them. who's lewis gona get buddy mcgirt, no disrespect to buddy, u my boy, but starting off with a new trainer at age 39, past ur prime, and taking on a 6'9 250 pound giant is a hard situation
