Let me make you the champ, Audley
"I want to stay involved and now I'm working out again that is likely to include becoming a trainer."
Lennox Lewis is offering to help Audley Harrison resurrect his career by training him to the world heavyweight title.
Is this optimism beyond the point of reason?
"Definitely not," says Lewis. "Audley has the talent to be The Man. Losing a couple of fights doesn't change that. What matters is not whether you can come back from a knockout like the one he just took from Michael Sprott - we all can if we want it enough - but how you come back.
"Has he learned that it takes more than he's given so far?"
Lewis is encouraged by his own fabled maestro Emanuel Steward to become a trainer and he is inviting Harrison to join him in the gym in Miami where he has made his family home.
He said: "The biggest mistake Audley made was turning down the offer I once made him to be part of my training camp. He needs to find out what it's really all about at the highest level. It's 12 weeks in isolated concentration.
"It's not about quick knockouts. It's grinding up to survive 12 rounds, to take the pain, to never give up.
"It's also about the basic of asserting the jab. Nothing works properly without that. Audley has the jab but he has to knuckle down to using it."
