Lennox Lewis: "I Considered a Comeback"

[Allucard]

Who do you guys favor in the rematch if it does happen? I would go with vitali by stoppage. Not by ko, I said stoppage, meaning the ref would have to jump in.

It won't happen, hold your horses. Trying to talk a 43 year old out of retirement is very .....

In a recent interview with The Sunday Times, former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis said he actually considered making a return to the ring on several occasions. Despite denying the constant rumors of returning, he's thought about it often. [details]

Hes too scared of the klitscko to come back. Vitali beat his ass into retirement.

I'm glad to hear that Lennox is standing firm to his resolve to stay retired despite the lure of millions of US dollars and that pesky boxing itch, a desire to go back fighting against all odds. It's almost a rule in boxing that retire is synonymous to fighting again after sometime down the road. Trinidad just recently has come out of retirement for the second time, holmes, foreman, JCC and so many other boxing great came back only to realize that father time has caught up with them. Even the greatest muhammad ali came back from retirement and suffered more punishment.

lol thats so ****ing shameful. trying to get a 43 year old on the ring, maybe hype him up a bit and then humiliate him. if that were to happen i'd forever hate vitali as ihate calzaghe for the same reason. beating up 43 year olds seems fashion now.

[Allucard]

If anything Lewis shows intelligence. He shows even more worthy of the hall of fame and one of the greatest HW, by showing his fans he will not be someone else's stepping stone. Unlike many others.

[HotSizzle]

Definitely.

I agree 100%....Lewis was offered one of the biggest paydays of his career for a rematch with Vitali Klitschko and he turned it down because he is scared of Vitali and he knows he would get KO'd...VITALI RETIRED LEWIS

I hope you are just kidding. Vitali will never ever achieve what lennox has achieved in his boxing career. Lennox retired with one of the best resume in heavyweight history and not having a rematch with vitali is insignificant.

Lewis didn't look at his best against a shot Tyson. Steward was yelling at Lewis to finish the fight early but he couldn't because of his broken hand.

And Steward is delusional if he thinks that Lewis could stop Tyson even faster than he did! Common, we still talk about TYSON, no prime Tyson aymore but still TYSON!! The guy has an irodn chin. Steward can be happy that Tyson did not manage to hit Lewis flush and stop him. Would not be te first time that happened to Lewis.
