    He's been gone too long. He's got the comfort of retirin on top and havin gotten more props as a great champ since he's been outta the action than he was gettin while he was fightin. If he came back no way he'd be hungry enough to get in top form. He'd end up gettin embarrassed.

      Lewis had trained for a couple of months for the Klitschko fight. Vitali was a substitute for Kirk Johnson, and he had the same notice as Lewis. Don't make it sound like Lewis only had trained for a couple of weeks. And yes, all of those fighters you named (except Oleg, who lost his title to Peter if you don't follow boxing news) would beat Lennox Lewis in 2008.

        Lewis might have "trained" for two months, but I doubt he tried all that hard.

        I only had to look at him to know he was waaaay out of shape.

          That would be a strong indication of a fighter nearing the end of his career. Lewis was already very wealthy and was bored of boxing having already achieved most of his goals. I think a comeback for him now would be a total disaster.

            Yes or No!

            I say yes.
            he'd get gas out after 2 rounds. with the weak links like maskeav out,,lewis would be a long shot. he's just too old and has been too inactive

              No... He's been inactive too long.

              He would gas out and most likely look shot as hell.
