    he didnt need $ vs tyson its for his record, that he had fight/beat everyone. but after kliscko fight i would like to see rematch. , its good that lewis quite on top, btw i havent seen lewis got dominated in any fight, beside ray mercer fight. he dominated it also but mercer landed a lot heavy puncher.

      he got dominated for the most part of the Vitaly fight. Have to say that he came back strong in the middle rounds. I think that his seize also has to do with him not being dominated. It's not easy to dominate when you are fighting a giant like Lewis. Only a fellow giant with just as much skill could do that. Vitaly would seem the man for the job. Damn, I want that rematch bad!

        He's a smart fighter, and they can sometimes be boring to watch, for a fan who's strictly into brawls. I liked all his fights, though....I enjoy a fighter who thinks his way through a bout. However, I have to say that his best performance in the ring was against Klitchko. I'd never seen him trade like that before. Exciting as hell for me

        In fact, that was one of the best heavyweight fights I've ever watched.

          It's far too late for a rematch. Lewis is too old. I don't want to see another retired champ come back and take a beating at the hands of a younger, stronger fighter. No fun in that at all. Just be happy with that one spectacular heavyweight fight, watch it over and over, and be glad you were there to see it live. Trust me, it's one that will be talked about for another 50 years, and will go down as one of the greatest heavyweight fights ever. It had all the "goodies". An aging champ, two huge guys with power in both hands, a young challenger who wasn't expected to do much more than show up and fall down.....it has it all, fellas. It may not be something people rave about now, but mark what I say....it'll be the one people remember most of this era.

            i disagree, i think the tyson fight elevated lewis to his highest point. just look at what danny williams did he beat a ****ty version of tyson then lewis did and he got a title shot. tyson is big, if u beat him your career goes up.

              "the tyson fight elevated lewis to his highest point". Perhaps in the eyes of the main public, not to me. Tyson just isn't capable of making a decent comeback. His style doesn't support it, and his age and mental state arent't helping either. He is not capable of doing against Williams and he wasn't capable when he fougth Lewis. Sure I would like to see Tyson fight again, but I know that will not see him win again. (at least not against a real contender)
