    Age and inactivity would be too much for Lewis to overcome and he's 10 years older than Wlad. Lewis was past his prime when he beat Vitali, so no way is he going to be better 5 years later. I agree with your outlook, Scott. With that said, prime Lewis KO's Klitschko. In fact, the punches Lewis hit Vitali with would have stopped Wlad.he chin is one major difference between the brothers. For those making the Foreman comparison there are two major differences: It took Foreman years to get to the elite level during his comeback. Also, Foreman retired in his prime. Lennox didn't.
    His prime was 50???

        Lennox, come back. Train hard, and make a come back and win the title back. I think he can do it. If he loses, he has an excuse...if he wins, he will have added to his legacy. Come on back Lennox, the heavy division needs you lol.

          ......Big Len has become one of Wlad's biggest fans and I wouldn't put it past him to spar with and/or instruct Wlad for some upcoming fights. I think it's obvious that he has a few ideas for Wlad and I believe he thinks he could help take him to another level. Obviously he is sharing some of these ideas with Manny but I just get the impression that he wants to get involved.

            Good publicity, but he won't comeback. He better than most understands fighting is a time limited activity ad he is past that. It's David Haye time now. One or two more fights for Haye and I think he's ready for Klitschko. It would be wise for Klitschko to fight him now, because time is on Haye's side. I'm sure WBO will fabricate mandatories for Klitschko to keep him busy but even the weakest, picked from a rotten lot (in a title shot fight) opponents are failing to make Klitschko look unbeatable. Best scenario possible for the Klitschko nuthuggers: Wladimir finally gives Haye a chance (lets hope he doesn't take too long for his own sake) and Haye KOs him, brutally. Vitali will jump out of retirement and start preparing for a Haye fight. That single fight would be HUGE. If Vitali manages to avenge his brother i think people will start to respect the Klitschkos more.

              My comment was not ridiculous, it was YOUR comment which was shallow and unthinking. Obviously you have seen little of Lewis as both a fighter, and a commentator, where the colleague commentators grease him up one side and down the other, compating what they see in the ring to the "Great" Lennox..... whilst he's smiling away and lapping it all up like a cat with cream......AND of course, agreeing with them.

              I was not talking of Lewis' private life, What do i know of his private life?? I don't give a damn about his private life, nor the private lives of thousands of other boxers who are just as "private" as Lewis.

              My comments were based PURELY on his public appearances and utterances.

              The "limelight" I mentioned, is B-O-X-I-N-G W-O-R-L-D L-I-M-E-L-I-G-H-T. This should be so obvious that it should not need to be spelled out.

              I don't see why I shuld have to educate you, so unless you have something concrete and thought-provoking to say, please make us happy by your silence.
              Im with Joseph, Lewis has avoided the limelight and any talk of a comeback, always reiterating that he is retired. As far as other commentators comparing what they see in the ring to Lewis, why shouldn't he smile when complimented?

                  kind words from gentleman lewis.
                  from the way some of you posters were talking i thought lewis called out wlad!

                  i want to be the first to say that valuev could be the most competitive against wlad.
                  valuev in his last outing showed mad improvement in using a sledgehammer left jab and stamina.
                  ruiz is back...dammm. but if a ruiz/valuev does happen i think its going to open a lot of peoples eyes.

                  wlad and valuev. gentle giants. no killer instinct. nothing gets them riled up.
