    Lennox looks out of shape and his hair is going grey. Lennox has nothing to prove! Stay retired.

    What credit would Vitali get for beating this version of Lennox Lewis?

    None i reckon?!

        Maybe Manny just misses Lennox, he's sick of training charlatans who are never gonna go for greatness.

            There is.

            Because Wlad Klitschko's record is coming dangerously close to Lennox' record.

            Actually Evan Fields + Vitali + Tua are the only reason why Lennox' record is better. But the win over Vitali was unsatisfying, Tua is nearly forgotten and Evan Fields is not enough to keep Lennox on #1 forever, since Wlad had so much more fights and so much more KOs.

              Why is there logic out there that two fighters fighting- at any point in their career or lives- equals the same level of competition? Floyd fighting Manny back when he was at 135, years ago, won't be the same fight we see at welterweight, should it happen, regardless of the outcome.

              Has anyone seen plump, greying Lennox on HBO recently? I mean, seriously, even if we though Vitali's layoffs hadn't taken a step or two from him when fighting men other than tomato cans like Sam Peter, there's 0% chance the Lennox Lewis we see on his return is the same fighter who we remembered. He's been out of the game too long. Conditioning, age, it'd all be a factor.

              Stay retired Lewis. There's nothing you can prove by coming back as a shadow of your former self. Same with Oscar, Tyson, Ward- the list of boxers far past their prime who sometimes people want to keep going. No.

              There's a beginning, a middle, and an end. Lennox Lewis saw his career go through all of those stages and it's done. Emmanuel can go sit on a prick.

                Lennox's record will always be better because he defeated everyone he ever faced. Wlad was destroyed by Corrie sanders and Ross Purrity and never avenged those losses.

                    No way.

                    Then Lennox would be ALWAYS better than Ali, Foreman, Tyson and basically everyone else.

                    The MAIN REASON why Lennox has 0 unavenged losses is because he has only fought 42 times against heavies.

                    Add to it that Lewis-McCall II was not directly "avenged".

                    Avenged losses mean not much except that some boxing politics was't in the way.

                      Lennox has been away from boxing far far too long, and it looks like he hasnt hit the gym in a very long time. I hoped they faught before lennox retired but i know he was scared of Vitali and didnt want to risk anything.
