Lennox Lewis: "For 100 Million Dollars, I'll Fight Again"

[edgarg]

Not one I'd pick, but that's why they fight the fights. regardless of the reasons, the names are on Wlad's resume and not his.

Weeeeell....looking at it THAT way, I suppose you're right, of course, the names are there for all to see, yes, he was there and his brother was not. And that sends me in another offshoot direction. {You remind me in that way, of long time "pen pal" Allan Scotto, whom you probably know. Writing for MaxB}.

I'd not be surprised if they shunt off some of Wladimir's possible opponents to Vitaly, as I'm sure they will have noticed the point you make, and will want Vitaly's legacy to incorporate a trip to the HOF. Although, what do you think?? I'd say a return friom a disastrous injury after 4 years, and to make the WBC Champ quit on his stool, the very same way he was doing it to all others before he was injured and retired. {except of course, Byrd, Lewis and Hoffmann} would be ENOUGH.

The only other one who retired, and then after a lengthy hiatus returned to win a Heavy title was Foreman.....Can you think of any other? And although Foreman's break was twice as long, he began very small, fighting many small fights before he got the title shot which he was losing big before that surprise KO. wereas Klitschko stepped into a title shot right away, when other fighters might have wanted a few tune-ups.

This doesn't seem so bad.

Lewis did say "Dollars" and not Euros or Pounds.

That's like 50 Euros and 1 British pound

WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko was waiting on whether or not Lennox Lewis would come out of retirement for a long-awaited rematch, and he got his answer. Retired since their 2003 battle, Lewis finally spoke about the rumors of a possible return to the ring against Vitali. [details]

lol,,,,I see age hasnt affected his lack of humility

50 million pounds

100 million dollars is nothing. maybe like half a tank of gas.

I've just realised, that through getting so involved in an interesting exchange with you, I missed the Malignaggi-Hatton fight. I'm going to read the write-ups now.

Also I sent you a letter of my thoughts about Wladimir steering some of his potential opponents from now on, to Vitaly, to build up HIS legacy for HOF. Although I would think {not an expert} that returning from a 4 year hiatus and healing a dreadful injury, to step right into a title fight and make the Camp quit on his stool, would do it.

Other fighters in the same situation, might want a couple of tune-ups first.

I meant to say that that letter about Wladimir handing on to Vitaly disappeared. I probably ticked off the Quote message, and didn't press send.

He is not worth that much the fat ****! He should maybe get it over three fights, with first two being tune ups for being humilated by winner of Haye V Vitalli

Sorry, just saw that "vanished" letter. I think my computer is suffering from the jumping sickness it has from time to time. My computer had actually jumped to a different page.

You mean 23 fights. That peanut on top of a pumpkin is worth just about nothing that his chutzpah won't get for him, and, of copurse, the idiocy of the money guys.
