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

[The_Visitation]

He didn't "throw it in" he said it very seriously. And the "tongue in cheek" comment about the $100 mill wasn't "tongue in cheek" as is evidenced by his other comments. He really sees himself as the "saviour", and as Frank Maloney said, he's delusional.

Really? Have you heard or seen this interview? Have you even read the News of the Screws article? Have you the slightest idea how he "really sees himself"?

Lennox was having a laugh. If he was 'delusional' about being the 'saviour' of heavyweight boxing he wouldn't be asking $100m for the privilege of doing it. Per fight, presumably. Please don't tell me you think he actually expects someone to pay it.

When the last last really good heavyweight fight?? I know that I live in Aus and don't get alot of PPV's but can anyone tell me?

Heavyweight boxing does need saving, all I want is a heavyweight that can box for 4-5 rounds consecutively, without breathing like an fat man who walked up 10 stairs.

The Witherspoon fight last week was excellent. All needling of Edgarg (in good fun) aside, Heavyweight has produced some fun fights this decade. Byrd vs. McCline was good; Brewster-Liakhovich was borderline great; Vitali vs. both Lewis and Sanders were tons of fun and Wladimir Klitschko is much closer to a HOF career than most care to recognize. If Vitali can fill out what to now is a weaker overall resume than his lil' brothers, he certainly will be on that edge too and is the tougher of the two. With better opportunities earlier in his career, he may well have been a legitimately great Heavyweight. Instead, he got a bit of an unfair kick from the Byrd fight and the bulk of his prime was lost. He has time to make up for it.

BTW, before any Klit fans call Lewis out for not taking a rematch of the madatory he fulfilled in 2003, shouldn't Klitschko, after forcing his emeritus status on the world, man up and give JC Gomez the shot he earned?

Nice answer by Lewis

[crold1]

I've got news for you all, Heavyweight boxing does NOT need a saviour, and if it did, you've got the nearly miraculously resurrected Vitaly Klitschko to be that saviour. A far better and far more exciting fighter than Lewis. Just think back folks, beyond Lewis's Klitscko fight. Do you EVER recall him being in an interesting fight???? I don't. His fights were always real zzzzzers.

Rahman I & II

All good to very good fights...I mean, it's not Timo Hoffman, Vaughn Bean, Danny Williams or any of the other legendarily great fights and fighters Vitali Klitschko has been involved in or toppled. I know. But it's okay in it's own right.

In other words we'll never see Lennox return to the ring then. Its good to see Lewis is still finacially stable to this day. Kudos to his advisory team.
