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

[Derranged]

He isnt coming back. Its been 5 years since he fought and he's 41. It would not be wise, unless he got 100mil for a rematch with Golota..

[Heru]

If boxing needed Lennox, why would he place such an obscene amount of money, he knows he'd never get for one fight? Because he's a ****ing ****, that's why. Only a ****ing **** would not want to "save" the sport that got him the fame, money, etc. that he now enjoys. He's a ****ing ungrateful ****, boxing doesn't need his ***** ass.

[totalstranga]

he's been out too long, too old, etc. some of these younger east europeans would beat him IMO. He obviously doesnt need the $ or he'd be realistic about it, so just stay gone for ****s sake. Hopkins is the new Foreman, not Lennox

[hitmenow]

I love saying that quote like hes Dr. Evil.

[BoxingScribe]

Boxing doesnt need him, but the heavyweight division certainly done.

$100 million is realistic. I swear I'd pay $100 bucks to see take the belts from either Vitali or Wladimir

[edgarg]

I like Lewis and I don’t have any problem with his “tongue in cheek” comment about getting back into the ring for 100 million, but why throw in the comment that boxing needs him? No offense to Lewis but there isn’t anyone who is bigger than the sport in which they compete.

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.

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.

It certainly does NOT need a 43 year old hambone, who, even when he was fighting, was actually what Lewis has the nerve to call boxing today, "boring" that's exactly how Lewis fought. The only real action would be if he knew the other guy couldn't hurt him, or if the opponent came hunting for him, like Vitaly Klitschko, who wouldn't let Lewis grab hold of him to close off any attack.

Typical Lewis fa(r)t-headed remarks. For the past couple of days I've been writing in about his outrageous narcissism and self-ego trips. He can't do without praise and Lampley and that foxy Kellerman guy butter Lewis up one side and down the other, enormously, AND you can see just how much Lewis loves it. He dangles it out to catch every bit of praise he can get.

So this announcement of his is not unexpected by me. I dudn't say I expected $100 mill, but a huge unrealistic sum anyway, like $30 or $40mill. plus the PPV.

Everybody seems to have forgotten how and why he retired in the first place. Vitaly Klitschko gave him such a hammering in that 6 rounds, and there's no doubt but that that ****** doctor saved Lewis from being stretched out in the very next round, since Klitschko has won the 2 previous ones very well. And his physicality in the ring showed he was ready to go 12, and was in tip-top shape. So Lewis messed him around for nearly a year, and when he saw Klitschko destroy Kirk Johnson, Lewis's original opponent, he became forced into a box, to either put up or skip out.

He still managed to string it out for another 4 months, all the time having NO intention of ever again fighting Klitschko. Not at all to follow up the vindictive comments about "tearing up the other side of his face" etc.....which Lewis made. And many more.

As I say, everyone seems to have forgotten all this...including Lewis, who obviously has pushed it to the back of his memory.

So there's no Lewis comeback, certainly not whilst either Klitschko is still around,

[MetalVomit]

allow me to translate:

Lennox:no way.

[larryx]

**** lennox for 100 million we can fight every day of the year puto

[paiid-in-full]

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.

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.
