One of the reasons I think the heavyweight division is in such a drought is because the torch was never passed. Lewis retired after beating Vitali and then the fans were expected to believe that Vitali was the new #1. A hardcore fan like me might be okay with that, but casual fans want to see a clear successor.

In short, Lewis should come back just so Vitali can kick his ass and be seen as the real champion in the eyes of the public.

What's in it for Lennox? He should come out of retirement in order to lose by knockout?

Vitali los his right to be seen as the real champ when he pulled out of the Rahman fight, regardless of his reasons.

Lennox is old, outta shape, rich as hell, and has nothin to prove. To hell wit a comeback, even tho he'd probably be a better fighter than commentator.

I've heard him say in interviews that he won't come back for anything less than $30mil, and this was about 2yrs ago. The only guy who can generate $$$ like that these days is Oscar, but apparently he only fights LW's now...

NO, lewis should stay retired and be one of the only ones who has done what he said he was going to do and that is retire. all this retire and coming back bull**** is lame, it's cliche' to say the least, more on the lines as cheesy.

Jesus.... maybe Oscar could clone himself twice and Lennox could fight them all at the same time, lol. I don't want to see him come back either. Foreman beat Moorer, that was the only good thing a phony retirement ever produced.

Lennox should come back
