Lewis got out at just the right time, he knew at 38 he wasn't the same fighter he used to be... a prime Lennox wouldn't have had any trouble diposing of V klit

good post Jose.Originally posted by joseLewis was great and will not be appriciated until time goes on and we see how crap the division is.
Lewis retired cause he was 38, had all the money in the world, was still on top and had all his brain cells.
You're right, Lewis retired because he was past his prime and defeated every contender that he faced. Why wouldn't anybody else want to go out on top?? He was pretty much done after the Tyson fight but fought again to solidify his status as one of the era's great heavyweights.Comment

I think all great champions have that edge, that killer instinct that keeps them ahead of the pack. Outside the ring he seemed to be a gentleman though.. Him being presented as the "gentleman" of the sport despite the fact that he's got a sadistic edge?Comment

Lennox Lewis might be the best heavyweight of all time. George Foreman even said that himself. Lennox Lewis is an incredible fighting specimen, and there are always going to be bashers. That's why I don't respond or listen to the Vitali bashers, because most of htem bashed one of hte greatest fighters ever.Comment

I wouldn't say that he would have had no trouble at all. Vitali is one of the better fighters that he's faced. people shouldn't underestimate Vitali, although I think the Williams fight will tell us a lot more about him. That is, if he can fight the way he did against Johnson again. I think he should be aggressive more, against Sanders the laid backness was understandable because of the danger of Sanders' punches.Comment

"Lennox haters always tend to be Vitali butt crawlers or bitter Mike Tyson fans"

i truly beleive that lennox's skills even at 39 are still good enough for him to come out of retirement and unify the division, however he does not have the mental motivation to do so and that is when he is voulnerable. But if his head was right he would be anyone tomorrow!Comment
