lewis didn't rematch klitschko because he knew he was at an age where he was only going to go downhill, he knew the risks by fighting again, he seen what happened to ali and other great fighters, klitschko just came around at the wrong time for lewis,if he had of met lewis two or three years previous then of course lewis would of rematched him. but an older lewis still managed to beat klitschko, while at the same time realizing that it was time to retire because the younger klitschko [and maybe others in the future] where catching up with him IMO.

WoW, someone here can still speak intellectually without nuthugging insults.

Paul kudos to you and your posts!

Lewis retired ONLY after VK had seen his own doctor who said he was fine, and then saw Lewis' doctor, and HE said VK was fine. Lewis retired ONLY after he was out of excuses and the sanctioning bodies wouldn't let him fight Tyson or Rahman again for another quick payday. To me, that says it all about "The Lion's" character, at least at that stage of his career.

sidenote: calling lennox lewis a top 10 HW is a true insult to the real great HWs.

That is so true

i would agree with that, Lewis did bug me with an independent doctor to certify klitschko's eye was ok to fight and then he still never fought him?
