Lennox Lewis hints at return!!

[tracylee]

I think it would be best for his career to stay out of the game. Maybe promote, get the decent UK fighters out from under Frank Warren. He went out as a champ, barely. I have all the respect for Lewis, I believe he was a true champion. He doesn't need VK, VK needs him. Out of the top champions, VK is the only one that could beat Lewis. I really think he left at the right time and you cant say that about too many fighters these days. IE Holyfield.

You know, I hadnt thought of it that way. As much as I'd love to see him come back, he could do some of those British fighters a world of good. And getting them away from Warren would just be the beginning; with his name he could really promote their careers So thats a good idea I think!

Man, this quote is burning me up! Unbelievable arrogance, and what an annoying way to put it. I hope he does come back and Vitali knocks him flat.

My own biases aside, this fight would be H-U-G-E huge, so let's hope it happens. It would be nice to keep the linear title going a little while longer.

Arrogant? Perhaps, a little. But, he still has a long way to go to even match the likes of Jones, Hopkins, etc...in that department...a long damn way! And when they do it it's okay, why not him?

Lennox is smart enough to stay in retirement. There's really no point in coming back. He has his legacy and he doesn't want to risk it. He has already beaten Vitali and he has shown more than once that he was the superior HW of his time. It's a new era in the HW division right now. And if he was going to lose against Vitali (which I believe he would) he would be one more former Great who didn't know when to retire. He has enough money and respect for a lifetime and beyond. Hopefully he is as intelligent as he gets credit for.

No way is Lewis coming back.

I'm just annoyed that his British-ness comes out in spades whenever it will get him attention from the British media. He doesn't speak this way when he's talking to reporters over here (at least not in Canadian local papers). His accent sounds ridiculously phoney sometimes...he didn't sound that way when he was an amateur here, but suddenly when he became a pro he "developed" this accent.

Probably this isn't that big a deal...I'm not super-patriot Canadian or anything...just sort of irks me.

Ahhh, but he does have something that Jones and Hopkins will never have.... A gold Medal! Yes, Jones deserved it, but.......

He has solidified himself enough to be a Hall of Famer, I believe go done in glory not flames. Like my earlier post, I think Lewis could contribute alot more to boxing. It would be fun to see him as a ref. Throw him in there with a couple of Straweights!!!!

he should stay retired, he got his legacy, and the money

Lewis was born in London and says he is British. Good enough for me. I was born in London and I don't have a full ****ney accent because my parents are Scottish. Might not sound it but I'm still from London.

I've always thought he had a phony accent. But tracylee is right about how lots of other fighters are very arrogant, so the fact that Lewis is should come as no surprise. And the man can sure as hell fight.

If Vitali can become undisputed champ and King gets 30 mill apiece for a rematch, it wouild be hard for anyone to turn down.
