    I would rather see Lenny stay retired. I'm a fan of his, but at 40 years old and many Red Stripes later, only bad things can happen. In my opinion, his legacy is secure and has nothing to prove...Let's turn the page on him. He should go down as borderline top ten all time. A very respectable career.

      I think Lewis would try to end the fight early. I don't think he wants to take sustainable damage from Vitali. He doesn't want this thing dragging on 8 or 9 rounds. If Lewis failed to get Vitali early and got knocked out in the 6th round or later...I think Lewis would stay down. I don't see him trying to get up at all.

        Lewis let himself go too much already. It would take him too long to get back into shape, to do anything significant. There is a difference between a 38yr old fighter and a 40yr old fighter, just ask holyfield.

          True, I just hope that it wouldnt go that way. I like Lewis alot and have loads of respect for him..I'd love for him to fight Vitali again (and win) if only for the nay sayers

              id love to see lewis come back and beat vitali's ass. vitali brings nothing to the table as hw champ. we need someone like rahman to carry that, someone whos at least an entertaining figure, not just a massive russian who never speaks 2 words

                but yea lewis definately shouldnt, he would prob be beat and it would be sad to see lewis go out like that, the same way mike and evander and pretty much bowe did

                its good to at least see one that is doing ok and healthy

                  I love the rock too but the problem with him is he always opens his mouth and very rarely backs it up. His performance against Ruiz was dreadful, digusting, disgraceful...Rock is a better talker than he is a fighter. I would rather have it the other way around!

                    I hop Lennox doesn't comeback because I was happy when he retired as champion at 38. Thats the way it should be.

                      Lenny will not comeback. He had his chance when they offered him $20000000 but he did not. Do you think he is dumb enought not to understand that 40 years old is too old to fight the baddest man on the planet right now
