Man, i wish lennox had stayed around a year longer.

[ShatteredGlass]

He could of bashed up vitali again and knocked him out that time, then sparked wlad out cold, in a cross between rahman 2 and golota fights

Then we would all know what the klits were

lennox, you left too soon brah!

[led]

OR if he stayed longer your hope would turn the other way around.

[big red davis]

and got knocked out in a rematch...sorry none for me thanks...

[BattlingNelson]

After the Vitali fight, he kept on dragging his decision to retire. He wanted the money for a rematch but I guess he could all the time see the beating he would have to endure to get them just wasnt worth it.

He retired at the right time, while he was on top which is a difficult decision but the right one. He passed on the torch to the Klitschko's.

he got off lucky in the first fight, I don't think a second time would of gone so good for him.

Well Wlad did call out Lennox in March of 2001, but perhaps Lewis would've finally faced him after the loss to Sanders. Highly doubtful he'd have beaten both brothers at that stage of his career though.

It was the right time to retire. Definetely...

What p!sses me off though, is the way he kept promising Vitali and the boxing world a rematch without delivering. That ******.

[Daddy T]

I think in his heart he knew that a rematch with Vitali was at best a 50-50 fight in which he would take a hell of a beating win/lose. At his age he just didn't fancy that, he'd earned his money and just didn't have the hunger any more. Obviously a tough decision for him cause it kinda looked like he was running from the fight but it was probably the right call - you gotta know when to quit or you'll end up like Ali/Louis - an old man getting pummeled by a younger hungrier foe .

[Jim Jeffries]

Plus Lewis is one of the few retired champs you see that isn't slurring his words. Despite the two knockout losses, he never really took any extended beatings in the ring. That could've changed had he stuck around another year or two.
