      Boxing doesn't need Lewis. The day boxing needs one man is the day that I stop watching the sport alltogether.

      I doubt he will ever come back, tho. I think Toney and Rahman are the future of the HWs right now. As soon as Rahman dispenses with Vitali (and having KOd Lewis once) most people will accept him as the new HW champ. Then he will fight Toney (because the Rock isn't afraid of anyone) and the winner will be considered by the people as THE champ.

        My advice to Lennox Lewis is to stay retired. He is already near to the age of 40 (perhaps he is already 40 years) he will not be the champion he used to be in the past. Look at Evander Holyfield, this guy thinks he can still be the heavyweight champion of the world one day, but if you watched his last fights he acted like a punching bag. Lewis already made a lot of money, so enjoy the financial resource. He cannot save the heavyweight division.

          I really can't see Lewis coming back, and I think he'd be in trouble if he did

            I think if Klitschko is still champ, Lewis will be back. I think so because after the last time I watched the Lewis-Klitschko fight, I was thinking here is a guy that Lewis can beat easily if he came in peak condition. Now, I'm sure some people will disagree with that last statement, but I stand by it 100%. All Lewis has to do is keep his jab going, he hit Vitaly with a couple really good jabs in there fight and Vitaly looked like he got hit with a steel pole. The jab is the key to this fight for Lewis, as he can land that monsterous upercut seemingly almost at will when Klitschko is in range. Plus, if he gets that jab working, the right cross will be there for the taking.

            Klitschko is a good fighter, Lewis may be the only guy that is up to the task of beating him. If this fight comes off, Lewis will win.

              This is another likely senario IMO because I think Rahman may beat Vitaly. If he does, I seriously doubt a Lewis-Rahman matchup will have the same drawing power as Lewis-Vitaly.

                If you've been a boxing fan long enough, you know that the smart money is on Lewis making a comeback. Wether he should or not is up to debate. But 99 percent of the time they do. It just always works out that way. Sure, there's the 1 in a thousand like Marvin Hagler who stay retired, but the vast majority of them all come back. The fact that boxers can't stay out of the game for good when they retire is nothing new. If Lewis doesn't fight again (jones jr. tyson, holyfield, you name em' for that matter) I will be totally shocked. After being a boxing fan for 20 plus years, there's two things that i've learned you can always count on: #1 no matter how invincible you think a fighter is, he can get beat. #2 Fighters never retire, they just sort of fade away.

                  if there's one thing Lenox is more than smart, it's PROUD / ARROGANT... which can make him do ****** things... like fight again and risk injury to his old tiring body.

                  one thing to consider when talking about LL vs. VK.... Lewis did drop some SERIOUS bombs on VK. but LL is known for having a somewhat glass jaw. compare that with VK having a steel one and having NEVER been knocked DOWN, much less OUT. so if VK gets beat to hell chasing LL around, who cares??? as long as he eventually KOs the KOable LL, he will win (and as long as he doesn't get cut like he did before). Those bombs of LL won't help but so much, as proven in their previous fight... but if you recall VK did land a one-two that almost dropped LL.. ALMOST..

                  and all this talk about a beaten-by-Ruiz Rahman doing the job beating VK and saving the HW division spoken by all his nut-huggers is nonsense.
