Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis Rejects $50 Mill For Klitschko, Wants Double

[edgarg]

Recover from what? I'd be laughing myself silly that Lewis was willing to sell his name for that amount.

The name of the "game" is money. You may put it that he would be "selling his name", but it would be a purse never before seen or even heard of (apart from Phloydiebytes).
If he didn't have that required name, he wouldn't even be asked about "whether" or "if"...

And if he lost, he'd have a good excuse, it couldn't damage his name, he hasn't an unbeaten record, and from a business point of view, unless he has a medical reason, it would be foolish not to grab it with both hands. Klitschko's chin is questionable against a big puncher, which Lewis was.

I seriously doubt whether such an offer would emerge. I think that these are reporters' "sensationalised' questions, and I believe that this has been asked before.

I've just glanced at your later posts and see that you think it's just a joke. So my post wasn't needed... I answered your post as being serious. Sorry.

The "transaction" could help Wlad as well, since his recent engagement being announced

5 years or so from now, he'll be taken to the cleaners

That good chunk of change can go a long way

His wife has her own $. Nashville is going to be on for a while

Wlad makes me sick, first we see his dirty fighting with Povetkin, a glorified street fight. Now he's calling out 50 year old men, he's the most classless fighter in boxing.

The asking price says it all. Lennox is retired, fools.

[Pancho.Villa]

50Mil is kinda low for Live murder but 100M sounds about right but for murdering someone on live TV, I dont know 100Mil is crazy but im morally conflicted.

[BKM-2010]

^ This.

That type of money can lure anyone out of retirement. All he'd have to do is stay down after Wlad lands the first big right hand, wait after the 10 count, and then collects his fat check.

Lol not that easy. His life would never be the same again. It would never be worth the money to Lewis who cares a lot about his legacy.

100 Million is Mayweather-Pacquiao style money.

No way would someone pay that for Lewis at 50 to fight Wlad at 40.

where did wlad even say he would fight him, much less calling him out... i remember him saying it would be a mismatch 3-4years ago..

First off, Lennox Lewis even at 48 would destroy Wlad. Do you actually think jabbing and hugging would beat lennox Lewis. Wlad is the most boring champion of all times and he fights like a total *****. Why is Lennox finally considering coming back to fight Wlad, because he knows we will kick his ass! Wlad fights like a total *****... if it wasn't for his size he wouldn't even be champ. Lennox is the same size and as soon as Lennox nails Wlad he'll ***** up and get ko'd! Lennox Lewis bests Wlad easy. (ever notice how Vitali takes all the dangerous fights? example: Shannon Briggs, Arreola... Wlad stays away from the brawlers because he's such a wimp.

COME ON, LEWIS... kick this guy's ass!!!

[dreamkiller]

You are absolutely delusional. Wlad Klitschko puts him in the hospital. Why do you think Lewis is throwing around the 100 million if he even remotely had a chance? 100 million is what it would cost for him to get in the ring and get drilled.

Has anyone seen Lewis lately? Guy must weigh over 300 lbs. Must be all those English pastries (no, not all the bums he fought when he was champ).
