NEWSFLASH: It's official, Lewis is coming back...*sighs*

[adeelr]

IF lewis takes this fight he will get his head knocked into his body...because Vitali has been hungry of this fight for a long long time..had it not been for the cut he developed, he would have won the first battle...so this is a ****** mistake...Lewis will destroy his legacy that he built in peculiar fashion.

Lewis is taking a risk, but a risk against an overated donkey with no style who just walks forward with his hands down and his chin hanging out. Cant see VK winning, too easy for Lewis to hit.

A Lewis return would be a good thing, but how long would he be back for? One fight? It's just a temporary stop gap on the division... we need the next guy.

Wow, I'm shocked! I thought he had to worry about money about as much as Holyfield did..as in not at all.
Ah spinks, dont call the man a fool..atleast this way he can beat Vitali again and put a stop to all the speculation and nonsense I wish he'd stay retired too but not cause I think Vitali can beat him; matter of fact I believe that if Lewis comes in at his normal weight he wont get so tired so quick and it's all over for Klitschko. But he has plenty of money (or so I thought) and a new family to foucs on, and he did go out on top!

The only reason, Lewis was so heavy was he was fighting a guy who was heavy and wanted to use his weight to lean on him and take away the hand speed kirk johnson possessed.

Vitali was in tip top shape, he was fighting a hot prospect in Boswel who posed a threat at the time.

Lewis, was prepared for Johnson, Vitali was a different man and would require a different training regimen. Vitali was prepared for a lewis'esque type fighter.

Do you realy think he was prepared for LL while he was supposed to fight boswell????

LL is in an completly different league than boswell, LL was preparing for johnson, so logically LL should have been in better shape than Vk cause he was preparing for a better fighter

I see some of the concept of what you're talking about...
BUT.. at the same time, champions become champions by doing what they do best.. the minute they change what they do, they LOSE.
I don't think there's ever a reason for a HW champ to not be at his best, and in my opinion is NOT fat/overweight, doesn't muscle weigh more? isn't fat bad for many other conditining aspects? I don't think LL would allow being fat as a part of his preparation, but I could be wrong.

[Pno]

True, but I cant see him being bought. He's been in the business way too long, I just dont buy it

so WK blamed Sousa for the loss to Brewster?
they blamed him as the inside man that sabotaged the water bottle? is that right?
I'm just curious, I didn't know he was blamed, and I didn't think that there was a cut in that fight.

It's easier to come in a few pounds heavier with fat than with muscle. Lennox did just that, I dont think he trained like a champion for the preparation of Johnson, but I do believe he was going to come in heavier due to him fighting a smaller guy and he could use his weight to press against him.

without manny on his side can he win??? i doubt it, he'll tell klitschko all of lewis's flaws, every one of them. who's lewis gona get buddy mcgirt, no disrespect to buddy, u my boy, but starting off with a new trainer at age 39, past ur prime, and taking on a 6'9 250 pound giant is a hard situation

[MlLkMan]

Too much money to turn down.
