Lennox Lewis: "I am not returning to the ring!"

[ProBox1]

The paper that apparently "broke" the story was a paper called the Daily Mirror which is a Tabloid paper in England. I would be more likely to believe **********s website than that particular publication.

A tabloid paper with obviously a lot of pull as every single news outlet reported their story, including Fox, ESPN, CBS, AP, Reuters and thousands of others.

just like the tyson story last week, no-one can confirm that either. I've heard he hasn't been to McGirts gym?

He'll be back. Mark my word on it. THey all do. Sure there is the exception like Hagler, and Marciano, but the smart money is on the return. I've watched boxing for many years, there is an old saying, boxers don't retire, they just kind of fade away. Trust me , he WILL be back.

[Pno]

I'm disappointed but at least he is sticking to his word which is more than we can say about him than most people in the boxing business

no matter what he does he'll be sticking to his word..
-if he comes back, he's sticking to it when he told VK he would give him the rematch..
-if he doesn't, he'll be sticking to it when he said he was done..

[Pno]

I would wait until the "official" word that the comeback is dead. I find it hard to believe that Lewis would put himself out there like that. To say he wants to fight Klitschko again and needs the money, only to then say the comeback rumors are false is odd. He started the comeback rumors so it only falls on him.

I'm tellin you!!! It's like they're toying with VK and trying to test his mentality..

"..your dreams are true, no they're not, yes they are, no they're not... now GO GET IN THERE and Fight Rahman!! "

[Fareastwarrior]

He should shut his mouth instead of fooling everyone. That's very unprofessional of a person like Lennox Lewis.

On espn2 during the Eteinne fight, they had confirmed Mike was working out at Mcgirts gym and was even training with Clifford. But who knows how reliable that one is though.

Lennox wont come back, his retirement was formal and the tabloids over here are always coming out with stuff like that. We have heard the prince naseem is coming back about ten times over the last couple of years.

Lennox is not a chicken and anyone who says he is clearly knows nothing about his career, he is on e of the few fighters that avoided noone at any stage. He fought fighters that at the time were thought to be dangerous (tua, grant, klitshko, ruddock, akinwande, golota) at times when other fighters like holyfield would not. In fact i remember reading in magazines like the ring and ko before the tua and grant fights predicting that he was about to lose!

he would be ****** 2 make a comeback, he know that, he dont need the money its a wise choice not to go back in and mess up his reputation its not necessary

heres in quote
''I'm making a comeback later this year. The money is up to 21 million pounds ($39.3 million US) right now and I simply can't turn that much cash down."

now hes not coming back??? good for him, ****** ungrateful bastard
