Comments Thread For: Lennox Lewis, Hatton Plead With De La Hoya To Stay Retired

[MisanthropicNY]

If Lennox Lewis came out of retirement, He would knock out Tyson Fury with a jab.

He wouldn't even need to land the jab... Tyson would be so overly cautious, he'd KO himself...

[ironmike2012]

If he fights GGG he gets hurt. Maybe he should fight Mosley or Trinidad, they have unsettled business, plus the fights could go either way. The way Manny beat him into submission, would make any prime fighter come out blazing to get the KO, why not?

WTF is DLH talking about SRL and Hagler? Hagler never fought at 42, he retired once and for good in his 30s like Lewis, the exact opposite of what DLH is wanting to do. I dont remember SRL's final age when he retired, but he was shot as **** in his fights in the 90s.

They sure DLH is sober?

Would love to see DLH-Khan or DLH-GGG though.... These 2 fights would be wars. And DLH has a good left hook. At 154 or even 160, he can bring some pop.

Don't talk like a buffoon with the triple ggg match up...he would get seriously hurt and broke down into pieces and the fall out after would be vey bad for boxing......de la hoya mentions leonard and hagler....leonard was 30 and hagler 32......they was not beaten up by Pacquaio and stopped easily.....he should not be granted a license to box again for medical and past drug and alcoholic abuse....and if he is only trying to be the sacfraficial lamb to stop canelo from having to face golovk then he is a very ****** rich man indeed....he will suffer a severe beating and its gonna end bad

Are you under the impression that time stands still? Oscar was slipping visibly when he was an active fighter 7 years ago. Right now Khan toys with him and GGG walks right through him. It wouldn't be pretty either.

Well past his sell-by date, but still probably beats Khan.

If ODLH has a come back he's phuking idiot. He was past his prime and on a downward slope back then. Add booze, coke and depression to that and it's a total car crash. Craving attention is not the sign of a healthy mind. If he wants to get back in the ring he should start getting hands on as trainer, and re-employ Schaefer to do the job he was great at.

for the love of God listen to Lennox and Ricky

If this was Oscar of a decade ago maybe, but there's no way he could fight against those guys competitively anymore. I think it's crazy to actually want to see a once great fighter step into the ring and look sluggish and possibly get really hurt. This comeback is more likely to result in feeling humiliated than it is to result in a career rejuvenation.
