        Lennox Lewis would get murdered if he comes back. First off, he has to get back into shape. At or near 40, not having fought in 2 years, and having only fought 2 times in 4 years, he would get killed. He wasn't one of the all time greats, maybe a 2nd tier heavyweight when juxtaposed against Ali and Marciano. I think he is on the second tier, right along Tyson and Holyfield. If he would've KO'ed Tyson in his prime, he would've been one of the all time greats no doubt about it, top 5. In other words, if it was Lennox Lewis in Tokyo, and not Douglas, Lewis would be a ****ing legend right alongside of Ali and Marciano.

          Bowe walked out of the ring after the 1st Bowe Holyfield fight right by Lewis who was doing commentary. Lewis confronted Bowe and Bowe clearly looked intimidated. He promised Lewis, on camera, that he'd fight him next. He didn't. Lewis continued calling Bowe out for some time, to no avail.

          Later, Lewis was made Bowe's mandatory for his title.

          What transpired was infamous:



          He threw his title away to avoid facing Lewis.

          Bowe was afraid to fight Lewis as a pro. His actions spoke for themselves.

          oh man.....I know Lewis woulda murdered Bowe eitha way. Lewis was too skilled.

          this is cowardice in part of Ri****.

            I didn't realize the greatness of Lewis until he retired.He would be competitive with any hw in history imo.I think he should stay retired.If he came back and lost it would hurt his legacy it's not worth it.
