    Vitaliy and Lennox II: negotiations are on.

    This is what I have read at a Russian news site (lenta.ru), which is a respectable news agency.

    I dont believe it.

    I just cant see Lewis after all this time wanting to make a comeback. For at reason?

      lewis is too heavy and old now

      he vitali in the first fight and always would have done

      the supposedly glass chinnned lewis took his best and Vitali got cut by Lennox

      Klitschko caught lewis on his worst night and couldnt beat him

        This is a fight that would do neither of them any favours.

        Although I thought at the time Vitali looked unfortunate to get pulled out, in retrospect he probably would have been stopped by Big Len in the next few rounds in all honesty. The fact that he was pulled out elevated his reputation, a reputation he squandered after his body began to collapse - the result of shockwaves from Danny Williams's chin - and he retired. One of the biggest wastes of potential in recent times IMO.

        So he comes back and gets stopped legitimately by Big Len? All the "what might have beens..." are pissed down the drain.

        Or even worse, Big Len's eternal struggle to get on the bottom of the top 10 all-time heavies list (which I honestly believe is down to the fact that he likes a cup of tea and biscuits, I really do) is forever vanquished as the big fatty gets sparked by Big Klit.

            I've heard numerous times that Lennox Lewis says he never wants to fight again.

                Lewis must be getting paid north of 40 million.

                He said he wouldn't fight for any less, he turned down 21 million to rematch Vitali the first time round - when he was actually involved in boxing, I can't see him getting paid 40+ million for a comeback against another retired fighter.

                  Beating a 40+ years old Lewis will prove NOTHING... And whatever leagcy Vitali has.. would be shot Should he lose... SIGH!
