Lennox Lewis to fight Klitschko
 

Found this on Yahoo Sports

Former heavyweight champion of the world Lennox Lewis is set to make a comeback after reportedly receiving an offer of nearly $40 million to fight heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko. "I'm making a comeback later this year," Lewis told the Sunday Mirror. "I need the money just like everyone else.

This should be a huge fight.

hoyl shit fucking awesome yes praise god

Holy fuck! Klitschko better rock him.

Lennox Will Win!!!

Go Lewis!!!

If this is true, then this is BIG HUGE news.

Go Lennox!

I bet he will this time for sure

It sounds like Lewis is just coming back for the money. I don't think he will have the intensity needed to beat Klitschko.

i want front row seats

money is a strong motivator...i am sure he will train 100% for that one

Hell, I'd fight them both at the same time for $40 million. As long as I didn't die after the first and only punch, it would be a nice payoff.

He needs the money just like everyone else?

Now that will be an awesome fight

"I need the money like everbody else" :1orglaugh

$40 million??? Damn right I need that money too! :1orglaugh

Will be a great fight... if he's fit, I think he'll retake the title.

this would be an awesome fight, he knows he got his ass kicked in their last fight and now that he knows everyone know he bitched out and retired, he can't bare it anymore and is going to take his chances.

He'll most likely get destroyed like Tyson did when he thought he could still play with the big boys. Fucking idiot boxers.

He must have been hanging around with Latrell Spreewell lately.

Stupid fuck. A economic advisor is what he needs. He will smoke those 40 mill away in a month

Rock,

$40 million is a helluva drug.

I would rather die after the first punch, than after 12 rounds of pounding only to be killed during the last one at the bell.

I have always said i will train so hard in boxing, and try to get to one of the big fights, take one punch and call it a day.



This is great news though if it is true.

Klitschko is gonna destroy the fuck outta Lennox, he wont be beaten for years to come.

I don't know about this now. Don't sleep on Lewis.

ESPN posted this about Lewis retracting his statement:

"I want to reiterate what I said when I retired in February 2004 that I was fortunate to leave the sport on my own terms and that I will be one of the few heavyweight champions in history to retire on top and stay retired," he said.

Do you think this is just a bargaining position?

The problem is that you might be alive, but have brain damage :winkwink:

It may be, you never know.

Yeah, this is the scarey part. :(

I think that is why i dropped the glove and picked up a keyboard and mouse. :thumbsup

Tyson was a completely different fighter than Lennox . Tysons style was aggressive street fighter type(they are not known for thier longevity) whereas Lennox is a technical fighter like Mohamod Ali (I''m not saying he's as good as Ali though)

If Lennox trains for it I would put my $$ on Lennox.

That's gonna be a dam good fight.

Sounds like a good one! :thumbsup

NEWSFLASH: Lennox is not coming back.

USATODAY

:Oh crap
Thats too bad, I was really looking forward to it.

he'd get his ass kicked. that's why.

Lennox Lewis was one of the highest paid sportsman ever. He is still in good health. Why risk it for cash he probably doesnt need. Actually the college he runs for under priviledged kids in East London must cost a fortune....

Seems as though he does need the cash....Lennox rocks , instead of spunking all his money on bollocks he has spent it on helping others.

this time klitschko will knock him out

:thumbsup

I wanna buy some ad space on Lexis' back.

Bad move. Klitschko, will beat him down..

Thanks for the info guys.

He said he come be ready in 6 months... My ass.
