Please lord! I pray that someone is dumb enough to call out Lennox. I understand he may be 3 stone off fighting weight, but no one in the heavyweight division bar some lighter fighters right on the limit 'David Haye', are anywhere near optimum fighting weight... I think Prince Naseem would rule the heavyweights... Have you seen him lately? .... No... Nor me...

In my opinion lewis should stay retired, instead of banging on about a supposed return, he is way past his peak & definately was NOT one of the greats as far as i am concerned, he was a LAZY fighter, that had a habit of fighting other fighters way, way past their peak-in my opinion MIKE TYSON was one of the last great heavyweights, regardless of his exploits outside the ring he should be remembered for what he did in it. When lewis fought tyson in 2002, yes lewis 'won' but only because tyson was past his peak at 38, if he had fought tyson when he first had the chance (when mike was at his awesome best) 1985-91, lewis would have stood no chance, but as per usual the idiots that run boxing kept the fighters apart, favouring a match when lewis was at his peak-tyson past his, just to make lewis look good, lewis should do what he does best, STAY AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lewis was a great fighter, good fast hands for a big man and great movement. He fought everyone, didnt duck a fight. he got knocked out against McCall for hanging his chin out and it was a great punch. Against Rahman he was too cocky and was filming for Oceans Eleven, and got his commupence. He shouldnt come back though, I guess it shows how bad the heavyweight division is!! David Haye is exciting and can bang, but he will go over when hit.

Don't do it Lennox, you've got a great record having retired as a champion and keep it that way! David Haye deserves his chance of establishing himself as a British world-class heavyweight and should be allowed to do so to show the world what this country still has to offer!

Talk of Lewis coming back is absurd, Lewis was an average fighter at best, he was getting thrashed by Vitali when he got lucky with a cut & he got KO'd by two journeymen. I always thought Lewis was a lazy fighter but he did have decent power. It just makes me laugh when he talks about himself being the last greatest heavyweight! He was an ok boxer end of story. He will get KO'd against the first good fighter he faces. As for him being a character, he has about as much charisma as a slightly retarded penguin!!

Of course I would prefer to see Lennox stay retired because as it stands he is one of the best in history...but let's be honest he is right..If someone offered him 100 million to fight again he would be stupid to turn it down...and he would have a great chance against anyone in the heavyweight's current state..I say "go on Lennox" if someone wants to pay that sort of money

Don't do it Lewis!!!! - People are now starting to recognise that you were one of the true greats. Some even say the best ever. A comeback would not enhance your reputation whatever the result!

Lennox Lewis talking about coming back to bring some credability to the sport, dont make me laugh. At 44yrs old the only reason he would come as we all know would be for the money, Lewis was a good fighter but not a great one, a great champion should know enough not to get KO'd by the likes of Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman, and lets face it Bruno gave him plenty of trouble in Cardiff. Plus Klitschko still looks his fighting weight and very fit. No Lennox, enjoy your money while you've still got your marbles and stay on the beach in Jamaica, and leave it to the real deal DAVID HAYE.
