Only Lewis needed from the 90's generation.

Well, within a few days of each other both Ray Mercer and Michael Moorer have announced returns to the ring - both scheduled to fight before the years end.
With Riddick Bowe, Evander Holyfield, Oliver McCall, Henry Akinwande, Mike Tyson (in exhibitions so far) all back or coming back that leaves really Lewis (thankfully) not making a return. I have discounted the likes of Bruno, Botha, Seldon (who is back though) etc.
At least Boecrusher Smith, who is promoting this Mercer comeback, has the right idea. He wants the fighters over 35 fighting each other and not getting beaten up by youngster's not good enough to carry their jockstrap in their prime.
He's looking for Mercer vs Bowe in the future.
I would like to see a senior circuit and a senior championship - with only the senior champion eligable to fight for the title proper. I think it would make the sport a little more interesting.

As for Lennox Lewis ...he invested his money wisely and retired as the UNDISPUTED HW CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
he dosnt need to comeback
he ripped the heart out of american boxing THATS WHY MERCER AND MOORER CAN STIL GENERATE INTEREST TODAY
THE ONLY HOPE FOR THE US IS TO MAKE CHRIS ARREOLA FIGHT FOR NOTHING.....AND DONT FEED HIM FOR 3 DAYS B4 a fight ....guaranteed he'll beat anyone
