I'm bored by this.

Lewis is 43 ten years removed from his physical peak.

You can talk about Foreman all you like, he came back aged 40 and took nigh on five years to get to Moorer.

Just because there are lots of failures still trudging around aged 37-44 throws a veil over Lewis' age.

A heavyweight contender aged 43 is sham. Dont be fooled by the retreads still trying clamber to the top of a mountain Lewis ruled, mostly, for a decade.

It is only the fact there are so many old contenders that makes 43 not seem too old.

Lewis is a fossil, leave him to enjoy the fruits of his career.

Get behind Haye, Povetkin, Dimintrenko etc and find some new blood to gravitate too.

Yes I would bet against it. Lewis would laugh at it too.

The fight wouldn't sell as well as Bowe v Golota III or Holyfield v Tyson III.

Lewis could probably beat Holyfield, Mercer, Golota, Bowe and McCall on the same night with six weeks prep.

Doesn't mean he should, would.

Agreed....

..and Waylon, Lewis had the momentum and Klitschko was blowing out of his arse. Lewis was ill-prepared but he still weathered the storm and with his pedigree would have stopped Klit anyway.

As it was he beat him fair and square. He should not come back, his legacy is strong and secure, having beaten every man he ever faced as a pro.
