WagerWeb : WILL LENNOX LEWIS COME OUT OF RETIREMENT IN 2004 ?
(Zapote, Costa Rica, 28 April 2004) - In all honesty, the heavyweight division in boxing is in shambles. It does not matter how many ears Mike Tyson bites off, or how many low blows Andrew Golotta will throw before he prevents a boxer from having children. Ever since undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis retired late last year, there really has been no true excitement or star in the division.
It was thought that the brothers Klitchsko, Vitali and Vladimir, were the future of the division, but with Vladimir's disgusting and embarrassing loss to Lamon Brewster recently, that fantasy is over. Evander Holyfield, at the age of 40, is still claiming to be a contender, and even 55 year-old, George Foreman, is considering a 3rd comeback to the ring. Will any of those fading superstars save the division? The short answer is no.
What will save the division is the return of the King, none other than the man many feel has been the greatest overall champion in the division since Ali, Lennox Lewis. Of course, Lewis might not have the power of Tyson, or even the stamina of Holyfield, but in his career, Lewis defeated everyone he had to on the way to his goal of unifying the heavyweight title.
At the age of 34, Lewis is still young, especially compared to Holyfield and Foreman, and his skills are far from fading. This is an important time in the division and there would be no better time for Lewis to return than now, when there is no united voice amongst the heavyweight ranks.
"Lewis simply was the best overall heavyweight of the last generation," said WagerWeb.com, Dan "The Man "Johnson. "Sure, there might have been more purely talented boxers, but when you look back at his career, it is nothing short of amazing. The division needs him badly. The real question is this; does Lewis care enough about boxing to accept the mantle to save it, at least for the time being?"
