    It's always nice to come back out of retirement to get knock the F#@k OUT.

    Posted this in the Floyd Mayweather thread, and basically said the same thing you did codell. I've never been a fan of Lewis, and he was being destroyed in the first match. If that match would have gone one more round, Lewis was going to get knocked out, remember the way he just flopped on his stool after the last round, he was done.

    Boxing has not been interesting
    since Holyfield showed Tyson for the fraud he was

    what an a**hole, I guess now he gets all the excuses to lose.
    Then, if he wins, it would be like he's so great.

    He needs to just stay retired.

    Unless you're talking about heavyweights, that statement is incorrect.

    Maybe it's just me, but I hope Lewis beats him. I've always been a Lewis fan.

    I can’t understand people who think that Lewis was going to lose the first fight saying he somehow caught a break with the stoppage. Lewis opened a gash that went down to the bone on Klitchko’s head that took surgery and 3+ months to fully heal – seems like a dominating victory IMHO.

    I have heard the rumors, but this quote from the espn article seems very interesting. Is Lennox really gay?
