He's not as good as the Klitschko brothers, though

Tom

Vladimir Klitschko challenged him to a game, but apparently he didn't accept.  I guess he thought since Vitaly pounded his face in, Vlad would do the same on the chess board.

Lennox was the superior fighter. He was controlling the scene and after he left, the boxing scene looks like a school yard. There is right now, no real figure capable of inflicting fear or respect! Lennox is probably the last great fighter.

lol all you want, Lewis was losing on the cards.  That picture does not tell the story.  Vitaly was winning 58-56 on all 3 judges scorecards, then Lewis swiped Vitaly's face with his thumb and cut him open, then took a few punches at the cut and thats why it looks so devastating.  Go watch the fight and you will see Vitaly owned Lewis.  Lewis was slouched in his seat by the 5th round, huffing and puffing.  And to top it off, Lewis didn't give Vitaly a rematch.  He knew better.

I disagree, Vladimir is the top fighter in the world and he could take Lenox anyday if Lenox hadn't retired.   If he didn't retire, he knew he was going to have to face Vladimir.

thanks to all for replying i hear lenox will get back in the ring if the money is right.

Lennox got lucky that he gave Vitali the cut, if the cut was not made Vitali would have won at least by points, because he was already winning by points. The chances of getting cuts twice are not big, if they fought again the cut probably would not happen and Vitali would win.

About that Lewis vs Klitschko fight....were you all watching a different fight? Lewis won that fight....to say that he was losing on points until he marked up Klitschko is utter rubbish.....it's like saying that you were a knight and a pawn up against me until I checkmated you.You were ahead on points but who won? Lewis took out Tyson and Holyfield (all fighters as opposed to boxers) and Bowe wouldn't fight him so who was the fighter and who the boxer? Lewis never ducked ANYONE and there's an end to it.

Lewis' chess reputation has just taken a battering with a pretty dire loss against Dominic Lawson today on BBC Radio 4;
