By Scott Gilfoid: In an article in The Ring Magazine, former heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis says he thinks the Klitschko brothers should fight. “I understand their mother doesn’t want to see them fight, but this isn’t tennis.

By Jim Dower: If it isn’t already obvious by now to all boxing fans, let me be the one to tell you, Lennox Lewis won’t be making a comeback to the sport now or probably ever and the fans that are hoping for him to come back really need to give it a much needed [...]

By Aaron Klein: If talking is all it would take to get Lennox Lewis to come back, then WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko would have had his long hoped for bout against Lewis long ago.

Now that a little time has gone by since Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 KOs) has been out of boxing, I thought it would be an interesting idea to speculate how “The Lion” would have done against today’s top heavyweight champions – Wladimir Klitschko, Sultan Ibragimov, Ruslan Chagaev and Samuel Peter.
