    Former undisputed heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 KO’s) has been speaking out lately about what he perceives to be the sorry state of affairs in boxing today, particularly the heavyweight division. Lewis never misses an opportunity to criticize the present World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (43-2, 40 KO’s).

    Lewis while acknowledging that the Klitschko brothers rule the heavyweight division, bemoans the fact that there has not been any upcoming talent to topple either of the Klitschko’s from their dominance in the heavyweight division. And though he admits that the Klitschko’s are at the top of the heavyweight heap, Lewis can’t help but snipe at them by saying that between them the two brothers don’t know which one is the best fighter. Apparently that is because the Klitschko brothers have staunchly refused to fight each other to determine who is the best between them.

    Lennox boasts that he is continually asked by boxing fans if he plans on making a comeback. Lewis was quoted by Bettor.com saying:

    “People keep asking me if I’m coming back because there’s only one fight out there the Klitschko’s can sell. But unfortunately for them, it’s against a 46 year old who retired 8 years ago and the answer is no, I’m not making a comeback.”

    Considering he retired to avoid ever having to fight one of the Klitschko brothers again, I don't really know why he keeps spouting off about them.
