The retired, and last undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Lennox Lewis believes if he comes out of retirement to fight Wladimir Klitschko, it would make more money than Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao.

Speaking to the BBC Radio, Lewis stated: "If I came out of retirement now and boxed Wladimir Klitschko I'm sure we'd make more money because we're heavyweights and command a lot more attention. People love heavyweights."

Now before anyone wonders, Lewis is NOT hinting at a comeback. In fact he told the program regarding coming out of retirement: "I have dreamt about it... then woke up and talked myself out of it."

INTERESTING TID BIT(es) ON LEWIS:

- In the lead up to their fight in the summer of '02, Mike Tyson had to pay Lewis $335,000 out of his purse for biting him at the news conference.

- On the Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson undercard: Manny Pacquiao KO'ed Colombia Jorge Eliecer Julio in the second for the IBF junior featherweight title.

- Lewis vs. Tyson ended in Round 8. With 47 seconds left the 8th; Tyson was hit with a heavy right cross from Lewis, knocking him to the canvas and down for the second time in the round. As Tyson lied on his back, he was counted out by the ref (2:25 mark). Lewis was declared the winner by KO.
