Does it do anything for LL legacy at all?

Honestly, I'd be shockd shitless if Lennox could get in any sort of shape to fight either of these guys. But if he did I'd give him a good shot at eventually cracking Wlad's china chin. But I think the way Vitali looked in his last fight that if he fights big and uses his jab I'd favor him over LL at this point.
And you gotta guess that Emmanual Steward would be in the corner of Wladimir and I wonder how that would affect Lennox.
As far as Lennox's legacy, if he came back and beat both these guys and throw in Valuev for good measure, then yes his legacy would be increased tenfold.
Especially after being away so long.

If he did that he would probably be #1. That is not going to happen so why speculate on it. Unlike so many uneducated boxers Len will never run short of money.
Unless it was chess boxing because Len loves his chess.

I think he would be at least even with Louis & Ali. No heavyweight has managed to come back & beat the two biggest guns in the sport after such a long layoff. Remember the tail end of Ali & Louis's careers?

He would have to be top 3.
To come back at the age he is and beat two monsters in their prime would be pretty impressive.
Better if he beat them both in one night with one hand. Then he'd be #1.

Archie Moore as a top 10 heavyweight is a joke.
He is one of my favorite fighters ever and an all time great, but not at heavy.
He was an absolute monster at Light heavy and may be #1 there, but nottop 10 at heavy.

But at #2? No way in hell. The only other great fighter he beat was Larry Holmes and Holmes was 137 years old when they were matched up.

Memory serves you just fine. As soon as the 12th round ended Holmes turned around, his cornerman took out his mouthpiece and he spewed right there. Projectile vomit at its most graphic.
Larry did give Holy a tough fight. Cut him bad above the eye with an elbow somewhere in the mid rounds. Summer of 92, a few months before the first fight with Bowe.

After watching this fight, I would have to agree. I think Holy would/will always had/have trouble with guys that had reach advantage and a jab. Guys like Lewis, Holmes, and Bowe...
Ali would have beaten Holyfield.

Agree. I used to go to Larry Holmes gym a while back, he was probably around 50yrs old or so. Man he used to whip on all these young guys all the time, I mean he would like toy with guys. He used to spar alot, it was cool to see, and he was almost always atleast running on the t-mill.
