Haye won't beat Vitali - Lennox

David Haye should forget about ending his career with a bout against WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko, according to Lennox Lewis.

Haye has confirmed he is willing to delay his retirement, scheduled for October, by six months if Vitali or brother Wladimir agree to fight him.

Vitali responded by saying he would love to knock Haye out, leaving the rivals on a collision course for a bout in early 2012.

But having watched Vitali crush Tomasz Adamek who, like Haye, is a former cruiserweight world champion, Lewis doubts whether Haye has any chance of victory.

"At this point, Vitali is untouchable and I cannot see anyone who would be able to [beat him]," Lewis told boxingscene.com.
