That's just not true. But if you provide a source where Lennox lets the public know about his plans, do it.
I don't need to. Lennox wasn't planning to drop the IBF belt yet. Matter of fact, he wasn't even the champion when Byrd fought Tua. He only...
Manny wasn't even an unified champion. Floyd wasn't undisputed but he beat the guy who beat the undisputed champion, but the belts were lost in...
I agree. Lineal is all that matters.
Nope. He didn't even fight Mike Tyson yet at that point.
Both shot to bits at this point tho.
Tua was an eliminator to fight Lennox, not Holyfield, but since Lennox vacated Holyfield was put in place to fight for the vacancy.
There was never a window for them to fight to be honest. Maybe early 2023 but that's it.
I recently made similar thread: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/younger-joe-frazier-with-foreman-ii-style.734890/
Spinks didn't fight the prime version of Holmes tho and he lost the second fight.
"Louis is now getting dropped more regularly, honestly it’s only time until he gets put to sleep" - some guy in 1941.
He might have been. He was fired up to get the belt back and we all know in what situation he was in late 2015 with motivation and family issues....
Vitali vs Lennox.
You really want to bring the Holmes fight as an example?
The fact he never mentioned a rematch nor called Byrd about says it all.
