Nope. But it isn't his fault few highly rated boxers declined the IBF mandatory fight with him while not taking anything else in the process.
I don't care. Lewis and Holmes are a coin toss for Top 3/4 HW ever spot for me. If you rate Lewis higher than Holmes, cool. I may agree with you 3...

Remember why he fought relatively unknown Zhang in August 2022? There were like 5 IBF rated heavyweights that didn't want to fight him for the...
Single strapper, but had the lineage of the other belt twice over. Not to mention the real lineage.
He did beat guys who beat these guys tho. Thomas came along later stage of Holmes' career when he indeed was cherry picking. You can say he ducked...
It was a low blow according to the rules of boxing, lol.
