    You mean the once-defeated Tony Tucker, who he knocked down for not only the first but the first and second time in Tucker's career?

    What sort of a comment is that :huh:silly

    Your imbecility has knocked me for six.

    Do you think Bowe said those words because they came off his wiki page?? :rofl:nut

    This statement came off the wiki page of Lennox Lewis



    I changed the front to a nice and bright green color. Hope that makes the situation a little easier for you to comprehend .

    Yes. Like l've got nothing better to do then to post fake links just to confuse some child playing on the internet. Obviously these comments were posted on both of these sites which only bolsters my point.

    Here is the whole of that paragraph from the Wiki page of Rid**** Bowe.

    Try reading it in the context it was written. The offer is described as absurd in and of itself. It does not credit the absurd description to Maloney at all. Furthermore it adds that Maloney rejected the second offer on the grounds of his distrust of the Bowe camp citing the first lot of negotiations as the cause of his distrust.

    You can try to spin it anyway you like but the offer was indeed absurd, and the bottom line is Bowe dumped his belt rather than face Lewis across a ring for the second time.

    Bowe dumped the belt because he was going to be stripped. No other reason.
    Lewis camp reject fight. End of. Debate over.

    I'm perfectly happy with what is written on BOWE'S Wikipedia page, which is what I posted above. Your interpretation of it is of no consequence at all as far as I am concerned. Bowe and Newman made a desultory offer of 90 - 10 in Bowe's favour, thus creating the duck. The trouble is it back fired on them, leaving the gutless Bowe no other option but to surrender the belt.

    As you say debate over.

    90-10 split offer was a deal spanning over two fights. Lewis to make 9 million out of one of them.
    Lewis camp rejected offers left and right. As the B side challenger you DON'T refuse offers. The un written rule in boxing is never turn down a title shot.

    That rule did not compute with Lennox Lewis. He cowardly shielded himself behind the corrupt politics of the WBC and Don King and wormed his way out of an unmerciful beat down at the hands of Big Daddy Bowe.

    he was going to be stripped because he offered Lewis a subpar split in purse (90-10) ??

    Trust me Dino, I would love to see Foxy tarred and feathered but I agree with him on the Lewis Bowe issue.

    Lewis would of used Bowe as his personal fcuk puppet in the ring.

    I'm kidding, its just what I think dude :good
