We can argue about it, just remember to blame the argument on Lewis. He did indeed duck Byrd, there is no argument there. Say Byrd didint deserve a shot? I reckon Vitali did then. Oh wait no Byrd beat him.
Nah,he is just getting in his prime,the George fight showed that in 2 years he can take the big boys at 175
i dunno he just tried to walk his man down....no reason at all he did that before against wlad...and well that didnt go too well either. he was an outside slickster why was he covering up and moving into the guy, absolutly crazy. use his jab and use his speed (dont care if he was fightign at 160 for his whole career...he had speed ) and i dunno if shot is the right word but his best days are way way way way behind him. he coudl prolly get a few good wins and maybe one last pay day for some light heavy wanting to say they koed a heavywieght champion.
Not only shot, but de-feathered, dressed, split into halves and quarters, roasted until golden brown, and then served with a side order or rice pilaf, stuffing, mashed potatoes and cheesy broccoli. Oh yeah, and a diet coke.
