Pathetic thread. As much as i like Lewis, he did avoid Byrd. I don't really think Byrd had a chance and the Vitali Klitschko fight gave a million times the excitement, but fact is that Lewis didn't want him. He pulled up an article (3 actually) that favored his "half assed" argument because he was right. Take your mistake like a man.
this is the internet loser, i dont have to admit anything even if you did prove me wrong, its not like im talking to you man to man. im arguing with you via cyberspace. seriously, get a life. its not that big of a deal
I mean to say he ducked him when he's fought better comp is quite outlandish its self dont ya think...Why would Lewis duck Byrd when he's fought stiffer comp. than Byrd...Its more like the politics of boxing didnt allow this fight to happen...For whatever reason the fight didnt happen, we will never know the exact truth, but a duck is far from the reason!
or better yet, acknowledge the fact this is an argument over the internet and not throw such a hissy fit over something so stupid. you internerds are taking this crap way too seriously, my god.
exactly, mainstream boxing fans are so quick to assume that just because a boxer they dont like ducked someone simply because they never stepped in the ring with them is stupid. im no klitschko fan but im not gonna say he ducked hasim rahman simply because vitali didn't square off against him.
Lennox did not fight him so he dumped his IBF so he didnt fight Byrd and the WBA so he didn fight Ruiz so he could fight Mike Tyson in a PPV Blockbuster
this is the worst klit fan quote ever. it's true, it's not ridiculous and it's certainly not funny. leave this stuff to fightingweight my man: at least he's good at it
Lewis opted to drop his belts rather than face Ruiz or Byrd in favor of facing Grant and a washed up Mike Tyson. Those are the facts. I do not think Lewis was scared of Byrd or Ruiz, but for sure they would have been tougher fights for him. Lewis went for the money here. Ok--but he ran from a huge payday and re-match with Vitali. If there is something you disagree with in this post, go for it.
How is Mongoose the loser ? You're the guy who started the thread and tried to engage in a little-Klit bashing here, and failed when he cited three articles that completely contradicted you. That's called losing. It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. It's there for all to see. WTF are you trying to say here ? Are you trying to say that you're less wrong because it's on the internet than if you were having a face-to-face and got owned ? If that's your case, why bother posting anything about anything ? It's just the internet, and you're not wrong, even when you are clearly proven so by the facts ??? It's a tiny deal, admittedly. But YOU started the affair with an ill-considered post that left you looking foolish. I only see one poster here throwing a 'hissy-fit.' And that's because he got shown up. Like you say, it's no big deal. But you're the one making the deal about it. And, in this instance at least, you're in no position to do so. Take ChrisPontius' (definitely not a Klit fan) advice and man up.
The Klitschko brothers are anything but clumsy & neither one is anything close to slow. Pedestrian heavyweights? Are you ****in' serious? **** like that proves you know nothing of boxing. Please keep it up, this way everyone will know how little you know.
