    Bowe was supposed to fight Ray Mercer - Mercer ****ed up his shot by losing to Ferguson. You know that one was not part of their plan. And, a Holyfield rematch was worth a lot more at the time. :nod If your guy could draw flies to a picnic, the fight woulda happened.

    Oh, and if you are really a member of the Lewis camp, you should also be well aware that a fight with Bowe was in the works for early '95 before Lewis went and got KOd by McCall.

    There was NEVER a legit offer for Lennox to fight Bowe. In fact Newman offered a paltry $3mil for Lennox to fight . Lennox surprised Newman by accepting it but Newman had already withdrawn the offer surprise surprise LOL.
    Bowe was a disgrace he wouldnt even train for the great Eddie Futch

    I would like to know the story of the love triangle between you, Evander, and Lennox. What did Lennox do to earn so much hate from you? And what did Evander do to earn the opposite? Struggle with past their prime 40 year olds? Struggle with Bobby Czyz? Get in a classic trilogy with John ****ing Ruiz?

    Lewis only took one fight step aside money and then DID press for the Tyson fight. Tyson vacated rather than face him. THAT IS A FACT.

    The Bowe fight was in the works in early 1995 because Bowe didn't have anywhere to go and then, guess what? He pulled out again.

    Holyfield did not get more money for Moorer II either. He took it because 1) He could settle a score and 2) It was less risk.

    Holyfield and Tyson only came to Lewis when they had nowhere else to look for a payday. When they had something to lose in the 90's they avoided him. THAT IS A FACT.

    But hey, at least they took him in the end. Chicken Bowe never had the gonads as he knew he would be KTFO.

    Greg Rudsedski was born in Canada. Lennox Lewis was born in the UK and lived there until the age of twelve.

    If you think that's the same thing, fine. Personally I considered myself British at the age of 12...

    This is correct. Good post.

    If these yankie doodle dandies were shipped off to Mongolia at age 12, they'd still expect to be classed as American. But if anyone else moves somewhere for a few years they suddenly lose their nationality.

    So I take it you didn't see the Golota or Grant fights.

    Ahhh.. who cares. :roll:

    I'm over arguing with haters. Haters just hate, regardless of any facts. It's your job, right? :roll:
