    Why's that? Are you saying if Bowe wanted the fight, he couldn't have made it happen?

    Seriously, were you even alive back then?

    So now we've reached the gutter with ****phobic comments, that didn't take long. You do realize that he is married, to a woman, and has a couple of kids don't you?

    And I'm saying your dead wrong. If Bowe wanted the fight, he would have made the fight, how hard is that to understand?

    Instead this was his offer:

    The Bowe-Holyfield and Lewis-Ruddock fights were part of a mini-tournament, whereby all four fighters agreed the two winners would meet each other for the undisputed world heavyweight championship. Bowe's manager Rock Newman made a proposal: the $32 million purse HBO was offering should be split 90-10 in Bowe's favor, an 'absurd' offer which Lennox Lewis rejected. Lewis's manager, Frank Maloney, rejected another offer of two million for Lewis to fight on a Bowe undercard, citing his distrust of the Bowe camp after the aforementioned financial negotiations. Bowe responded by holding a press conference in which he dumped the WBC world heavyweight championship belt into a trash can rather than fighting Lewis

    So you think a 90-10 split is fair in a 4 man tournament for the heavyweight championship of the world, in which only two fighters are left?

    All I can say, is that you obviously don't have a business degree.

    Typical Lewis propaganda

    Lewis ducked Bowe and used the media to make it look otherwise

    Now if this hadn't come from Bowe's Wikipedia site, you might begin to have a point.

    I still don't see any kind of rebuttal from you, I guess if the truth is inconvenient, you simply ignore it.

    You're the one ignoring the truth

    Lewis was a nightmare match up and Bowe knew hence why he avoided him. Bowe defence was terrible by any standard Lewis would be tagging him throughout and eventually stop him.

    No he just got KTFO by his little SISTER. This so called tough guy even took weapons with him when he kidnapped his own fukin wife and a couple of small kids. Yeah sure, he would really frighten Lewis. :roll::roll::nut
