    He didn't duck Ruiz but he just didn't want to be hugged and held.

    Huh? Steward said that about Bryd not Ruiz. Lewis fought underfeated Grant who beat Golata (same Golata that was robbed vs Ruiz). Lewis could have fought Ruiz if Ruiz look great vs Johnson in which Ruiz barely survive thanks to Johnson being a ****** for nailing Ruiz low repeatally. <<That wasnt even close of looking good in that fight. Lewis wanted to face fighters that isnt scared like crazy to get hit.

    The Klitschkos as beltholders never fought any of DK's beltholders because DK demanded 3 fight options and refused 50/50 splits. People forget that Don King is the grandfather of slave contracts.

    You nailed it. They once said something to the effect that they would never fight a multifight contract with DK fighters. A rematch clause is one thing, but joing the circle jerk that became the WBA while King controlled it was not an option.

    Exactly. Ruiz was King's way to control the WBA title. He picked him up off the regional circuit, got him ranked, and got officials to look the other way while Ruiz CHEATED to get "wins" he could never get within the rules, because he had all the talent of a high grade clubfighter.

    Either Klit would have destroyed this cheating fraud.

    Couldn't be any worse than Haye vs Valuev or Haye vs Harrsion.

    Because neither brother has no inside game, none. And they didn't want to be exposed by a future David Haye victim.

    Lewis or Klits fighting Ruiz is like you're driving a nice car and some guy in a Civic wants to race you.

    Not worth the gas, especially with King involved.
