Ok relax Lewis fans! I am not gonna come here and say Lennox ducked RUIZ, of all people. But I just don't understand why he would rather give up the WBA belt than fight him...yes, Ruiz was an ugly fighter with a boring style, but Lewis has been in such fights before. Why would he lose his undisputed championship rather than fighting Ruiz? I think there might be one reason: Lewis liked to bully his opponents. Ruiz was a bully himself and he was a strong man. Not stronger than Lewis, but Lewis wouldn't be able to bully him as much. I guess he knew from the Golota fight that Michael Grant was a wimp, I mean he got beaten up and bullied by a guy smaller than himself! Thats why he chose to fight Grant instead.

Why Lewis didn't fight Ruiz

Real simple: Grant was HBO's newest overhyped star and there was good money to be made matching him up with Lewis. Who the hell would want to televise a money losing stinker like a matchup with Ruiz? Hindsight maybe 20/20 but at the time Grant was thought of much more highly than Ruiz even by Ring Magazine. Everyone knew Ruiz was a joke and a particularly unwatchable joke at that.
