Vit was ahead on the scorecard in every fight including his two losses. Same with Wlad until doping Fury won the first decision against him.

    There was no big purse to be had vs Byrd whereas both Lewie fights were what fighters fight for most, oodles of money where a powder puncher defensive stinker like Byrd had no big purse nor acclaim.
    Lewis won, he didn't need to take the rematch and chose to not only retire, but stay retired.

    Yes, im sure Timo Hoffman and Orlin Norris brought him bigger purses than a rematch with the guy who beat him on ten days notice. Obviously Byrd brought a big enough purse and acclaim that Wlad fought him twice. Poor Vits ducked the rematch, and Lil bro had to clean up the mess he couldn't.

      - - Lewie had 5 more retirement fights planned after avoiding his mandatories and getting stripped of IBF and WBA. He agreed to rematch in the post fight presser where HBO was going to throw the Bank at the rematch.

      Instead he rested on his French recliner eating bon bons and g****s to blow into blimp proportions for a year. The day before WBC was to strip him, he retired bawling like a sheep that he momma don't let him fight Vit.

      Yeah, he ducked Wlad and his WBO title as well as Vit who went to the US to lobby to fight Bowe/Field/Tyson/Lewie and was turned down.

      While not a crook, Lewie was DKing's boy whom he sold his titles to, ie your kinda crook.

        What do all these lies have to do with Vits not rematching Byrd?

            Nah, just a bunch of lies to save face for your hero, and still has nothing to do with why Vits lost to Byrd and never rematched him. Facts.

              Lewis had 44 fights and faced Ring top ten ranked fighters12 times.Lewis lost twice and beat both those who beat him in rematches
              Vitali had 47 fights and faced Ring top ten fighters 5 times.Vitali never tried to rematch Byrd.
              A 37 years old, out of shape Lewis stopped Vitali and cut his face in 4 places,places that needed 64 stitches to repair them.

                  I actually think a fully focused Steward version of Lewis might have been the most formidable HTH heavy in history.

                  Look what happened to Grant.

                  If Lennox thought an opponent was a genuine threat he totally destroyed them.

                    Hard to say, but I don't think what you've said is a stretch.

                      - - Lewie one punched to Bolivia via Timbuktu vs McCall and Rahman, neither of who come close to Big George.

                      Tucker a spent Tyson era force when George KOed Moorer who was coming off of retiring Field.

                      George always did it his way...yeah!!!
