I wouldn't expect you to be able to read between the lines.
Vitali was owning Lewis the first half of the fight before his eye opened up. It's a win for Lewis, but if Vitali had it his way he'd have finished the fight and had a great chance of winning.
I'm ill inclined to "read between the lines" when a statement is absurd at face value :|

Thats Vitali's fault, he should of worked on his D a bit more.
He fought a much better version of Ruddock and he shattered his face. At least Tyson made it interesting and exciting when he battered weak opposition, unlike Lewis
Ruddock went 19 rounds against Tyson and was the favourite to beat Lewis with all the bookmakers (who, let's be fair, know a **** load more about sport than you do, because their livelihoods depend on it).
and Lewis spectacularly knocked Ruddock out in two rounds.
Bowe:
I have posted this on another thread and I going to assume you missed it so I will post it again.
Bowe was not Holyfield's WBC mandatory, Razor Ruddock was, which means that Evander was under no obligation to fight him or offer him a fair deal.
After winning the court case so that he was free to defend his belt against Bowe, the WBC had an elimination bout to decide who would be the no 1 wbc mandatory between Lewis and Ruddock, Lewis won
Lewis was Bowe's WBC mandatory, so he had to cut Lewis a more fair deal like ,60/40.
After beating Holyfield Bowe fought a washed up Dokes and a washed up Ferguson, so I think we can safely say he wasnt looking for tough fights. And as you can see after beating Holyfield he didnt want to train anymore, which is why Futch eventually left him.
Holyfield:
Lewis wanted to fight Holyfield but he lost to Bowe, he finally did get his shot and we all know what happened there.
Tyson: Tyson paid Lewis step aside money if I remember correctly, Tyson only wanted to fight easy fights as well which is why he fought Holyfield and look how that played out.
Byrd:
Lewis couldnt motivate himself to fight someone like Byrd, so he vacated the IBF belt. You dont really believe that Byrd would of beat Lewis do you? Lewis was at least as good as the K bros and they both gave Byrd fits.
If Lewis was the real reason for the Bowe Lewis fight not happening dont you think it would of made more sense for the WBC to simply drop Lewis from the mandatory spot, rather than strip Bowe?
You've got a lot of patience man. Unfortunately all the facts and logic in the world are not enough if people don't wanna hear it.
