    Because there was no demand for the fight. Unless you can prove otherwise with some kind of articles or links with fans wanting to see this fight. And because Butterbean only fought past 4 rounds twice in his career and only once past 6 rounds and that was against Larry Holmes in Holmes' last career fight when Holmes was 52. Tyson fought McNeely because it was his first fight coming out of prison and it was an easy tuneup before eventually fighting major belt holders in the heavyweight division. And if you wanna talk being known for something, all Butterbean is known for by casuals is knocking out pro wrestler Bart Gunn at Wrestlemania 15 because nobody even remembers the names of any of his other victims, except maybe Peter McNeely and that's only because he fought Mike Tyson. Other than that, all Butterbean is known for being is that fat bald guy who fights 4 rounders and knocks out nobodies. Just like Kimbo Slice in MMA. The difference is you can't keep hiding behind only crappy competition in MMA and actually have to fight at least a decent contender eventually.

    So the short answer is because it wasn't a duck at all. Unless you can show us where Bean was ever ranked in the top 10 by the WBC, WBA, IBF or The Ring. And yes, I know you named other people who were given title fights who were unranked but like I said, they fought more than the 4 round professional minimum many times.
    There was no demand for Floyd Macgregor. Look how that did.

    There was no demand for Lennox Louis to fight most of the bums he fought. He still fought them anyway. For far less money than he would have got for a Bean fight.

    And to say "no demand hur dur" is a disingenuous and cowardly statement in itself.

    Are you actually trying to suggest the fight wouldn't sell?
    LMAO!!

    I notice you conveniently left out Beans iconic KO win against Jackass. Which has been viewed several million times.

    Rankings are based on popularity and bribes. So why even mention it?

    Darrin Morris was moving up the ranking despite only fighting once in three years against a guy who was 17-59-5.
    Also he was dead.

    Look up Al Raymi.

    What did Lomo do to earn a title shot?

        This idiot does not even know how to spell Lewis. Yet you will believe his BS about the Bean being superior to Lennox. I fought on a card with the Bean. He was shorter than me as well as abundantly fatter.

        You are, at best, the dumbest troll to ever disgrace this site Rick Taylor, take your BS somewhere else. Like the short bus where your threads originated.........Rockin'

                Lennox had a glass chin and no heart.

                If Bean is such an easy fight why did Louis duck him?

                Why would he miss out on a huge payday unless he was afraid of being knocked out?
