[WhoreUs]

so do ya'll view his move as cowardly or smart??i mean looking at his post fight confrontation with lewis id think he was down to fight lewis

he was scurred..........

[street bully]

he is canadian.

you brits always trying to claim other nations fighters.

That's true Lewis learned to fight from and fought for the Maple leaf squad.

[ИATAS]

he did duck him, although I'm not sure how big of a deal lennox was at the time.

Regardless, I'm glad he didn't fight lennox at the time because we got one of the best trilogies of all time in Bowe vs holyfield. History I'm sure would have been altered dramatically, for better or worse I dunno.

he is canadian.

Lewis is jamaican, Calzaghe is italian, Khan is from Pakistan, Hamed from Yemen. The list goes on. No real brits.

[BOLLOCKS]

he is canadian.

you brits always trying to claim other nations fighters.

Just like Filipinos with Nonito Donaire.

he grew up and lived in canada.

he fought for the canadian olympic team out of national pride.



that's the maple leaf NOT the union jack.

he fought as a "BRIT" in the pros just for money.

It was a big deal.

There was an agreement that the winner of Lewis-Ruddock would fight the winner of Bowe-Holyfield I.

The boxing world awaited it.

Then Bowe and Newman backed on the agreement and dumped the green belt in the garbage.

It only makes fans mad, it was a smart move on his part.
Lewis vs Bowe wouldn't have been anywhere near as good as Holy vs Bowe became.

I think that it was a question of money. The risk/reward ratio just wasn't there according to Bowe/Newman.

It's the same today with Dawson and Diaconu/Cloud.

Just like Filipinos with Nonito Donaire.

donaire is filipino-american.

the brits only claim the canadian great because all their fighters suck.
