    Well when you pay someone millions of dollars not to fight you, there aint really much argument.

      it was Lewis who turned down the fight snubbing a $35 million + PPV offer from HBO saying he had nothing to prove by fighting a middleweight.

        Again this would be a long argument and I'm too tired right now. I'll debate this with you another day but there is more to it than that. I'm sure you know that as well.

              Jones Jr wanted to fight Tyson. He said it himself.

              Back to your question. Lewis would disrupt Jones' speed advantage by his jab. I don't see how Lewis could lose this.

                  Lewis vacted his IBF belt to avoid facing Byrd, who was his mandatory at the time

                      Yeah, I'm sure it was because he thought he'd lose, right?
