      That's not what happened at all. Bowe didn't duck Lewis His manager Rock Newman was involved and they had a gripe that Bowe had beaten the undefeated Holyfield and was supposed to face Lewis when Razor Ruddock somehow got into the mix to fight Lewis.

      Bowe fought Holyfield 3 times and finally the last time KOd him . That's not a guy who would duck anyone.

      The Belt that Bowe threw into the garbage was purely for the photographers and he took it out after the Press had got their pictures. There was more to it, Read up on it I'm sure it will be on the internet, but read an unbiased account, not one by Lewis himself who was always very biased towards himself.

          You think Lennox was prime ?
          After all the talking Mike was doing, I'd brag too.

            Lennox Lewis overrated? You guys just say anything on this forum...Go look at his resume & what he’s done in the heavyweight division, then think about what you just said.

              What made him out of prime? Getting caught by Rahman a few fights before? I still think he didn't take that one seriously.

                If anything he's underrated. Not among informed boxing fans, but causals. Even if you don't think he's the best head to head fighter you absolutely have to have him in the top 5.

                  By boxing dorks? Maybe.

                  By casuals & sports fans? Hell nah he's definitely underrated by the masses.

                    Neither were prime. Lennox had a tougher list of opponents that would have retired Mike.

                      sure theres an argument he even displaces holmes at number 3, who also had 2 losses too at the same stage.
