Gotta respect that.
Yeah, I always wanted to see him fight Lewis. I think Lewis let the IBF belt go instead of fighting him. As much as I liked Lewis, I lost a little respect for him for dodging that one.
i'm pretty sure thats what happen. byrd was lewis's IBF mandatory and lewis wouldn't fight him
Yep. That is what happened. Ruiz dodged him like a bullet also...a shit load of respectful fighters laced up their track shoes after watching Byrd give Tua the issues that he did.

I've always been impressed with Byrd...even though he was a huge grief magnet.
