The only fight Lennox REALLY wanted was the Holyfield fight. But his attempts at Bowe and his earlier attempts with Tyson were half-hearted. At best.

No Foreman and no Moorer for Lewis either.

Ok you're entitled to your opinion like everyone else BUT let me tell you the facts
Lennox Lewis never ducked anyone. I was there when Lennox & a girl in a yellow chicken suit confronted Bowe with CHICKEN BOWE across the front. Bowe refuse to acknowledge them & walked away. Also I met Bowe & Rock Newman in Dallas I asked Newman why they renaged on the Lewis deal. His reply was " Why risk everything against Lewis when we can sell Dokes & Ferguson with very little risk"? Who wasn't interested I wonder.?
Same was Tyson, King paid Lennox $4 mil to step aside with the promise he'd get next shot. The rest is history
When asked about Lennox it was GEORGE said NO!!!! How serious George was but he claimed that night that Lennox was a better fighter than ALI
As for Evander he was indeed a warrior In that notorious Lewis-Holyfield draw debacle I really felt sorry for EVander. When that scorecard of Eugenia Williams was read out as Vander won the fight the most surprised & shocked face belonged to Evander. He knew he didn't win didn't even come close but he had to accept it & act as though he agreed
It was a shame the cloud of suspicion over Evander with the "Evan Fields" steroid conspiracy tarnished his career. Evander was a WARRIOR always gave 100%
