Lewis ducked Byrd. gave up one of his belts rather than fight him, that's a duck. what makes it funny to me is that he called Bowe a coward and said Bowe disrespected the sport of boxing by giving up his belt rather than face him. then he turns around and does the same thing when Byrd became the #1 contender. kinda hypocriticle don't you think?
oh yea he was real scared of Byrd after what Wlad done to him
still doesn't take away the fact that he did the axact same thing he berated Bowe for doing. Byrd was a bad matchup for him. any fighter that showed movement and didn't stand there and let him tee off, gave him a lot of problems. Lewis was never good at moving his feet and cutting off the ring. McCall, Rahman, and a washed up Holyfield who for some reason took him 24 rounds proved that. not saying Byrd would have beat him but his style made Lewis avoid him.
