If they had of fought when they were supposed to in 1993,who would have won? Just remember that Lewis was not as good back then, and Bowe had improved a lot since he was an amauter-you dig?. Later brother brolog.

bowe by KO easy lennox lewis sucks overrated peice of garbage

bowe by kayo in 1993, bowe had great chin then and could fight inside and out, lewis's chin would give way fairly early

So why did Bowe duck Lewis? Lewis by UD.

Lewis by late round KO.

why did lewis duck byrd and ruiz?

why did lewis duck byrd and ruiz?

Because he wanted big money fights with Tyson. Who didn't he duck during his last couple of years.

Even Bowe admits that the night of his first fight with Holyfield was the only time in his life he has ever been in really top shape. That night Bowe was great but in general Bowe just....kinda sucks,

I think Bowe would win, as Lewis only became an agruably great fighter in his last few years.

I would say Lewis by late round Ko.

Didnt lewis beat bowe in the ametures?

Didnt lewis beat bowe in the ametures?


yes he did... :cool:

This fight would never have happend in the pros.

Even if Bowe didn't duck Lewis, Lewis's Mommy wouldn't have allowed them to fight.

Lewis by UD.

In my opinion, Lewis had not yet reached his prime when Bowe was in his prime. So if they fought back then, Bowe would probably win by UD. But if we are talking prime v. prime, Lewis takes home the decision.

I agree but think that it would have been a late stoppage win for Bowe.

Bowe by mid-round ko.

Prime for prime i'd say lewis just, but in 93 bowe by late KO his better inside fighting would of been the key

Bowe beat Holyfield 2 times out of 3, and I would take Holyfield in his prime over Lewis 7 times out of 10. Looking at that, and the fact that Bowe truly was a beast in his prime, I would have to give the win to Bowe.

KO round 9.

There had to be a reason Bowe ducked Lewis so I'd say Lewis by decision.

Exactly, Bowe knew something we didn't and that is that he was scared of Lewis, why else throw a belt in the garbage.

What was the reason at the time?


I always wondered if Lewis sticking around an extra 4 years for his second shot at Olymic gold, made any difference against a greener Bowe.

If their Olympic bout is anything to go by, Bowe wouldn't have made it past the 6th round.

Lewis would UD Bowe

sorry guys, gotta go with bowe beating lewis back in the day. definately, only if they would have fought before 95' though

Question is, what's lewis's prime. Was he in his prime when he got knocked out by McCall and Rahman? I guess he was in his prime when he couldn't even take out Holyfield, whose skills were GREATLY diminished every time they fought. The Holyfield that fought Bowe would have killed Lewis. The Bowe that fought Holyfield would have killed Lewis too and that was the Bowe we are talking about.

I just realized I almost repeated someone else's post. Guess I'm just agreeing.

why did lewis duck byrd and ruiz?

he didn't duck those guys, don't be silly. He decided to fight a better opponent for more money. If you are insinuating he was afraid of those two losers, your crazy. It's laughable to say such a thing.

I love Holy. I was looking at him when he beat Tyson the first time and he was MEAN and TOUGH. I don't think prime he beats prime Lennox. I like Holy more ... but no.

Bowe would NEVER beat Lennox. Lennox put fear in his ass.

Bowe-Lewis would have been quite a fight. Bowe was only a top fighter for one fight against Holy in #1. Lewis stlye would have given Bowe fits. His height,reach and right hand would have given Bowe all kinds of trouble. Lewis by tko in 8-10.

He wanted no part of Lennox imo.

I just think the old Holy who threw 4, 5, and 6 punch flurries often, would give lewis all he could handle. I think he would wear him down and at least win a decision based on his aggression and style. The holy that lewis beat hardly threw any combos at all. Lewis still couldn't put him down. I admit, I am from Atlanta and am biased.

That's cool. I think Big ole Lennox would be favored. You're correct that Holy could never be counted out of any fight he was in ... if not when he was prime, at least the memory of his battling ass would make you WANT to believe.

agreed

Bowe is one of the biggest wastes of talent I have ever seen. Such skill..lack of testicular fortitude

riddick by KO. lewis only blossomed at the latter half of his career... he beat tyson when tyson was on the decline...

I don't agree with that. He fought some tough guys early on. He destroyed Ruddock at a time where Razor was considered a top guy for the title. It is more of a styles thing against Bowe. I don't see Bowe winning this one.
The Tyson fight isn't even a consideration for me. Many people would have beaten Tyson that night.

as i said, he was on the decline, so maybe anyone could have defeated him... but on the contrary, i don't like him pushing tyson to the ground for the knockdown...

Your face doesn't look like Tyson's from a push. Tyson is a bully and cheater. If Lewis stretched the rules abit against Tyson, I don't remember it. I would have to watch it again. Either way, you are correct, Tyson was far gone at that point of his career.
