Bowe beat a peak Holyfield whereas Lewis managed a draw with old Holyfield and Evander was Robbed in their rematch...yet which ever way you look at it there is no chance that Rahman or McCall would poleaxed Riddick Bowe, in fact i would strongly tip Bowe to take care of those two the same way he took care of Dokes and Ferguson

    Look at my post. When it comes to fights, I've stated facts. Look at your post...

    You talk about Lewis 'only managing a draw against old Holyfield'. Everyone acknowledges that Lewis dominated the first fight (he landed TWICE as many punches!) and won the second fight also. Virtually everyone acknowledges that.

    Lewis dominated Bowe in 88 and Bowe refused to fight him in 92. Those are the undisputable facts.

      Agreed. Bowe was a disgrace to the sport really. He ducked everyone, let himself go...struggled severely in both fights against Golota, then retired at around 30. He beat Holyfield 2-1? Wow. Big deal! Holyfield is over-rated as a heavyweight.

      Bowe was rarely tested against big punchers. We don't really know how good Bowe's chin was, because he never faced ANYWHERE NEAR as many big punchers as Lennox Lewis, who went in there against Ruddock, McCall, Mercer, David Tua, Klitschko, Rahman, Tyson, Bruno, Grant, Morrison...you name it. Lewis faced all the big punchers of his time. Lewis, who was a lot quicker back then, would have danced around and battered fatty Bowe easier than he battered the fitter, faster version of Bowe in 88. Bowe never faced a big man anywhere NEAR Lewis's class.

      *****.

        where are your Facts?

        Those are your own small minded opinions... Lewis was unfortunate to only get a draw in his first fight with Holyfield although Holyfield claims he won as many rounds as Lewis did.. yet in their rematch 42 of 48 ringside reporters had Holyfield the clear winner... here is a link.

        i suggest that you stop claiming that what you think is "FACT" because i find everything which you have claimed so far on this topic as "Garbage"... you obviously have never seen the Olympic final because if you had done then you would not be making ridiculous claims like "Lewis dominated Bowe" and claiming it to be Fact... here is a link to that Olympic final, i suggest you sit back and watch it as you will see that you are talking through your arse, the truth is that Bowe dominated Lewis and that the referee was corrupt and intent on Bowe not winning.
        here is your link.

                That's how I see it. I rate LL much higher overall, but RB who beat Holyfield the first time was a machine. For a big guy, beautiful inside game. Nice chin, good power.

                I can see him beating LL by KO.
