I Miss Lennox Lewis.

Lennox was the last "GREAT" heavyweight

That was classic :) Lennox : 'Are we gonna call you chicken Bowe??'

I didn't realize the greatness of Lewis until he retired.He would be competitive with any hw in history imo.I think he should stay retired.If he came back and lost it would hurt his legacy it's not worth it.

You obviously have no idea of what went down and it's a long story. Bowe walked out of the ring after the 1st Bowe Holyfield fight right by Lewis who was doing commentary. Lewis confronted Bowe and Bowe clearly looked intimidated. He promised Lewis, on camera, that he'd fight him next. He didn't. Lewis continued calling Bowe out for some time, to no avail. Later, Lewis was made Bowe's mandatory for his title. What transpired was infamous: http://www.photopile.com/photos/dantzu/auctions/235889.gif He threw his title away to avoid facing Lewis. Bowe was afraid to fight Lewis as a pro. His actions spoke for themselves. oh man.....I know Lewis woulda murdered Bowe eitha way. Lewis was too skilled. this is cowardice in part of Ridick.

Lennox Lewis would get murdered if he comes back. First off, he has to get back into shape. At or near 40, not having fought in 2 years, and having only fought 2 times in 4 years, he would get killed. He wasn't one of the all time greats, maybe a 2nd tier heavyweight when juxtaposed against Ali and Marciano. I think he is on the second tier, right along Tyson and Holyfield. If he would've KO'ed Tyson in his prime, he would've been one of the all time greats no doubt about it, top 5. In other words, if it was Lennox Lewis in Tokyo, and not Douglas, Lewis would be a fucking legend right alongside of Ali and Marciano.

Sorry. Typing error. I mean It's a shame he's head went!!!!

Not that I'm a fan of Bowe or anything, but how does anyone know that Bowe was afraid to fight him? Did he say this to someone? Is this just gossip because all I seem to be reading on the matter are opinions. You obviously have no idea of what went down and it's a long story.

make it 4. sizzlin baby. sorry Im getting to you

I miss him too. its a shame he had to get old!

** Boozo has been spiking his tea with lemonade instead of Old Grandad. He actually makes sense! the mere mention of Ol Grandad makes my stomach quiver

He was mentally weak thats why, Bowe got stopped by Lewis in the Amatuers, and refused to fight him in the pro's.

You're still not getting it. The only shame, is that Bowe was afraid of Lewis. Lewis called for that fight for years, and never got it because Bowe was afraid. So saying "IF Bowe wasn't afraid, he may have beatin Lewis" is pointless. Bowe's problem was his weak mental state. That's why he was afraid of Lennox, and that's what prevented him from fufilling his potential. So "if" he wasn't such a mentally weak individual in spots, he may have done a lot of things. Why was Bowe afraid to fight Lewis? Is there a link or something or is this just hearsay?

hello? yes,,,bowe took the easy road. instead of fighting a guy who had a shot at beating him,,he took on guys who had zero chance. so this means if they fought,,that lewis would have beaten him? then I guess ,,,quarry would have beaten foreman? corrie sanders would have beaten lewis? aaron pryer would have beaten leonard? just becuase fighter A choses to avoid fighter B for easier opponents doesnt mean they'd lose to them. sure lewis may have caught bowe and knocked him out,,,but I think theres a better chance that bowe wears lewis out on the inside and takes him out. unfortunately,,we'll never know becuase bowe and rock newman were going with the bum of the month clubs You're still not getting it. its a shame lewis never fought a prime bowe. that would have helped settle who was better between him and holy. I stil feel a prime bowe would have beaten lewis. just too many combinations on the insidefrom bowe. lewis would have had big time trouble with bowe The only shame, is that Bowe was afraid of Lewis.

LOL i said "Klitschko nuthuggers" and you got offended...LMAO uhm yea. you were responding to my post werent you? duh

You don't seem to get it. Bowe was afraid to fight Lewis. Saying he would have beaten him if he wasn't afraid of him is a pretty self defeating statement. Lewis intimidated Bowe, and with Bowe's poor mental state, that would not have translated favorably into the ring. Any way you look at it, the shame is on Bowe for not having the balls to take the fight. That's really the only thing that can be said on the matter. hello? yes,,,bowe took the easy road. instead of fighting a guy who had a shot at beating him,,he took on guys who had zero chance. so this means if they fought,,that lewis would have beaten him? then I guess ,,,quarry would have beaten foreman? corrie sanders would have beaten lewis? aaron pryer would have beaten leonard? just becuase fighter A choses to avoid fighter B for easier opponents doesnt mean they'd lose to them. sure lewis may have caught bowe and knocked him out,,,but I think theres a better chance that bowe wears lewis out on the inside and takes him out. unfortunately,,we'll never know becuase bowe and rock newman were going with the bum of the month clubs

your an idiot if u didnt see how good he would have been in ne era.the dude had hands like a welterweight and foot speed like a middleweight and power above average for a heavyweight. put him in ne era and he's kickin some ass :cool: :boxing: oh please,,,,put him in with a prime lewis.....ali....holyfield,,,holmes,,,foreman,,,bowe and hes beaten silly. he dominated a weak divivion. get over it

Its funny how an out of prime Tyson loses some of his fight and then people say "He fought in a weak era" or "anyone could beat tyson", mainly klitschko nuthuggers. lmao. I love how if someone doesnt like an opinion on a boxer they like,,,they turn into a nuthugger. very comical. get a life pervert

a lot of heavyweights could have beaten a prime tyson. he fought in a very very weak era your an idiot if u didnt see how good he would have been in ne era.the dude had hands like a welterweight and foot speed like a middleweight and power above average for a heavyweight. put him in ne era and he's kickin some ass :cool: :boxing:
