    In my opinion, Lennox Lewis. Bowe clearly ducked him (giving up his belt) and Don King paid Lewis 4 million to step aside for Tyson-Holyfield. I can't recall any other HW that went through that in the 90's.

      That's a pretty ridiculous list of fighters that "Lewis "ducked". And adding Bowe to that list is crazy.

          Personally I get tired of this "so-and-so ducked so-and-so" stuff. Unless there's clear evidence (and NO, allegations are NOT evidence) the "duck" claim shouldn't be made.....just about every fighter one can name didn't fight a few contemporaries that might be considered worthy challengers: It doesn't mean they ducked them. Post procto hoc, ergo procto hoc is a logical fallacy my friends.

            probably Foreman. Everyone he faced suddenly became a stick and move fighter for the first time in their careers. They were lucky he had no speed left.

                  The same Orlin Norris who had to sc**** a SD to get past Marion Wilson? Lol, keep those jokes coming!!!

                    What did you prove by that ? That Orln Norris still won ?
                    Ray Mercer drew with that same Marion Wilson.
                    Ray Mercer lost a UD to Jesse Fergusson and I doubt his SD over him.
                    Orlin Norris at least won against Jesse Fergusson (whom also outpointed James Douglas and Obed Sullivan) and outpointed McCall and Tucker and was actually robbed of the decision against Tucker in thier first fight.

                    If you try boxrecing to support your arguments , at least know how to do it properly without exposing your ignorance and ******ity.

                      A horse actually might be more coherent than the punch-drunk washed up whale in that video. When Bowe had all his faculties intact he used them to dodge Lennox and make a fool of himself on national television.

                      Rock Newman is a notorious hustler and swindler and admitted on the HBO special that it was in Bowe's best interest to not fight Lewis as a defense.
