Well, considering the commentator questioned it at the time, I would say that it's definitely questionable. And the reffing in that fight wsa terrible. Come on. I'm not a Lewis hater by any stretch, but a controversial amateur stoppage means almost nothing. Ok, you say "I don't want to talk about triangle theories, just listen to this triangle theory." And Holyfield had a bad matchup for Lewis. Very open and aggressive. And Holyfield was well past prime. And watch this: Rid**** Bowe never lost to Oliver McCall. That loss is way worse than a life and death battle with a top 10 heavyweight. Which brings me to my final point: Bowe KO'd Holyfield a full five years before Lewis went to a draw with him. Come on. I'm not saying that Bowe should be rated above Lewis - based on accomplishment, Lewis has got to be higher. But on their best nights, there is no doubt that Bowe was out of Lewis' league.

Did you say most complete? Unless you think all offense with zero defense is complete I don't think so.Comment

dunno if he'd a given lennox the treatment or not but bowe was sick.
he'd definitely get inside that klit jab and flatten both brothers, no question.Comment

its another desperate attempt to hide the facts. had lennox knocked him out in the pros you would have argued that while lennox did that he didnt knock him out in his PRIME. so you cant count that. its lame dude. lennox beat him, lennox shredded the guys that bowe struggled with. what makes you think bowe could have knocked him out? outside of the fact that you may hate lennox. thats not a good argument. and neither is "i think he was better". so what exactly speaks for bowe and against lennox?
i mentioned the fight they had in the olympics (i know, early stoppage, bowe was killing him and would have knocked him out etc) and the fact that lennox handled the guys that bowe struggled with. so what do you have to offer now? maybe youre right, maybe im missing something. help me outComment

You lost me, how exactly is it a desperate attempt to hide facts exactly ?, I asked you a simple question and questioned the referee being legitimate and somehow you gathered that I hate Lewis and think Bowe would beat him ?, are you some form of psychic ?, because right now it seems like you're desperate to defend Lewis without me even saying anything negative about him.
Where the **** are you reading this from ?.what makes you think bowe could have knocked him out? outside of the fact that you may hate lennox. thats not a good argument.
Maybe I'm missing something ?. Help me out.Last edited by NChristo; 12-28-2010, 04:53 PM.Comment

no im not, im just trying to understand what everyone is talking about. everybody says bowe would have killed him and yet nobody even bothers to back anything they say up with something. so i dont understand why they say what theyve been saying thats all. and it seems to me like youre one of those guys, thats why i responded the way i responded.
i dont think the ref did anything wrong to be honest. lennox rocked him so many times that fight, bowe didnt know where he was at. he was stumblin around, got hit with multiple left hooks and big straights. what do you want the ref to do? like i said its the olympics and you got 2 giants in there. if you take these kinds of shots in the amateurs thats usually what happens, the ref steps in. its not pro boxing rules in the olympics. the refs step in immediately for the most part. what if the ref hadnt saved him? what would have stopped lennox from continuing to do what he did the minutes up until the ref stopped the fight? bowe was in trouble the entire time. he was gone, it was just a matter of time. i dont understand how you can say the ref was biased and basically just handed lennox a win
well thats the impression i got from your responses, youre kinda defending bowe and made some statements that i just cant agree with like the one about the refComment
