Lewis vs Bowe 93 i found this article

[Rostov Papa]

Lewis avoided almost every top Heavyweight during the 1990s who was "At The Top of his Game" Bowe 93 & 95, Sanders 94-98,Foreman 05, Hide 94-96 Moorer 95-96, Witherspoon (who was on a roll)93-95,
Tyson 96, Ruiz 98-01, Byrd 99-02, Wlad 98-03

Lewis avoided all the above fighters, All of who held versions of the Heavyweight Titles during the 1990s. regardless of whether you think Lewis would beat those fighters or not. Lewis chose instead to fight: Akinwande, Morrison (HIV), Grant, Golota, Mavrovick, Fortune, Jackson, Bruno, Tucker, Tua, Briggs - all had been exposed or defeated prior to fighting Lewis. with many on the downside of their career's and very little to offer compared to the list of fighters above.. Not one of the fighters above proved to be a Class A fighter.

Lennox Lewis team knew he was susceptible to punches, so avoided all the Top Fighters of that period. To put into perspective just how poor Lewis ability to take a punch was. Both Hasim Rahman & Oliver McCall two journeymen fighters, never replicated another knocked out during their entire career's, like they did the night they poleaxed Lewis.

Rid**** Bowe of 1993 would have had little trouble taking care of Lennox Lewis. The Duva's and team Lewis knew as much.

Hah! Nice try to try and spin the career of one of the greatest HW's of all time (definitely top 5).

Tua barely lost one fight going into the ewis fight, and that was against the very skilled madman Ike Ibeaubuchi.

Lewis would have ****ed up Bowe - any version of him.

As i recall it, Bowe wanted none of Lewis. Gave several lowball offers well below the dictated split by WBC. When threatened of being stripped, he just dumped the belt.

Even though its been a long time since I checked into the matter, I think this is quite factual.

Your correct in that Tua had lost only one fight to Ike Ibeabuchi some three and a half years earlier.. David Tua weighed 226lbs the night he fought Ibeabuchi and weighed 258lbs the night he fought Lennox Lewis... David Tua was "The Fattest man to ever fight for the Heavyweight Title"


You feel Lewis would beat Bowe... i don't

Yeah this. Plus why would Lewis be ducking Bowe? Didn't he already beat him in the amateurs?

Well....According to Galileo after Bowe dumped the belt he had a major change of heart. Of course initially the point was made that Bowe would even throw in the trashed belt....not quite sure how that fits into the picture but...Lewis most certainly would be expected to capitulate to Bowe after Bowe's epiphany....

He did and quite a few people in the know felt as though Bowe was scared of Lewis.

I hate bothering people with annoying details, but Tua weighed 245 for the Lewis fight. Hardly his best fighting weight, but no need to exaggerate to make your point better fit your agenda.

you talking about this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K39AbwNl3QU

The most corrupt heavyweight olympic final ever.. notice how Bowe is given over 15 warnings in the opening round by the referee
notice how Bowe was destroying Lewis inside and as a professional Bowe would have knocked Lewis out within 3rds. The commentary tells the story in this fight, first how Bowe is a victim of corruption like Roy Jones was, then secondly the corrupt stoppage.

[Galileo]

Yes, Lewis was a very good liar in claiming that Bowe and Tyson ducked him. Bowe didn't fight him because of the ridiculous demands that his team was making and Lewis was happy to take the belt from the trash can. With Tyson, it had to do with the ridiculous refusal of HBO to allow Lennox to fight on Showtime. Tyson was the money maker and had the belts at the time, HBO/Lewis brought absolutely nothing to the table at that time, plus Showtime had an in house fight that everyone wanted to see in Tyson-Holyfield. Anyways, I am glad these BS myths are being exposed.

You will now be ridiculed, branded a troll and a liar by Joseph and Scott (Tyson haters).. you have upset their agenda so they will chase you off the forum because they do not have the knowledge to debate with you, they know that you are correct yet will refuse to accept it as it upsets their agenda and love affair with Lennox Lewis...
