Prime for Prime: Rid**** Bow vs Lennox Lewis

[Run]

Lewis easy. Besides the obvious (better tactician etc):

Bowe was overrated as hell.

Lewis would of won, Bowe was afraid of him so he would of had the mental edge bowe would of fought scared and would of got KO'd in 6

if bowe would have taken care of himself and had dedicated himself, he would've been so much more.. i would say that bowe had more talent, it's just that lennox did more with his talent, so i had to go with lewis on this one

If by chin issues you mean taking power punches repeatedly without going down, then yes he did because he proved he had a great chin. Bowe was surprisingly fast and could counter with a puncher like prime Holyfield, so if Lewis got too excited with his wild punches like he did early in his career, Bowe can make him pay for a small mistake. But as far as a real boxing match goes, Bowe would need that left jab all night. This version of Lennox wasn't as crafted yet. It's a close matchup.

Bowe has a punchers chance but skill wise, i just cant see Bowe winning in a tactical boxing match and Lennox made that clear in the Olympics. i know that they were still young and devoloping but Bowe still had that same style and Lennox knew how to deal with it. early in his career, Lennox only got wild and excited against no names who he took lightly. (Oliver Mccall). but he has beaten all of the power punchers that he has faced.

[KESSLER]

This would be an easy fight for Lewis

Bowe would have caused Lewis some trouble in the beginning but Lewis is just a better fighter.

Keep in mind that I was talking about a younger less developed(skills-wise) Lewis that wasn't as composed and skilled overall. I mean Frank Bruno was outboxing him untill he ran out of gas.
Bowe had a great jab and straight punches, so he could handle himself on the outside, and even better on the inside. But his defense would be his biggest weakness, but he has a chin and heart to back him up on that. I would have given Bowe a good chance if they fought at that time.

lewis was actually a straighter puncher than bowe. bowe tended to throw his right hand looping,,,although it was effective and he did have pretty good power with it. I dont think bowe had a good chin which is why rock newman had him avoid power punchers like the plague. although it was lewis who was knocked out twice,,,,he had a much better chin than bowe. lewis fought a lot more stronger punchers

I'd have to say Lewis.

That went good untill you said Lewis had a better chin than Bowe. Yes Lewis fought more powerful punchers, but was also knocked out cold twice, and would have been every time he was hit without seeing a punch coming. If you watched Bowe take punches before he lost his chin, it's obviously more durable even with blind punches.
