Rid**** Bowe vs Lennox Lewis March 1995

lewis bowe

Just read an article in Ring magazine. The magazine is with Oliver mcCall on the frontpage. In the magazine it says that the fight between lewis and bowe scheduelded for march 95 is off and that Rid**** Bowe would lose 10 Million dolars!

Would of been a great fight and should of happened!

[Chunk..]

The two did fight actually.

Lewis won the Super-Heavyweight Gold Medal by defeating Bowe by TKO at the 1988 Olympic Games.

And then when Lewis became the #1 contender for Bowe's WBC belt in 1992, Rid**** decided it was better to throw the belt in the trash rather than fighting Lennox again. I still remember the press conference. Bowe looked ridiculous!

And because Bowe refused to fight Lewis again, instead we got an overweight Rid**** getting obliterated by Evander Holyfield, and that ****** parachuting guy incident.

So Lewis, already having defeated Bowe once, would have had to have been the favorite going into another match.

It would be a ****ing superfight. Tyson - Bowe would have been a awesome fight as well.

I agree people say during the Tyson era or the early t mid 90's that there wasn't any good boxers about. I mean at least back then they said that about HW. They always compared it to the 70;s and the Ali, Norton, Fraizer and Foreman era...I mean the 90's culdhave had some real classic match ups. Holy, Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, Foreman, Moorer, McCall, Tucker fought to UD Loss with both Lewis and Tyson....Lefty

hey

Henry Tillman beat Tyson twice as an amateur. Tyson took him out in 1 round as a professional. Remember Gonzales beat Lewis in the amateurs, got smashed by other heavyweights as a pro. Lewis vs Bowe in the amateur fight doesnt make me much viser. Bowe won the 1 round ,Lewis the second. The TKO was controversial.

Bowe ducked Lewis in 92, but he did agree to fight him in march 1995. I think Bowe ducked him in 92 was a business desicion.
