    Lennox ducked Bowe?

    Lennox was offered 8 figures on two different occassions and he turned it down both times.



    I guess I never saw their amateur fight, but I can't seem to figure out why the ref took a point from Bowe and why the fight was stopped. Wow, crazy!

    Does anyone give any credibility to the opinion of this douche bag?

      i've said this for decades. Lennox turned down the deal first and then when it went to purse bid and the WBC tried to dictate the terms, Bowe trashed the WBC. mfers want to ignore this. They were still going to fight then Lennox gets ktfo by Mccall.

        He ducked bowe and prime Evander and Tyson.

        Lewis couldn't handle prime American greats, they were on another level and he knew it.

          I’m all about the best man, Lennox Lewis in my opinion is a Canadian puto who waited til Iron Mike was being worked over by Givens

          Highly over rated

            Lazy, fat Bowe?? I cant see why Lewis would be afraid of Bowe. He was pretty lazy and had ZERO discipline. Seems like EASY pickings to me. Bowe was VERY TALENTED though. What a waste.

                As buddyr and others have said, there is more, much more to the story.

                I was of the same ilk, appears I was wrong and misled all these years. I am willing to accept it, as should you.

                  Thats the problem- Lennox did what he did quietly. Bowe made a huge spectacle of it. As time goes by, Lewis’s actions get lost but Bowe’s get replayed often.

                  No matter what the truth is, all most see is Bowe throwing the belt in the can.

                    That is one of the few big fights that never got made because of sanctioning and promotional issues. Bowe dumping the belt for what ever reason was not a good look especially if he had to fight for the WBC title again.

                    Bowe and Rock Newman were very independent and burned every bridge they crossed.
