    Wrong. Bowe's team offered Lennox Lewis 3 million for a fight. He turned it down calling 3 million "an insult." And let it be noted Lennox had never made a 3 million dollar purse up to that point.

      One thing to beat Bowe in the Olympics I don't think he could have as a Pro. Bowe had a top chin and power. Lewis chin was not as good. Plus he struggled a lot more with Evander then Bowe did. Bowe only lost to Evander because his wife went to the hospital at the fight.

        Bowe lost to Tyrell Biggs and Jorge Luis Gonzalez in the amateurs...He ANNIHILATED both of them in the pros.

          Bowe was a very good fighter, but fell in love with his power and become undisciplined. That is why Holyfield and Golata were able to make him look very human in there. Golata was another one undisciplined. Holyfield at least soldiered on to more big fights.

          I mean all three of them permanently took a lot from each other when they fought, but it sure was exciting for us to watch.

            When was the last time we seen a heavyweight with the kind of killer instinct attack of Bowe? He sure was exciting to watch. he threw and threw and threw. Went for the KO, **** a decision.

                Bowe was getting hammered by Golota, Lewis knocked Golota out in 1 Rd.

                  come on man u know u cant use that argument...styles make fights, how one fighter does A does against fighter B dont mean **** about he hed do against fighter C.

                  Its like saying, Hearns knocked out Duran in 2 and since Hagler went a hard 15 with Duran that means Hearns easily beats Hagler right?

                    Yeah true, By the time Bowe fought Golota he was washed up. And not taking boxing seriously. That's why I said its to bad Bowe did not have the motivation to be great. He could have but it takes motivation Lewis had that so do the Klitschko brothers. He had the abilty and when he trained hard fought better then Lewis or the Klitschkos.

                      The poster that I was replying to used both their fights with Evander as a measuring stick for both fighters. I was just doing the same.

                      Also Lewis had every right to say that 25% was an insult.
