Bowe vs. Lewis???

[welshwales]

Lewis on all counts

too much class IMO

[buffbodz]

I think Lewis had more dedication and would of out gutted Bowe, even in thier primes.

[dsh2005]

bowes wife would beat lewis

[Bozo_no no]

Lewis would have won at any point in time, simply because he was in Bowe's head, and Bowe was afraid of him.

Maybe it had to do with Lewis stopping Bowe in the Olympics, or maybe Bowe always was a bit flakey.

Either way, he was genuinly afraid of Lewis.

After the first Bowe Holyfield fight (Lewis did commentary) Lewis confronted Bowe after the fight, and told him several times right to his face that he was going to knock him out again. Bowe said to Lewis and to the camera that he wanted revenge, and that he'd fight Lewis next.

Not only did he go back on that, he later literally gave up his belt rather than face Lewis.

For whatever reason, Lewis had a mental edge over Bowe, and that would have translated into a bad loss for Bowe no matter where or when they fought.

You have never seen either of Bowe's Fights with Golota. He took so many hard flush punches to the head. Went down twice. He was still fighting back in the 9th round. Lou Duva was shocked at how much punishment Bowe was able to take particularly in the second fight. IN the post the interview he was telling Bowe to immediately go to the hospital to get his head checked out. It was one of the most brutal beatings ever. Bowe was still throwing overhand right bombs in the 9th round. He really wanted to win that fight. He trained his ass off and weiged in at 235 pounds. The second fight with Golota just ruined Bowe. Some people Say Lou Duva is an overrated trainer well Bowe was trained by Eddie Futch. The guy who trained Frazier and alot of other champions and he must have given Bowe the wrong instructions on how to fight Golota because he got beat so bad in that fight to the head.

That was a really good fight. Both guys were down. Low Blows, hitting in the back of the head. But after the 5th round it was just such a brutal one sided beating and Golota especially back then is a big HARD HITTING heavyweight and Bowe took so many flush punches of every kind in that fight. Just the right hook to he took behind the ear in the second round that dropped him should have been enough to KO him. Bowe's corner were gonna throw in the towel in teh 7th round because he was just getting beat so bad. George Foreman said if they stopped the fight they would be correct in doing so. Maybe if they did stop the fight Bowe would not have the braindamage he does.

After that fight Bowe retired and became a total psycho joined the Marine Corps for like 2 weeks got arrested for kidnapping his family at gunpoint, went to prison etc.....

People were so impressed by Golota fight with Bowe. He was the bettng favorite to beat Lewis when they fought shortly after. I still swear some wierd **** went down in the Golota Lewis fight with the lidocaine and everything. The odds on a Lewis first round KO were probably like 45-1.

i saw both fights with bowe/golota... which affirms my theory that bowe was overrated, had terrible defense, poor stamina and a shaky chin... golota is not a huge puncher, he's a good one but not a huge one... bowe was hurt by golota, holy and hide... he avoided big KO punchers like moorer, ruddock, morrison, lewis, tua, mercer, mccall, etc... lewis would have KO'd bowe...

[Bozo_no no]

Here's Lewis stopping Bowe in the 98 Olympics for those who haven't seen it:

[mick1punch]

bowe couldt beet lewis no way

[DiegoFuego]

Bowe had a 2 fight career. Outside of his two wins against Holyfield he did NOTHING.

Lewis beats him anythime with or without Manny

and trust mne Bowe's people thought Lewis would win also thats they went out of there way to stay as far from Lewis as possible.

I agree. I show Bowe very little love because he had all the tools and didn't use them. Lewis would have ripped it up whether you're British or American, accept the truth. Lewis would have completely destroyed him, which is why Bowe canned the belt.

would have been a good fight I think, to big, strong athletic guys who punch hard, box well, and have great left jabs. Bowe was better on the inside, Lennox had a better right hand from the outside, Lennox was more composed. I think people look to closely at the amateur bout they had, I've watched it, and neither man looked anything like the pro versions of themselves, and it was a typical amateur stoppage...it's not like Bowe got blown away like some people (who prob. haven't even seen the fight) say.

I don't know who'd win, I mean damn Bowe was one tough cookie when he was on top...threw lots of combinations, fought pretty aggressively, took a punch well. Lennox fought at a more relaxed pace, relied on his accuracy, jab, and straight punches...who knows. Woulda made for a good fight though.

Iu think Bowe by late stoppage or KO because Lennox had been KO'ed before and after they were gonna fight. Bowe had been hit with some good shots from Holyfield and still kept fight, and even later by getting his ass whooped by Golota, but kept on fighting.
