    I too couldn't stand Lennox back than. But Bowes offer of a 90/10 purse split was just as unconscionable a duck as throwing his belt in a trash can. Funny thing is, I think Rid**** would have won had he come in shape.

      What a terrible list. lol Cotto vs DLH who the hell wanted to see that?

      A real list:

      Arguello vs Serrano
      Mosley vs Trinidad
      Foreman vs Holmes
      and I agree with Roy Jones vs Europe and Bowe vs Lennox

        Styles makes fights and Lewis was all wrong for Bowe. Bowe looked phenomenal against Holyfield since Evander decided to slug it out with Bowe toe to toe(A la Leonard and Duran). Once Holyfield decided to box...Bowe had trouble, hence losing the 2nd fight eventho it also close.

        Bowe was scared of Lewis first off. After beat Holyfield, Bowe came up to Lewis to where Lewis mentioned that Bowe had fear in his eyes(He just did it to try to make a statement because of his long grudge for losing in the olympics) He knew that based on Lewis's excellent jab, power plus good speed...Bowe would lose 8 rounds to 4 imo.

            O my gawd! 5-6 years ago this would have been nasty. Would have really gave us a better look of were to rank Marquez upon all time great mexican boxers.

              prime Mayweather vs prime Pacquiao

              ppl fail to realize the tragedy is already done... by the time they fight they will be past their primes... history will forever remember Floyd refused to fight Pacquiao

                      Problem is, Pacquiao was an afterthought during Mayweather's prime. Floyd was P4P #2 behind Roy Jones when Pac was getting knocked out by a bum. JMM vs Pacquiao II was only three years ago and that was at 130 or 135. When would you wish they would've fought?
