    Lewis schooled him in the Olympic Final.

    I'd put that ahead of your conjecture.

          while amateur or teenage wins over fighters who later gained fame (IE. Pryor/Hearns) shouldn't be taken that seriously as who would win now, Bowe may have still feared him.

            yea rock newman steered bowe clear of the biggest punchers in the heavyweight division throughout bowe's career. bowe was labeled as having a suspect chin coming out of the ams and rock newman was concerned about it or so it seemed

              yea,,,,I stated that bowe may have not had much confidence in beating lewis and that the lewis under steward probably beats bowe but some of lewis's nuthuggers seem to take the slightest bit of negativity personal

                  Bowe was definitely shook but I'm not so sure about Tyson. The problem in the mid 90s was the money involved in Tyson fighting bums on PPV and of course the 2 big Holyfield fights, which also signaled the end of his career for a while. He had to come to europe looking for a paycheck.

                  By the time things settled, Lewis was the man and Tyson was a shot to **** fighter.
