I can't see it; but if Rid**** says something along the lines of "I thought you was different Lennox; but you ain't nothin' but a word."
Lewis then says something like, "You ain't nothin' to me"
Bowe responds with "Bring it then, bring it then"....acutally, this migh thave come before the first thing I said Bowe said.
...and if Lennox has a fade or a flat top and is wearing a head-set and a nice suit and Bowe's in his trunks and their talking at the ropes....
...Then that's right after Rid**** won the undisputed World Championship from Evander Holyfield on November 13th, 1992.Comment

Famous sequence.
It was right after Bowe got out of the ring after beating Holyfield in their 1st fight.
Lennox was doing commentary.
Bowe was visably intimidated, and Lewis mentioned after the confrontation that Bowe was hesitant to make eye contact with him. I believe it's where he coined the phrase "Chicken Bowe"
You clearly hear Bowe promise Lewis that he's next, yet shortly after this video is the famous incident of Bowe throwing his title away as to not to have to fight Lewis.
Clearly, the loss in the Olympics was something Bowe coudln't get past. He was never a very strong person mentally, and this was just another example of that.Comment

Man that brings back some bad memories. I was a fan of Rid****'s and respected Lewis for what he did to Ruddock just two weeks before Bowe's fight with Evander. I was so hyped to see the two big men get in the ring and get it on.
Words can not accurately express how disappointed I was, especially in Bowe, when he through the WBC belt in the garbage rather than face Lewis. I still get a bad taste in my mouth when I think abou it.

Yeah, saw it recently. It's strange hearing Lennox threatening people with that slightly effeminate voice though, isn't it?Comment

Remember when the Ring Magazines last page used to be about up coming fights and their predictions? Well, on one math up they put Rid**** Bowe v. Lennex Lewis, i believe the odds the Ring gave were 4-1 in Bowes favor and at the end they said...Lewis will not live up to his potential.Comment
