Bowe could'nt evade a jab and had little to no defense and in a good hw era only fought one second tier hw and one elite hw.

Those are the facts and matter how many time you mention Gonzalez or Hide it wont change the fact that they where third tier hws.
Bowe is not the god who walked like a man you think he is.


And no idiot who actually dared to claim that Bowe was proficient in defense is going to run anyone out of here

I don't think you know the definition of 'redundant'. In any event, your mortification has just become my newest hobby.

While I liked Bowe to take the fight in 93, I like Lewis in 95.

Lewis was now hitting his prime, he had Steward, and his jab and defense had improved enough that I think he would outpoint Bowe in 95.

Prediction - Lewis UD - 116-112, 116-112, 115-113

Again I am curious to see how the votes go in this and how they go in 93. I suspect Lewis will take both polls, but that the 93 vote will be closer. We'll see.

I give Lewis 55% to Bowes 45%,because I find him more provenwith more power,Bowe was the best inside fighter Ive seen for a big man ,had a good jab ,decent cross and heart ,but his dedication stank,he just didnt have the discipline to go to the next level that I beleive his talent could have taken him to,he remains ,to some extent a "what might have been".

Boxing writers kept asing why is this amatuer king with wins over Bowe and Lewis was giving such sloppy performances as a pro.
Very few were convinced about Gonzales, and it came as no big surprise when Bowe beat him.

Or when the comebacking Witherspoon beat him up a year later.
It definitely was when he quit on his stool against Puritty, though...
