Bowe was not a bum/coward, Bowe was a real life bully who fight great in the inside, which is why Don King used him to soften up the Holyman for Tyson, it didn't work well :yep
Those fights happened in 1996/7. That was the best year of his career. We can argue which year was his actual peak until the cows come home. But the fact is that 1996/7 were the peak of his career.
How do you know that? You don't. You are assuming it. Lewis was to smart to fight a short man on the inside for the entire fight. It's a Rid****ulous tactic. One which will shorten your career and end up with you slurring you words post-boxing. Ask the Rid****ulous one.
100% right. Just goes to show what a stupid tactic it is for a 6'5 fighter to use that style. It's the reason Bowe never troubles anyone's ATG lists.
I'd feel different if Bowe at least fought Lewis. ****en coward. He was a bully and bullies always get what they deserve-no respect.
I know it, because I've seen it... And that's all I can assume, I'm not a sparring partner like Jeremy Williams who was whooping on Lewis in sparring for the Holyfield fight...I'm not his trainer so if fighting on the inside was something he could do during sparring behind closed doors am I wrong for assuming he can't do it well? I've seen a **** load of Lewis fights and he damn nears fights the same way every fight... But I agree with you that fighting trench wars is damaging to the health, and though Lennox fought smart boring fights he prolonged his health.. Bowe unfortunately is fighting mma today, and you can't understand a word he says.
Holy had true skill regardless of his size. Tyson was done the day he went to prison. He tried to come back and was straight trash. Holy gets props for beating Mike-undeserved props. He won't get any from me. But I do respect Holy. He could truly fight.
In 1994 Bully Bowe was in a position where he HAD to fight Lewis, as he had lost his titles and had nowhere else to go. Lewis lost to McCall and the fight was called off. Was Bowe gutted about losing the payday? No. I remember like yesterday reading his interview and he could hardly conceal his delight. He never wanted that fight because he'd rather fight men half his size or half his ability.
Lewis could fight on the inside or out. There is nothing Bowe did better than Lewis. Nothing. That's why he lost to him in the Olympics and why he trashed his title rather than face Lewis.
Seriously, WTF... You think he fought Grant and Vitali the same way he fought Evander? That's just to name 3 examples. I could go on. Or you could **** off.
Lewis was his mandatory and he trashed the title. Called Lewis a garbage picker. I thought that he'd want to face Lewis considering that Lewis stopped him in the Olympics.
