    Maybe.. Eat?:think Anyways we can only assume Bowe was better than Lewis or Lewis was better than Bowe.. It's sucks we don't have an actual fight between the two, to fall back on.

    Lol, ok eat. I blame Bowe for the fight not happening and that's why I judge Bowe very harshly. You don't duck mandatories for ANY reason.

    Bowe didn't want to lose, LL had range/size over him & Bowe inside strngth would have been neutralized by LL reach & outside all around good skills

    Bowe did the right thing & vacated, instead of holding the title hostage & asking for awkward catchweight demands :huh

    If Bowe was a true competitor, as Lennox is, then he's have moved heaven and earth to avenge that Olympic loss. But Bowe is not cut from that cloth. He would rather be the big man against little Evander.

    I will forever remember poor little Holyfield and bully Bowe swinging for the fences against each other in the 8th round of their rubber match. There was only ever one winner between those two. A big, schoolyard bully picking on the gutsy, brave little kid in the year below.

    Fair play to little Evander. He's the furthest thing from a bully you could possibly imagine.

    2 fights that you point to out of how many fights in his career?? Holyfield was shot in 99...no full credit given, he was struggling with a Bean...c'mon man... Grant was green as **** that almost got demolished by Cheater Golota, and Vitali was a quit Job.... Cmon man.... Stop talking about Vitali in 2003 below.. he was irrelevant.

    155* hint, when a fighter knows he is inferior & doesn't want to catch an L, vacating is the correct thing to do :think

    All I remember is that Bowe left boxing, and I understood at the time considering that he was starting to get hit too much. But the night that he trashed that title, I lost all respect for him.

    People are confusing weight with strength and power. Lennox was big, but he would've been incredibly weak compared to other athletes his size. Wasn't he on a tv show doing physical things and he was weak? Rahman threw him around like a rag doll in their wrestle as well.

    Lewis ducked Bowe with the aid of Don King and the WBC.

    Using shady tactics similar to the ones being used on Glovkin right now.
    If you were a poster of worth , id take your ass to school on the matter .
