    Newman had to scrub Bowe's underwear for weeks afterwards, the streaks were so big.

    Lol...Let's leave Lewis out of the equation, just for now. Why did Bowe choose to fight against Dokes and Ferguson??? What does that tell you??? There were plenty of fighters in the division on and around that period who were capable of giving Bowe a competitive fight yet he chose two zero's at world level, fights that in all honesty should never have been sanctioned. The 90's was a deceptively strong era with many a name capable of challenging for the title yet Bowe chose to milk his title rather than give the fans a competitive match up. Bowe's whole career and standing were effected when he and his manager engineered the dodge of Lewis and am sure that he will forever rue the day when he tossed that belt into the garbage.....

    Banter aside, i do think that Bowe 91/95 was arguably a better and more complete fighter than Lewis who was a little green and still learning his trade and had they fought on and around that period would have been a slight favourite but he certainly appeared not to want any part of the Brit and was content with milking his title and am sure in looking back, he wishes he'd made the match.....

    It tells me you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

    For argument's sake, if Bowe really was better than Lewis at any point, then he is the world's biggest pillock for not fighting him. Imagine for a second he'd KTFO Lewis, and never rematched. He'd be a fixture in top ten lists. Right now, most guys have him outside the top ten.

    Dokes and Ferguson? They had LEGENDARY power!

    Oh no, wait. They didn't.

    I showed you irrefutable proof that the fight was made and all Lewis had to do was get past Macall. Clear evidence was put before your eyes. You chose to ignore it , why is that? Was or was the fight a done deal?

    I can show you irrefutable proof that Bowe dumped the belt in a trash can instead of facing Lewis. Want to see it?

    SO why did he make a deal 2 years later if he was so scared?

    What's poisonous about him? That whole saga was Newman vs King. I bet you're willing to take Kings side of things for one night only such is your vile hatred of Bowe:vomiton:

    He was just using Lewis' name to get attention, and never had any intention of fighting him?

    Actually I think they both suck donkey nuts. You could make an argument King was worse but Rock was more obnoxious.
