Why didn't Bowe face many punchers?

BS. It happened. New, a psycho manager if there ever was one would whistle Tommy can you hear me, and there is a USA today article where Clayton explained why the fight did not happen. I'll look for it! Until then:

"And it all happened because Newman, in his convoluted efforts to make what he believed was the best deal for Bowe, wound up tripping over his own feet. Now that he is down on all fours, he is reduced to picking up the crumbs left by lesser heavyweights.


But in the meantime, it seems there was a simpler solution. Why didn't they just sign to fight Holyfield in the fall and give Morrison a choice spot on the undercard defending his WBOgus title against some stiff? Then Bowe could have fought Morrison in the spring and completed the triple play by fighting Lewis next summer or fall. "


^^ I think Newman did this unpurposive to avoid punchers. AKA Morrison and Lewis.


If your still not buying just tell me where are the puncher's on his resume

 

Golota as a boxer when focused was very good. But as a puncher, he's a little overrated. This is a man who once bite Pouha to save himself from a KO loss. He head butted Nicholson and had him seeing stars in a fight he was winning. Golota won the next round, Nicholson could not recover. And he got stopped by Mike Grant.

With his career over, I do not see a win over a man who was ranked in the top 15 when Golota fought him. His best win is either Nicholson or a 40-year-old Tim Witherspoon.

Yet he had Bowe beat in the second match, before resorting to low blows, and was a rocking his world in the first match. Bowe was 27 and 28 for these fights with Golota, in his prime.

If Golota as a puncher could hurt or floor Bowe, it's clear why he did face anyone who hit much harder.

Bowe's chin is suspect vs just solid punchers, and completely unproven vs the upper-level hitters. His heart, however, was good.

 

Newman failed to make the initial moves UNPUPROSE. The fights were there.

What a trainer says means jack, as they are full of it, but who the manager selects or does not select can be telling.

 

Yeah, a classic case of a decent cruiser moving up. A bit small, not durable at heavyweight, and did not hit hard to make up for it vs. the best at heavy.

 

Dude, Bowe is known for ducking Lewis. His manager didn't want these fights. The Morrison fight was out there and his team said the Bowe camp didn't want it so they fought Lewis instead, which history shows was the harder match up for Morrison.

Just tell me why Bowe fought no big punchers. The floor is yours.
