    If you include Lewis' win over Bowe from amateurs boxing then you should also include his KO loss to Valeriy Abadzhyan as well

    Did he go professional? Was he a big name professionally?

    Then why bring it up? The Bowe victory was relevant because as a professional he was a near invincible and feared champion.

    Evander had pretty much just come off beating Mike Tyson, a fight where everyone said 'Well clearly he's got a lot left'. All of sudden Lewis beats him and now it's 'Oh, he was old and past it'

    Lennox is second only to his personal hero The Greatest Muhammad Ali

    Name one Heavy better than a Prime Bowe. Dude had speed, inside fighting, jab, left hook. overhand right, chin, size. IMO a motivated in shape Bowe was the perfect fighting machine.
