    Bowe, either by UD or by KO.
    When he trained properly and was focused, Bowe was a brilliant boxer.

    This is a stupid cliche that many of you keep repeating when we have a hypothetical matchup involving Frazier.
    Just cause Frazier was able to do that against Ali, it does not mean he can replicate it against other ATGs. As great as Ali was, he lacked one major atribute that is kriptonite for someone like Frazier: punching power.

    You're right, he isn't, he's above it.

    Right,,,,uh, I never saw Joe Frazier drop a world championship belt into a trash can because he was afraid to fight someone.

    That fight never took place due to money issues, not fear.

    Bowe had 2 wars with a prime Holyfield winning one and losing a very close decision the second time and a TKO win over a faded Evander getting up off the floor to win. You don't achieve that if you lack heart, couldn't care less what he did in the amateurs, this forum is about the professional game.

    Bowe wins a close, hard fought decision over Frazier

    Watch Bowe vs Cooper, with the difference of Joe getting up more.

    Rummy himself explained in a video they did not agree on money. Bowe's managers might have been afraid that a potential loss would affect their income, but Bowe certainly wasn't afraid of Lewis.

    I don’t remember Frazier getting KO’d bounced around by George yes but never knocked out and I don’t think Bowe is even in the Foreman ball park as far as power is concerned.

    Bowe chews Lenny up like Bubble gum and spits him out, politics saved Lewis.

    I like Rummy, he's a great guy who makes great videos, but his word isn't law. Bowe throwing his belt in the ****ing bin is a duck, no matter how you slice it or how you try and justify it. Lewis wouldve stopped him at any time too.

    Can't even call me bias, I prefer Bowe to Lewis anyway.

    Okay, no George Big Daddy beats the sh1t out of the overrated Brit, Jamaican creature in 1992 when he dropped his belt in the bin.
    Riddick was just done with the best version of Evander meanwhile Lenny was poleaxing a finished Razor Ruddock and not far from being nearly being outboxed by Bruno and taken to the sword by Oliver McCall.

    When it could’ve happened it was an easy win for Bowe over the reckless unpolished Lenny, anywhere after that Lennox wins a tough bout against a much more diminished fat daddy Bowe.

    Lewis stops Bowe at any time. Bowe was too easy to hit for that power and speed.
