    Yeah I think in a trilogy Rockman would take it in the third fight. Lenny knew better then a third fight with Rockman.

    He would have battered Lewis in the early 90s and knuckles the Klitschkos from one turn buckle to the other , savagely.

    I would only take Mike Tyson and Foreman to beat Bowe at his very best. He was the complete package for a very short period of time.

    I had him losing to Mercer. Matter of fact I still remember going back to work that Monday and anyone who watched the fight thought Mercer won hands down. I'll go one further and edit in that I think Lewis is one of the most overrated fighters on this forum

    I had Mercer over Lewis as well. Backed him up to where Lewis couldn't get away which made Lewis uncomfortable the entire fight. Actually it could've been a draw since Lewis won the last round in my opinion.

    Back to Riddick Bowe...I believe he beats Lewis prime for prime as well. Awesome tribute video.

    I cant agree more he had the sloppy seconds of actual greats as the bulk of his career. one "win" against Vitali who beat no one a brutally close call with Shannon Briggs the guy who should have lost to Papa George and that was the height of his career in terms of prime fighters on his resume you can include Grant if you want but then again why would you it changes nothing.

    Yeah, Lenny was scared of Rahman he used to let Rockman kiss his wife hot on the lips in public.

    It was Papa Smurf Eddie Futch. He didnt think Bowe could ever beat him. He knew Lennox had his number. Newman didnt want to take the risk thats why they ditched the belt in the trash. Bowe's only chance was to honor their agreement & fight Lennox after the Holyfield fight. That is the only time he appeared 100% trained. He would rather eat than train

    Bowe was one of the very best ever, for a very short period of time.I believe he would have beaten Lewis in his short prime.But he was still a very dirty fighter, allways hitting opponent when there down or on 1 knee.

    Rahman landed a punch while Lewis was taunting. Also your shitting on Lewis for two bad nights, should we just forget literally everything he accomplished just because you don’t like him?

    Might want to check your facts on the internet about that. Things weren't that easy.

    The KD of Holyfield in the first fight was an obvious rabbit punch.

    I remember that!! At the time, I was like "he clearly hit him in the back of the head why is nobody saying anything about that?"
