Riddick Bowe — Heavyweight Monster

Great and thoughtful response.

I'm doing a 180. You are correct.

 

lol

 

Well he did really well to earn the win against Holyfield a styles thing, and only lost three years later in the rematch after losing the last of his already low morale, the guy was actually meant to have Bipolar of the same cloth as fury as reported by people who knew him at the gym,

He did not beat better then Lewis overall am not insane, but you could argue he has the better single win. I also do not hate Lewis he is just not so good as everyone makes out.

 

The great Lenny who lost to Mcall and Rockman.

 

The great Lewis who has a win over everyone he fought, multi world champion, undisputed, and who beat 14 champions and 3 hall of famers. I’d bet my life there’s some fighters you consider great that didn’t accomplish as much as Lewis. Your argument is ridiculous

 

Jorge Luis Gonzales? The ATG who beat both Lewis and Bowe in the ams. Wish I could find Jorge's KO of an opponent who tried to pull himself up by the ropes and couldn't quite get a hold of em. Spectacular KO.

 

I believe the semis in 1992 were supposedly supposed to be Holyfield-Ruddock and Bowe-Lewis. Looking back that would've awesome...oh absolutely!

 

"14 Champions" Past status means nothing when they were all over the hill or were nothing but champs in name, 3 HOFers oh yes Zombie Tyson Old Vander and Vitali* right! Good argument there mate. maybe he should fight Sly Stalone he is in the HOF too that might raise him a little higher in regards to greatness.

 

Top contender is a matter of circumstance even LHWs have been TC in some eras due to weak comp Briggs and Grant are two examples that come to mind, yes Vitali is his best win he who went on to beat the same level of poor comp and become the next over rated SHW god tier forum fighter like Lenny.

 

Tommy had aids, Bruno was nothing and gave him a boxing lesson, Golota is... Golota and Ruddock lost his chin to Mike.

 

Lewis was a top 10 ATG imo, only Louis, Ali, Holmes, Holyfield, and maybe Foreman are ahead of him. He ultimately beat every man he ever faced in the ring, and was a multiple world champ.

 

The great Lenny who beat every man he faced, a guy who faced real sized, real skilled modern heavies who could PUNCH. I will again assert and defend the assertion that he faced the greatest and deepest selection of powerpunchers of any heavy champ as he waltzed right through the 'roid era...

Meanwhile Bowe got untracked by the likes of Elijah Tillery. That's the mental stuff of a true champion on display.
