    Lewis-Bowe.

    Oh no, that's right, "there would've been very little interest or money in it".

    Damn these fights should have happened. I think we would have gotten a trilogy from Bowe and Lewis had the first fight happened in 93. They would have been the best, most skilled, big man's fight in HW history. The public would have wanted to see them fight again after a great fight in 93.

    I think Bowe would have won the 1st fight in 93 by 9th round KO.
    Lewis would have won the rematch in 95 by a competitive but clear UD.
    And then in 96, Lewis would have knocked Bowe out in the rubber match pretty easily by the 6th round (Bowe too far deterioted here).

    So Lewis would have won the trilogy 2-1, but what a great trilogy it would have been. It would have elevated both guy's stock.

    I think both a Holyfield Tyson fight somewhere from 89-91, and a Bowe/Lewis trilogy from 93-96 would have elevated the 90s heavies right there with the 70s heavies for all time eras. (in addition to having the Bowe/Holyfield trilogy the same as before).

    I would've loved to have seen Evander Holyfield and Ike Ibeabuchi go at it
