    Cannot happen. He would have to rely on his right hand for everything and that would slow down and taking punches at 53 would not be advised. With his right hand? Who knows. I don't think he would be that great now. Even in his prime he was knocked out two times by guys who shouldn't have beaten him.

    It can when you don't take care of yourself, dude probably hasn't touched a weight or broke a sweat in years. He probably never even trained for his Muay Thai bout.

    He showed a lot of arrogance at times.

    Have you heard Lewis' commentary, he sounds as thick as pig ****.

    Bowe was always a good few inches smaller than Lewis.

    No one can get away from Lewis right hand. He said so after the Botha fight.

    What if Joe Louis was still living? And at age 104 wanted to make a comeback.... with modern training techniques, he might be just as successful as he was in 1938!

    Imagine growing up with the crazy neighbour who says he knocked out Mike Tyson. And then finding out he was telling the truth!

    Bowe looking like a pumped up Forest Whitaker

    Sad and pathetic. It's been 25 years, there are more important things in life. It's like he never found anything else that defined him as a person outside of boxing.

    He could have been a force maybe until 2008-2010

    He had the size skills and power.

    I would favor a Emmanuel steward trained Lewis over a steward trained Wlad until maybe 2007 because of Lewis mental strength. I believe he is a tougher person than Wlad, who is very insecure.

    However Vitali would have beaten him by 2005-2006 no matter how well he trained, vitali was less talented than Wlad but a real warrior.


    A 45 year old Lewis still beats these fat Arreola, Tony Thompson types until 2010
    The heavyweight division was shockingly poor at that point.

    Lewis looks in good health, as does Earnie Shavers.
    Shavers is in his 70s ! He looks good for an old man.

    Bowe is actually the youngest guy in the line-up and looks the least fit (along with Douglas maybe, who is 7 years older).

    Bowe has been saying Lewis likes boys bums for a while now, is there any kiss and tells that back his claim up?

    LL looks great at his age...and Shavers looks good too....and I hope and pray that Buster Douglas has many years ahead of him.
