    What if Bowe would have defended his WBC title against #1 Lennox Lewis in the summer of 93? Would Bowe get revenge from their poorly stopped match in the Olympic finals of 88, or would Lewis finish what he started?

    Lewis would have finished where he left off. And Bowe probably knew that too.

    Definitely, or Bowe would have boxed him.

    Riddick Bowe was an exceptional fighter at that point. Lennox especially in 1992 would have struggled against someone so big, durable and most importantly skilled both on the outside and the inside.

    If Bowe wants to do it, then the sooner the better, from his point of view.
