    The positioning of Bowe and Lewis in this list , really emphasizes how little an American has to do to get in the top 20 and how much a non American has to do.
    A bit like the judging of the Holyfield Lewis I fight.

    :lol:

    Is this the same Dempsey who ducked Harry Wills and Harry Greb? How on earth can this be justified in one million years?

    This i gotta hear.

    This is shocking...are you just trying to court controversy??

    Bowe 3 places below Lewis!?!? You must be on drugs!!!

    Prime Bowe is a good H2H fighter, but this is insane!!!

    Vastly overrated.

    Far far FAR from shot when he got demolished by Golota.Had Golota not turned into a nut and actually became champ they wouldnt be calling Bowe shot.As it is people can not phathom the thought of how Golota did it because of the way he turned out later(dont forget Andrew won Bronze in 88' right behind Bowe's Silver and Lewis' gold.

    Bowe's resume is pretty weak overall.

    I lost faith in Andrew after the 2nd fight.Im just calling it like it is.

    Bowe for a so called ATG has a pretty soft resume when compared to his peers.Dumping his belt to duck Lewis is shameful on any level by anyone's standards.

    Hell no! He shamelessly avoided Lennox Lewis, and got pummled by Golata , who was determined to lose. The two wins over Holyfield were significant , but really the only thing he accomplished in his career. Two good fights don't make an ATG.

    No, Bowe isn't a Top 20 ATG Heavyweight in my humble opinion. I think you pegged it right with 25-30.

    Golota made Bowe a "done fighter" and I believe most people believe that as well.
