    for a one off fight against Riddick Bowe would you pay to see it on the box office? fans never got to see the fight in their prime, but what about now? if so who would win????

    Bowe is horrible these days.

    I have no idea what Lewis would be like today, its been so long since he was gone. He would probably win... They would also demand a Wlad or Vitali fight against Lewis if he came back. Wlad I can see winning easy today, especially considering Lewis has been KOed twice when he was out of shape and he would be no where near his best and liable to get KOed again.

    Really he is smart to stay retired, it helps his legacy because we dont see him fighting and loosing and past his best. It would be like if Morales retired after the first Pac fight, he retired on top after he got the Vitali win. Eventually he would have lost and started to damage his record.

    I'd watch it if it was for free. Meaningless fight these days.
    If Lewis could get himself in a halfways decent shape I say he'd win by KO.

    Lewis beats Bowe any day any time in HIStory.
    As a huge Lewis fan. I'd pay for it.
    But I draw the line at Lewis vs Pacquiao!

    it would be trinidad jones on a completely different level.


    yeah i would see it. why not, 2 top 90's fighters who were suppose to fight who sadly never got the chance....

    i think it will sell well...i would oppose the fight slightly

    Lewis would win by KO with only his jab at this point against Bowe. Bowe is beyond shot and has no business near a ring.

    I woldn't pay much because the fight wouldn't go beyond two rounds. I'd watch it though!
