    If it had taken place in 1992 Lennox would have lost.Lewis was much better as he got older.Bowe was probably at his best in 92/93.

    I agree that if this fight had taken place right after the first Holy fight, Bowe wins.
    What happened at the am level doesn't mean crap here. I'm sure you could dig up 100 examples of a fighter that got beat at the am level only to go on and win against the same fighter as a pro.

    Wasn't there some big Cuban fighter than beat both LL and Bowe in the ams but got destroyed by Bowe as a pro? Wasn't his name Gonzalez or something like that?

    Lennox was right in Chicken's head. The call of ' I think he'll sidestep me' was absolutely spot on from Lennox and I think the reasons he gave were also accurate.

    I'd love to see a psychologist analyse Bowe's behaviour in that video. I am certain that he'd confirm the fear in Bowe's eyes.

    Perhaps you should try facts and not make things up!

    Bowe V Holyfield - Bowe was 243lb
    Bowe Golota 1 - Bowe was 252lb
    Bowe Golota II - Bowe was 235lb

    Incidently Bowe was also 235lb in his 1st fight with Holyfield


    Now this is evidence.

    Riddick worked hard and got in good shape for the second Golota fight but by that time he was done, way past his prime. Huge weight fluctuations, the world tour, and Bowe's eating problems killed him.

    henry tillman had tysons "number" in the amateurs

    everyone knows bowe pulled out of that final 4 tournament and didnt fight lewis...i doubt he was scared. i think he hates lewis so much he just didnt want to give him a shot..... either way, it was a ***** move on bowes part....fear is not a word in an elite fighters vocabulary
