    Yeah Bowe had a **** jab..:patsch The undisputed heavyweight champion who lost one fight his entire career was **** compared to the likes of a shot Tucker, shot Biggs, Golota, and Rahman and ****ing Henry Akinwande! :lol::lol:

    Lenny Lewis proved he had a 5* ATG legend of a jab equal to that of Larry Holmes, But to pretend Bowe didn't have a mint jab is pretty ******ed. Riddy Bowe had a bloody brilliant ramrod jab when he used it - watch him use it very well VS 28-0 Holyfield in 1992 And 23-0 Gonzalez in 1995. Big Daddy Bowe had a even better jab then Raymond Mercer imo, And Mercer gets a tonne of credit for his jab.

    Based on that criteria Rocky Marciano has the best jab of all time. Bowe didn't boss opponents with his jab or control fights with it and he often got outjabbed - much more so than Lewis

    I think you need to rewatch Lewis-Holyfield, Lewis landed countless uppercuts and had Holy realing from them. Lewis always landed brutal uppercuts on the inside

    Lennox's chin was proven

    Perhaps, though I feel Bowe faced a better calibre of fighter than Klitschko.

    Vitali has beaten whoever has been put in front of him since the Lewis defeat admittedly. It's not his fault that the only other decent fighter in the division happens to be his brother.

    You need to rewatch Bowe Holyfield and see the pace at which Holyfield and Bowe fought at. Holyfield was NOT the same fighter when he faced Lewis so stop making that comparison. It was 5 years later.
    You can put up all the chin videos up you want, Lewis was still knocked out by guys who punched just like Bowe and Holyfield was a proven accurate puncher who dropped guys Lennox Lewis couldnt even drop.

    Then you need to watch Mercer Lewis and compare that to Bowe Holyfield, because thats the pace at which this fight would be fought. Watch how Bowe works the body and puts his punches together against Holyfield. Then watch how Mercer does the same thing to Lewis. Mercer was not as good as Bowe or Holyfield in 92 and either was Lewis ever in this type of fight.

    Riddy Bowe got out-jabbed VS Golota X2. He still won them 2 fights.

    Lenny Lewis got out-jabbed by Bruno, Mercer And Vitali. He still won them 3 fights.

    Every classic member knows Lewis has maybe teh 2nd Greatest jab @heavy after Holmes, But he could be out-jabbed like everyone else.
