Lewis vs Bowe: Who would have won in the pros?

And we're comparing Gonzalez to Lewis because??

Fact is Lewis is proven to be an elite boxer/puncher of the highest order so why would we compare him to Gonzalez at all.

Talk about a poor ****ysis, it's borderline pathetic.

 

The fact that Bowe was prepared to face Gonzalez in the pros and was unwilling to face Lewis as a pro tells its own story.

He clearly thought he could beat Gonzalez as a pro; if he really thought he could beat Lewis he would have fought him - why give up your belt to avoid someone you believe you could beat?

Hmmm...

 

I have yet to hear an intelligent response to this question. All I hear is Bowe could have done this, Bowe could have done that, but when Bowe had the chance to fight Lewis, he ran for the hills, and probably had to stop 2-3 times along the way to catch his breath.

 

Bowe = one razor thin points loss against a ATG

Lewis = two one punch knock out losses to two journeyman.

Bowe legacy = Almost ko'ed a prime Holyfield and turned his lights off in the third encounter.

Lewis legacy = 32 rounds with a washed up Holyfield and a Hawaii dope smoking shell of a shell Tyson impersonator.

VonLewisfan to the courtesy phone, you have work to do.

 

Or alternatively,

A dirty gutless worm looking for crooked scabby Murican refs and judges to save his sorry ass against a Polish immigrant, TWICE.

:roll::roll::roll::roll:

 

Aren't you the one who said there was no politics involved when it came to the WBC and scoring favoritism towards JC Chavez. Now you're saying the crooked Americans stole the 2 Bowe fights from Golota. I suggest you watch the tape of those two fights and count the number of low blows Golota lands.

Anyway, that was a shot Bowe. Of course that Bowe would have gotten crushed by Lewis. It bears little as to what would have happened in 92-95. Arguments can and have been made either way. It would have been a great fight.

 

Because stupid Lewis fans always use the amateur fight as to why Lewis would win. Well Gonzalez beat Bowe twice in the amateurs and far more convincing than Lewis did. It's a stupid point as the amateurs mean little but delusional Lewis fans are always using this as their main reasoning.
Lewis was knocked out twice by fighters not even in the same class as Bowe.

 

Jesus H, you must actually work at being as dim as you are. Golota was AHEAD on all cards in both fights. How the f££k does that equate to the alleged ( by you ) crooked scoring in Whitaker / Chavez?

I am fully aware of the amount of low blows Golota landed on Bowe, just as I am equally aware how Bowe made a meal of some of them, and indeed landed low blows himself.

He was LOOKING for a way out. Simple as that.

 

And yet Bowe ducked him. End of Story.

Having to comb through Lewis' career and focusing on the worst two performances he had and use that as some kind of justification for Bowe winning is a pretty lame argument.

Why not focus on the fights that happened before they were suppose to fight, that's what Bowe was undoubtedly doing.

He certainly had no idea that Rahman would KO Lewis years into the future, so it's completely irrelevant.

Hell the Olympic outcome is more relevant than that because it would be in the collective memory of them both prior to the fight taking (or in this cause not) place.

Maybe Bowe was surprised by the combination of speed and power that Lewis hit him with, and thought that even though he beat Holyfield, a much smaller man, that he didn't have to tools to overcome these disadvantages.

 

Oh yeah because that useless dollop Bowe was so intelligent he could look into Lewis's eyes and see he was going to lose to one guys in 2 years time, and then nearly 7 years later lose again.:roll::roll::roll::roll:

He saw Lewis destroy Rudduck in quick fashion and his rusty sherriff's badge started twitching. End of.

 

This nails the subject square on the head.

 

This is a load of nonsense. That Olympic result was bogus ,Bowe very much wanted to to get revenge.

Gonzalez happily fought Bowe for 300 large.

Lewis refused refused 3 million - the same money Bowe got when he challenged Holyfield - plus he wanted options on Bowe.

Lewis priced himself out. Nothing Bowe could do.

If Lewis really felt he could have won , he would not have made so many demands and did whatever it took just to get Bowe in the ring to take the Undisputed championship.
He didn't. He went with Don Kings money instead and fought Tucker for 10 million.

You must understand that Newman was an outsider and King , Dan Dova and the rest did all they could to sabotage him and Bowe's career. Its never above board when Don King is in your corner.
Bowe feared no man. Especially not Lewis

 

I know Golota was ahead. The scoring has nothing to do with it. You said in another thread discussing the questionable scoring of Chavez/Whitaker that "there are no politics in boxing, no bad decisions due to purposefull bad scoring." Now in this thread you are spewing **** about how the crooked American Ref. bailed Bowe out. I was just pointing out your hypocracy about boxing politics.

 

Several commentators very early in this thread laid out their reasoning for Bowe winning based on each guy's style of fighting, strengths and weaknesses observed from fights in the 1991-1994 time period. Yes, Lewis looked good against Ruddock. But he looked very beatable in several fights that occurred around the same time period - Bruno, Tucker and Jackson. Anyway, I believe if Lewis attacked Bowe the same way he fought Ruddock, Bowe's good chin and power would work to his advantage. Also, Ruddock barely through a right hand. The right hand was one of Bowe's best punches, and Lewis was succeptable to right hands. Even in the Ruddock fight, Lewis is holding his left hand dangerously low, asking for the right hand. Ruddock didn't have it. Alos, Rid**** had a much better jab than Ruddock. Lewis wouldn't be able to out jab Rid**** as easily as he did Ruddock to set up his own right. In a battle of jabs and right hands, I favor Bowe over Lewis.
