    Pierre Coetzer said that he hit harder than Foreman.

    It doesn't matter. He has nothing to prove after the trilogy with Holyfield, let alone prime Holyfield who Lennox never fought a version of him anywhere as good at all.
    Lennox even struggled with this Holyfield

    Bowe was a ATG but his resume is weaker than Amir Khan's chin

    Can you really be classed as a monster when your career consists of one great name?

    If Bowe was as delusional as you he would have have fought Lewis again, but he wasn’t so he threw his title in the trash rather than getting KO’d again. It seems to be very hard for you to deal with but Bowe and everyone else (except you) knew he would lose badly again, that’s why it was no rematch and that’s why it will always be a question mark behind Bowe’s career.

    He definitely was just on his physical abilities alone. On his best night, in shape he gives a lot of heavyweights trouble.

    Yeah the only difference is Bowe already proved himself with the Holyfield trilogy.
    Whether if Lewis would have defeated him or not, Bowe beat a way better version of Evander while Lewis missed the entire era

    Lewis missed the entire era ?

    He beat Morrison, Holyfield, Golota, Ruddock, Mercer, Bruno, Tucker, McCall, Briggs, during the 90s.

    More like Bowe missed out on the era he only fought Holyfield in the 90s and no other real notable Heavyweight. And by the mid 90s Golota was beating him to a pulp which forced Bowe to retire.
     
    Mike Cannon and Smoochie like this.
