Riddick Bowe confronts Lennox Lewis at the Wilder - Fury weigh in

Exactly. Bowe at his peak would almost certainly have beaten Lewis. People like to blame Bowe because of that stupid publicity stunt of throwing the belt in the trash, but the reality is, they had other options (like the planned fight against Ray Mercer and a rematch with Holyfield) which were more lucrative. Lewis was relatively unknown in the U.S. at the time and a Lewis fight down the line would generate more money, AFTER he gained more noteriety. In fact, a Bowe-Lewis fight was all but signed for 1995, and then Lewis went and got himself knocked out in his tune-up against McCall.

With Lewis' suspect chin, a prime Bowe would have been a major threat to beat him. If guys like McCall and Rahman could do it, Bowe sure could.

Lewis lost to Mercer in my opinion

Lewis had a great chin. He took lots of bombs from big punchers, only lost twice and avenged both.
Bowe never did anything compared with Lewis in the HW division.
And that is proven F A C T.

And yet you keep up your agenda.
Oh well....

Keep on spewing Lewis team propaganda. Fact is, Lewis is the ONLY top level HW champ who was knocked out twice in the early rounds by fighters on the level of McCall and Rahman. The only one. And that alone raises SERIOUS questions about his ability to take a punch, including his ability to take a punch from a prime Riddick Bowe.
