    Yep. You have to take into account The Chin and we all saw that Lennox was packing a Glass Jaw.

    Bowe is one or the most overrated fighters ever. Lewis would have demolished him.

    Bowe's lack of confidence against Lewis in particular would have put him on the back foot getting pounded in the face with Lewis ramrod jab.

    I don’t even think getting caught by McCall and Rahman is that big a deal. Rahman could punch and McCall had a really good right hand. These things happen, especially at heavyweight. Lewis consistently showed much better skill throughout his career.

    Well Lewis did not do too bad for as you say it "Packing a glass jaw", he was the undisputed world heavyweight champion, and upon retiring no one achieved undisputed until Usyk did, yeah Lewis was damned useless:duh

    Didn't fight Bowe. Didn't fight Tyson until it was pointless. Was starched by two very mediocre opponents. Leave the Chin Talk to people who know what they are talking about. Lennox Lewis was a Glass Jawed fighter.

    Bowe couldn't box at a distance to save his life, he is a big man who was outclassed by any other big with a pulse Golota is a prime example of how limited Bowe was.

    Bowe was alright when facing Golota, but first he came overweight, then lost too much weight. Combined with Golota's ocassional surges of brilliance, it made for quite a beating.

    Completely disagree. Gonzalez was huge and beat bowe in the amateurs, was also undefeated before Bowe smashed him.

    Lets not pretend the rematch with McCall meant anything. The guy would have lost to any ranked HW that day.

    Sorry Gonzales was trash he lost by KO every time he stepped up. Bowe couldn't even handle Golota's limited skill on the outside. Lewis would of kicked his a** just like the first time they met.

    Ah yes the mythical one fight Bowe was in his prime right... all the other poor showings were because he was not in his prime like he was once in his whole career lol.
