From Dan Rafael at ESPN.COM/Boxing
"I'm a normal person. I have dreams, daydreams or whatever,...I've dreamed about boxing Riddick Bowe. If they want to do an oldies show, let's bring back Riddick Bowe for the fight that never happened."
"He waits until I am in retirement to call out my name," said Lewis, who still has animosity toward Bowe. "I will come out of retirement to beat up that guy. I'll beat him up for free."
Lewis beat Bowe in the 1998 Olympic final to win the gold medal but was ducked by Bowe in the pros. Bowe even tossed a championship belt in a trash can in a publicity stunt to avoid a mandatory defense against Lewis. Bowe, of course, is scheduled to fight for the first time in three and a half years on Dec. 13 in Germany on the undercard of Wladimir Klitschko's title defense against Rahman. Lewis will be ringside for HBO and plans on watching Bowe's fight.
