In 1992 I would've lnet very slightly towards Bowe - but I would probably have been wrong!

I think younger version of Lewis was a bit reckless and Bowe would be able to catch him.
Re: Riddick Bowe vs Lennox Lewis Who Wins ?
Lewis was good with Davenport who taught him how to use the jab effectively especially against Gary Mason, but when he had Pepe for his trainer he was rubbish and lost against McCall which said it all. I think Bowe was desperate to fight him after his two performances against Tucker and Bruno as he was beatable. Bowe would have won then
However once Manny became his trainer Lennox was virtually unbeatable, although Bowe did have a good winning streak around the same time when he beat a series of unbeaten fighter from Buster Mattis, Larry Donald, Gonzales and Hide, but I would go for Lennox then.

I think Bowe always avoided Lewis like the plague!

Bowe vs Lewis was going to happen all Lewis had to do was beat McCall and we all know what happened there and by the time Lewis had got himself at the top again Bowe was already badly faded.
Re: Riddick Bowe vs Lennox Lewis Who Wins ?
Lewis v Ruddock was an eliminator to fight Bowe. Lewis won and Riddick threw the WBC belt in the bin. That's how much Bowe wanted to fight Lewis ;)
Re: Riddick Bowe vs Lennox Lewis Who Wins ?
Bowe was afraid after the Rudduck fight but got his courage after seeing Lewis struggling in his next two fights but Lewis lost to McCall.
Bowe lost his courage again after the bruising encounters with Holyfield in their third fight and was finished as was illustrated in his two fights with Golota.

Yeh true Bowe didn't last to long as champion. I think the way he avoided big punchers and fought smaller and older fighters like Dokes and ferguson is a good indicator that his management weren't that confident in him.
Bowe and Newman might have said they were going to fight Lennox before he lost to McCall but Bowe actually getting in the ring was unlikely.
Lennox would have beaten up Bowe and Ko'd him whenever they fought.

You wouldn't have been leaning, you were actually being sucked in by the intense gravitational field that the fat fucker's vast bulk generated.

I think Riddick Bowe would have picked Lennox Lewis to win.
