Lennox Lewis on fighting Riddick Bowe CURRENTLY

[Lance Uppercut]

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.

He is justntaking digs at Bowe and the fact he is still fighting....There was a lot of bad blood between the two that Bowe caused....Anyone remember him throwing the title in the garbage and telling Lewis to dig in the trash for it?........Then shit talked him for years afterward.....

I think Lennox would fight Bowe in an Alley just to get his hands on him...

BTW Bowe is younger then Lennox by 3 years

Wow coming back to the fight the brain damaged Riddock Bowe, respect

Maybe the winner can go after Holyfield for a third or fourth time, with the loser (providing it's Evander or Riddick) going after Nikolay Valuev's belt.

If Lennox comes back he should fight Wlad, Vitali and Haye.

May as well put him out of his misery. Clearly Bowe is going to end up on skid row one way or another within five years.

[Lance Uppercut]

Although I don't like the prospect of Bowe fighting on, I wouldn't mind seeing Lewis knock him out. Bowe ducked him at the time when a fight between them would have been huge, and held Lewis back from THE heavyweight Championship for over 5 years.

If anyone deserves to knock brain damaged bowe out, its Lewis.

I think Lewis is speaking out of anger. Lewis was aching to fight the guy and Bowe just wouldn't go for it. Let the guy vent.

I for one never understood why Bowe didn't fight Lennox. I thought he would beat him easy in the pros. He possesed one of the best jabs in heavyweight history,his overhand right was no cupcake also. Maybe it was as easy as it sounded Riddick was afraid of Lennox.

I think he was. Lewis stopped in the Olympics and was hard for Bowe to get over that.

[gudnite vienna]

Lewis was too good for any heavyweight if the last 20 years.. Fact

Riddick Bowe was taught a boxing lesson by a shot overweight Tony Tubbs, when Riddick Bowe realized he couldn't deal with fighters with good jabs, he stayed away from Lennox Lewis. Just look how badly Andrew Golota dominated Riddick Bowe with the jab, Riddick Bowe was just a sitting duck for that double jab.

I think Bowe losing to Golota had something to do with him already having marbles for brains. I have no clue how Bowe can get a boxing license NOW.

P.T Barnum was a man ahead of his time.Maybe we could get Holyfield to special guest ref and make a day of it?

[GAME]

Id love to see it and it would go the same way as the last time they met in the ring

[ross]

Bowe, of course, is scheduled to fight for the first time in three and a half years.

That long!!!!!!!!

Bloney heck!! I remember Zumbrun was interviewed after the Bowe fight and they asked him what would happen in a rematch, Billy replied with
"His comeback ends there"

He hurt Bowe BAD at will, to Bowes credit, he did have enough about him to see the fight through but it was only Billy Zumbrun.

Bowe needs to be locked up for his own good because even at this stage of his career he would take the Lewis fight for the cash and would try to put up a scrap while in there.

If Bowe were to do what Holyfield has and just show he can still move and put a few punches together then maybe but its been a long time since he decided to make a comeback and that comeback didnt go anywhere and after another 3 and a half years it aint gonna get any better.

Although if Bowe has set his heart on this, get him some real fat outa shape ex middle to shove around and go from there, you cant deny a man earning a living but someone does have to look out for him and find some real soft touches.
