I would have rather seen Bowe-Tyson myself

Lewis-Bowe right then would have been a hotly contested fight and could have gone either way.

Riddick was 2 years younger YET he was getting the better fights and beating EVERYONE he was put in with...problem is Bowe never fought Bruno, Rudduck, Morrison, etc....the only guy he looked like a World Beater against was Holyfield....

A Holyfield whom 6 years later Lennox Lewis STRUGGLED MERCIFULLY against.

I think Bowe had more confidence at the pro level...anything can happen when 2 guys fight in the pros...amateur fights CAN be telling and they can also be flukes....COTTO-PINTO for one
