Wholeheartedly agree with this.
It's been almost 30 years, but it still narks me that this fight never happened; even moreso when I see Bowe trolling, insulting & trying to goad Lennox Lewis into a having a fight that he himself ducked out of in '93.
I don't 100% blame Bowe, as I think he was badly advised by his manager, Rock Newman, but ultimately, he could have insisted & the fight would have been made as Lewis was more than up for it.
Bowe missed his chance big time, because had they fought in '93, I think Riddick would have won.
Bowe was in his pomp, whereas Lewis was still learning; he was quite reckless and over reliant on his big Right hand.
In that period before Manny Steward got hold of him, he would have been vulnerable to a top quality operator like Bowe.
After McCall 1, when Steward took over Lennox's training, I don't think Bowe would have beaten him then.
