Bowe: Was Futch right?

[Dia bando]

Yeah Bowe fizzled quick after Holyfield I agree. I think if Bowe was ever gonna get Lennox it would have been when they were supposed to fight also, that was his only chance in this reality I agree with that too.

But to be honest the other man was likely right, Lewis had even then that supreme confidence like a lion entering an unarmed village.

What was the motivation behind the chicken Bowe event? Was he really that terrified of Lewis? I find it hard to swallow that big Riddick Bowe would be that afraid of Lewis that he would publicly make a complete coward and fool of himself and split up the titles which to this day are all but unified.

Fighters that have beaten there opponents, in previous encounters have that edge, when Bowe fought Lewis in there amateurs, they were evenly matched both big guys with good skills, but
I remember watching that fight, Bowe got hit he was out on his feet.!

Going into the pro game, I feel that lose had mentally scared Bowe and he did not fancy his chances, against Lewis, if they had fought you would have to back Lewis.
I liked Lewis but you could get infuriated watching him sometimes, he could be lazy and negative,
then he could be magnificent, when you watched him your just not sure which fighter would turn up, but that's boxing, the very best can look crap on any given day.

Ha ha, mate you summed up Lewis totally. When he was on he beats everybody. I can't bet on either Klitschko to beat a sizzling LEnnox Lewis. But he got incredibly lazy sometimes. He just got too complacent at times, thinking he was immune to punches. Both his KO losses were a result of it.

But gotta pick him over Bowe in 92, you are quite right. Would have been a great fight though. Probably the signature fight of the 90's.
