For sure it would have been a great and hard fight to call if it happened then, and if there were ever a time Bowe would have beaten Lewis that was about it it. Yet, if someone clearly ducks a fighter, and then goes on to do little while the other guy becomes a dominant champion over the next decade and beats everyone, they generally aren't going to get the benefit of the doubt are they? There was also the fact Lewis beat Bowe in the amateurs, he was a bigger man and bigger puncher than anyone Bowe ever fought.
