Why are people so certain Lewis would have beaten Bowe?

A shame we were denied. Great point that Bowe's inside style may have played against him.

But Lennox pre Steward. .the one that fight Bruno....would've had a helluva time beating a prime Bowe.

Bowe reminded me somewhat of Jimmy Young. He looked unstoppable at times and showed some technical wizardry but couldn’t maintain. Jimmy would embarrass Foreman, beat Lyle and imo beat Ali and then lose to Oscario twice.

I know I sound like a broken record but Bowe is another great example of a guy who had the skills to pay the bills but lacked something upstairs. I believe he was easily discouraged even though some of his fights would suggest otherwise. It’s a fine line imo and with Lewis I think Lennox had him beat upstairs and it would have manifested had they ever fought.

The off balance, pawing jab of Lewis could have cost him against Bowe had Futch been in Big Daddy's corner. A healthy motivated Bowe would have been a lot to handle for anybody.
