Well if McCall and Rahman could knock him out Bowe could but he was not iron chinned himself. That being said it was not Lewis who ran from the fight so i going with Lewis. Bowe wanted no part of the man maybe he was not very sure of his chances with Lewis so he throw the title away.
That was classic. Don't know whether it was Rahman himself recalling the shot, or whether I read the description later in Sports Illustrated.... but either way, it was like a punch with it's own sonic boom. Rahman went down and laid flat on his back with his arms outstretched in the middle of the ring. It was so definitive it seems like he could've still been there when the lights were turned down and the janitors were sweeping the arena. Sweet too..... given the abuse Lewis had suffered from Rahman on national TV at Roy Firestone's sports talk show.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
It would have been a war, Lewis would have wilted if he faced the Bowe that fought Holyfield. Would not have gone 8 in my estimation. Certainly would end in a KO for Bowe at some stage of the game. Bowe was built for the professional league, Lewis was a good fighter than moulded himself into a great champion over time!
Bigger man George, bigger punch!
