If Lennox Lewis didn't beat the S*** out of Riddick Bowe during the olympics, he may have fought him to attempt prove your theory...
amateurs and professionals are 2 different things, Cotto lost to both Abdulaev and Pinto in the ams and well dominated and beat both of their asses in the pro's, i'm sorry but IMO Bowe as a professional was just an all around better fighter, his biggest downfall was his lack of dedication, hence his only loss being to Evander Holyfield, his jab was just as good or better than Lewis, and he had the chin and heart to go to war, unlike the cocky Lewis who got tapped and taken out early against both Rahman and McCall, also the way he hauled ass after his close encounter against Klitschko, Bowe could have been the best HW of our era but due to laziness his chance slipped away
