On reflection i do believe that Bowe was very intimidated by Lewis, more than anyone else. I think Bowe couldn't forget what happened at the Olympics, new that Lewis had improved even more in every aspect and would have had his number.
I feel thats why they never fought.
Bowe threw The WBC strap in the garbage on live TV "If He (lewis) wants the belt he can come get it"..........Chump move.Indeed He was Wary of Lewis big time.
He went on to make 2 defenses against such world "threats" in Jesse Furgusson and Washed out of Re-hab Michael Dokes
Technicley you can say "The Boggie Man" earned his Shot by beating out of shape Ray mercer(Bowe fight pending next) in the Infamous Bribe fight that went to court.
