Lewis beat Bowe in the olympics in 1988 BUT
I beleive that prime Bowe in '92 would have easily beaten Lewis at his best. If not on the outside then he could have taken it inside and he would have definitely beaten him there. He had all of the tools to do it and he had more of a chin than Lewis but Bowe got fat and lazy and when the time came.......he just quit. One of his trainers was interviewed a while back and he talked about how towards the end Bowe wouldn't take training seriously and how he just ate crap when he was supposed to be in camp.
If a guys heart isn't in it anymore then his heart isn't in it anymore. I know that the Lewis fans love to point out how Bowe surrendered the belt, but if you could have put a fighters heart in Bowe, Lewis' would have had another loss on his record.
Oh well could have, should have, would have.......fact remains that he quit.........though I really don't believe it was out of fear as much as it was laziness.
