Bowe addressed why the Lewis fight didn't happen in this interview.

@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING bowe was in a close fight with biggs for 8 rounds until he knocked him out .. hes next fight was with LENNOX LEWIS... lewis knocked him out in 3 rounds really easy ..if bowe was so great after he beat HOLYFIELD why would he throw a belt in a trashcan instead of fight LENNOX LEWIS ..cause he knew lewis would ko him... even back in 96.. he was asked about a fight again with lennox lewis he said no ... he wanted to fight either ..golota or tyson ...

I'm not sure if Bert Cooper was a credit.Or Tyrell Biggs for that matter. But these are opponents that had been in there with top fighters and had good experience.
-
@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING Bowe really never fought anybody anyway but HOLYFIELD ... he beat old michael dokes and jesse ferguson ...bums like herbie hide and jorge luis gonzalez ..who else??
-
Lewis is like Klitscho.He became a better fighter as time went on.In the early 90's Lewis was very limited.The fights that would have exposed his limitations at the time are Bowe,Holyfield & Tyson.By the time he fought Holyfield & Tyson they werent the same fighters.

@ESSENCEOFEACHTHING are you for real ?? Lewis Knocked out razor ruddock after he gave mike tyson 2 hard fights.... Bowe was always scared of lennox lewis .. even rock newman said bowe didnt really wanna fight lewis at anytime ...
-
Bowe would have beaten Lewis if they would have met in the pro ranks.At the time Bowe was a much better fighter than Lewis.Lewis didn't have many tools at all.This was way before he was trained by Emmanuel Stewart.Lewis got better as he got older.

@picogiants Oh right. Pretty amazing, two undisputed HW champions from the same highschool in Brownsville.

@capablemachine bummy mike
Compare Riddicks' speach with the way he spoke in the early 90s.
It's a big difference (...).
I'm not sure if he should return to pro-boxing.

But Bowe fought extremely well on the inside for a big man.He he would have stayed focused through out his career he would have went down in history as one of the best Heavy Weights in history.
