If they would've fought when they were supposed to..I'd have to say Riddick Bowe because he had the more superior chin. Both were great finishers but Lennox was prone to getting hurt, and barely hanging on when he fought big punchers.
That's cause bowe was saying some evil shit about lennox,cause he was jealous.degrading his mother,brothers,and personal family.lucky lennox didn't drop him there.get the facts
I used to work with Len's childhood friend in Toronto. Len would pop is sometimes and he was genuinely nice and humble. 5 yeas later I saw him at the Eaton's Centre. I wasn't going to bother the champ but HE APPROACHED ME to say hi. I was nothing to him but he remembered me. I smiled to myself for a week. That's a decent man.

Nah.Bowe has started shit any number of times in the last few years when they’ve been together,like at HOF where cooney and a few others jumped between them.Looked to me Lennox had decided that’s enough.Nobody else here,if he comes with that we’re throwing down
Bowe was always carrying the Olympic defeat to Lewis around with him all his life, instead of letting it go he let it eat him up and treat Lewis with contempt, he chose the wrong attitude! He's a near pennyless ex champion is Bowe
@@paultweedley2026Stop. Lennox Lewis is petty. Lol That's not even a secret. He held on to that animosity of getting confronted on tv for years. Bowe's anger was retaliatory-- that's why he's clearly let it go and Lennox clearly has not.
Dont know if you noticed it, but ever since Tyson and Holyfield started doing interviews and being on podcasts together, Tyson never ONCE mentions anything about being headbutted. He keeps saying hes sorry for biting Holyfields ear, but says nothing about the "headbutts".. Because they never happened. It was always an excuse by Tyson because he couldnt handle losing, and he would have several excuses for every fight he ever lost. In reality Holyfield just got the best of him, and had Mike frustrated that he couldnt get anything going
My sister had to X-Ray Lennox Lewis's hand. She said his fist was the size of her head. She said he was such a nice guy, he hung around and took photos with patients,Doctor's and nurses. Really down to earth.
Reddick Bowe came to Parris island, the Marine training base in South Carolina my last week before I graduated. Allegedly he was only there 3 weeks instead of 12.
Some of my best memories was watching boxing with my Dad as a kid.. I was 10/11/12 and he used to let me stay up with him late and watch the fights.. I spent more time watching my Dad on the opposite couch shouting and punching thin air as if he was in the fight than I did the actual fight on TV.. I was just happy to be sat up watching boxing with him
Lenox was the greatest heavyweight of his era! It’s a shame he and Bowe never fought, that would have been one of the greatest fight of that era! Much RESPECT to Lenox and Riddick on their careers.
@@talibanairport1544 Definitely a knuckle head nergo from NewYork 🗽 . I don't trust Bowe either .... My instincts would tell me .... Hit him; before he strikes you . 🙏🏼💯
Bowe has insulted Lewis for years, questioned his sexuality and this after refusing to fight Lewis when it was the hottest fight on the planet. He only wanted to fight Lewis after they both lost. Good to see him finally giving Lewis some respect, but I don't think he's genuine.
Would have been a real grudge match. Bowe is pissed off. I think he's bitter he didn't get a chance to prove himself in the ring against Lewis, plus of course score a big payday, move toward a ch. belt.

@@cesareantonio6013 Yeah Golota gave Bowe some problems but Golota still lost because he's stupid. Lewis was an elite fighter with a average chin. KO'd with one punch by C+ B- level boxers. Riddick Bowe was also elite boxer, never KO'd. If they fought in prime, Bowe wins by KO, Lenox wins by decision.
It’s time man. You two showed the world how great you were in the ring. Now we see it outside of the ring. Just what the world needs. To see how we can change reality when we choose too. Great job guys!!!
Bowe ran scared of Lennox, even made a show of putting a belt in the bin. There’s even a clip of Holyfield telling bowe that he shit himself and ducked Lewis 😂
@Henry Davis man stop! He turned down the fight twice, he wanted no parts of Lewis. With that bulllshit throwing the belt in the garbage shit.. he got knocked out in the amateurs and had the same thing coming as a pro...
In fairness Riddick Bowe has had many MANY opportunities (in the past) to be the gracious version we're seeing here. And time and time again Bowe has basically acted like a jerk. So I can fully understand why Lennox would be wary.
@@glasschin871 True however, Bowe should have been KOd by Golata (twice) and Lennox had the same guy out in 90 seconds. Riddick didn't fight the range and depth of boxers that Lennox did. In other words Riddick had the good sense to know his limitations and got out before the inevitable happened.
@@philgarrett5498 that was years later when Lewis was under manny steward and a much better fighter. Bowe had already lost his love for the sport and the hunger. He retired for 8 years after the second golota fight.
@@glasschin871 Ha, you need to check facts . Bowe retired after the second Golata fight in 1996. Lennox flattened Golata in 1997. Check the Manny Stewart interview which covers Bowe / Lewis. Bowe's manager admitted Lewis was just too strong for Bowe. Most of Bowe's big wins were against smaller, less physical opponents.
@@philgarrett5498 check what facts exactly? Nothing you just said is any different to what I stated. it was 97 when Lewis beat Golota , 4 years after Bowe threw the title in the bin and 3 years after Lewis lost to McCall, a fight Lewis lost in 94. After Bowe and Lewis had signed to fight In vegas in March 95. McCall was Lewis mandatory and Lewis losing that fight made the Bowe contract void. Lewis was now training with Steward and a much improved fighter. Lewis and Bowe were both big heavyweights for the day. They were both fighting smaller fighters most the time but 6’3 230LBs weren’t small heavyweights that was normal for the time.
I think he was more shocked at the statement from bowe. Your not the man i thought u was. Thats a pretty heavy insult i think id be the same as lewis. Stunned. Wouldnt know how to take it. As an insult or as something to learn from 😂
Bowe's actions told everyone he didn't believe he would beat Lewis, by dropping the title in the trashcan and saying "if Lewis wants this belt, he'll have to get it out the trash" that told me everything I needed to know about Bowe wanting to fight Lewis.
Dont make sense because he hsd the skills to beat him the power he could of beat Lennox around that time to many punches to the head box was already slurring around the time he through the belt in the trash mind gone
@keepitastack4993 It makes perfect sense, but you've already clouded your better judgement by using the excuse of head trauma and slurred speech by Bowe. Bowe's actions tell you and the world he didn't want smoke with Lewis by dropping the title in public instead of just retiring.
@keepitastack4993 Naw homie, in 1993 he wasn't punch drunk (on the backside of his prime yes), but definitely NOT punch drunk..... What punch drunk fighter you know fights about 10 more times and only loses once by Majority Decision 🤷🏽
Who do you think would've won?

What country he since we know him he was here in state since he was 15
2 great boxers, that's awesome
Respect
They look like Eddie and Martin in LIFE
🤣🤣🤣
Damn! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was Great To See
Loved how Lewis refers to him as 'Ridiculous Bowe' and 'Chicken Bowe'
Lucky Lewis didn't fight him, but nice to see them find some common ground
@@cobra8676 Lucky for Bowe, or Lewis?
@@alexanderspear9464 can you imagine if the fight happened! Yes bowe ducked him, but in my opinion bowe was the only guy who could have beaten him
@@cobra8676 I am inclined to agree 👍 Would have upset me though. I consider Lewis the GOAT
It’s just a fight ppl. Also, talking 💩 is just a part of the sport.
This would of been the second greatest heavy weight fight of all time
Would have* been
Second? What would have been the first?
@@markranger4269 the first is the rumble in the jungle
Please..he got knocked out by Tyson,and Ref didn't start counting lol..with Don King and Robbin Givens and Wealth .. didn't even take fight seriously
respect +
This is how two black gentlemen handle things. Speaking as a black man myself, I am proud of both of them. Two true Champions!
Lewis was a true great..deserved way more respect.
BOWE WAS THE ONLY TRUE SAVAGE BESIDES FOREMAN !! 100 % UNDER DAWG LEGIT CHAMP
Lennox looks so comfortable in the last shot 😂
Bowe knew this would be Like in the olympics
That Olympic fight, the ref hardly let them fight. It was a sham. In pros Lewis has been knocked out by men much lesser than Bowe. So who knows? 🤷🏽♂️
@@capitalg4018 yea tell them again... Bowe literally knocked holyfield out cold...lennox couldn't even do that, so as you said.. who knows?
@@dezsi114 And nobody Bowe fought was able to KO him. And outta like 40+ fights he only lost 1 decision to holyfield but also beat him 2x
@@dezsi114 Bowe aside from the fouls was getting rocked bad by Golota, Lewis dispatched Golota in a minute
@@cesareantonio6013 Yeah Golota gave Bowe some problems but Golota still lost because he's stupid. Lewis was an elite fighter with a average chin. KO'd with one punch by C+ B- level boxers. Riddick Bowe was also elite boxer, never KO'd. If they fought in prime, Bowe wins by KO, Lenox wins by decision.
Lennox still secretly holding feelings
He's holding a gold medal
Secretly? Bruh could he be any more obvious?
much love and respect to both of them guys they raised me
The look on Lennox Lewis face was like I don't trust this guy. He might swing on me. What does he really want.
bowe not in no condition to swing
Bowe was a great boxer I still remember those wars with Holyfield
Chicken 🐔 Bowe scared 😱 to fight Lennox
@@nealmike5490 Naw..foo. Agendrs couldn't have posin skirt.. Have a legit match up
@@nealmike5490 Trashboat. Get a job
two titans make peace...amazing
Lewis looked like he expected war
It’s time man. You two showed the world how great you were in the ring. Now we see it outside of the ring. Just what the world needs. To see how we can change reality when we choose too. Great job guys!!!
One of the fights, I always wanted to see. Too bad. Lenox was still ready, 25 years later. 💀🤣
Ready Uuuhh.Balance n leg strength . Sus Sus
Lennox beat bowe in the Olympics. That's why he said I owe you one
@@biozio186 he said I owe you one because the ref robbed him.
Beautiful. It is sports, it should never be personal.
Bowe ran scared of Lennox, even made a show of putting a belt in the bin. There’s even a clip of Holyfield telling bowe that he shit himself and ducked Lewis 😂
Absolutely 💯
Lewis had all them all shook , Bowe put the belt in the bin Tyson paid step aside money to Lewis , he was a serious problem for any heavyweight
@@anonymousanonymous3707 I
@@anonymousanonymous3707 holyfield wasnt shook
Oh really…..
"you aint nothing to me nigga"
yo i know lennox is from the UK but he had some hood in him lol
He grew up in Canada... although, that's still pretty gay, so I'm not sure where he got the hood from.
@@OngoGablogian185 i heard his originally from jamaica
@@thegoat6116 Yeah, born in UK to Jamaican parents then moved to Canada as a kid. Actually - he will have picked up the N-bombs from his mum, lol.
@@OngoGablogian185 🤣
@@OngoGablogian185His parents are Jamaican.
Great to see, respect and forgiveness
Looks like lewis kept the beef lol
Bowe had great war's between him and holyfield, prime bowe was destroyer... #legends
I love those guy’s’ fighting. True champions ❤
Yeahhhh Lennox still don't look too impressed
When you get that old you just happy to see another solider who was in battle on the road 🛣️🛣️🛣️🛣️
Lennox looked like he still wanted to knock him out 🤣
Lennox the liar , that’s right Howe👍🏽👍🏽
I've been thru stuff like this.and then decades later we realize that hurt people hurt people.we get older and grow spiritually,and peacefully.
Bowe wanted no parts of Lewis that's why they never fought. He remembers what happened in the amateurs...
Lennox had nothing for a seasoned Bowe my friend
@Henry Davis man stop! He turned down the fight twice, he wanted no parts of Lewis. With that bulllshit throwing the belt in the garbage shit.. he got knocked out in the amateurs and had the same thing coming as a pro...
Actually they did sign to fight in 94 to fight in March 95 in vegas but Lewis had to fight his mandatory first in McCall and lost.
Now Lennox Lewis look like the beef they had was 2 days ago lennox still ready to go he ain't finished beefing👌👊💯💯🤣🤣🤣
In fairness Riddick Bowe has had many MANY opportunities (in the past) to be the gracious version we're seeing here. And time and time again Bowe has basically acted like a jerk. So I can fully understand why Lennox would be wary.
In their day, these two were boxing TITANS.
Lennox squashed NUTTIN 💯🤣
Nall he didn't 🤣🤣🤣
yup..back to the burbs..Fer duh skirt, eh
Bowe, I'm glad not to fight you Lewis. I don't want to get knocked out.
Bowe was never knocked out Lewis was twice.
@@glasschin871 True however, Bowe should have been KOd by Golata (twice) and Lennox had the same guy out in 90 seconds. Riddick didn't fight the range and depth of boxers that Lennox did. In other words Riddick had the good sense to know his limitations and got out before the inevitable happened.
@@philgarrett5498 that was years later when Lewis was under manny steward and a much better fighter. Bowe had already lost his love for the sport and the hunger. He retired for 8 years after the second golota fight.
@@glasschin871 Ha, you need to check facts . Bowe retired after the second Golata fight in 1996. Lennox flattened Golata in 1997. Check the Manny Stewart interview which covers Bowe / Lewis. Bowe's manager admitted Lewis was just too strong for Bowe. Most of Bowe's big wins were against smaller, less physical opponents.
@@philgarrett5498 check what facts exactly? Nothing you just said is any different to what I stated. it was 97 when Lewis beat Golota , 4 years after Bowe threw the title in the bin and 3 years after Lewis lost to McCall, a fight Lewis lost in 94. After Bowe and Lewis had signed to fight In vegas in March 95. McCall was Lewis mandatory and Lewis losing that fight made the Bowe contract void. Lewis was now training with Steward and a much improved fighter. Lewis and Bowe were both big heavyweights for the day. They were both fighting smaller fighters most the time but 6’3 230LBs weren’t small heavyweights that was normal for the time.
That internal battle with humility was palpable
Lewis was the fighter that got me into boxing...still never seen a boxer like him...had all skill power in the world but always humble
That was painful for Lennox. You can see he's a little leery like, Bowe might snap on me.
Yes Lennox's days of slaughtering men on live TV has been put behind him, to have to do it again would have greatly upset him 😂
I think he was more shocked at the statement from bowe.
Your not the man i thought u was.
Thats a pretty heavy insult i think id be the same as lewis. Stunned. Wouldnt know how to take it. As an insult or as something to learn from 😂
Lennox was willing and ready.
@@Cosmic-WandererLennox said I'm gonna knock you out.
@@RaphaelDawkinsCombatRadio ye i know. After bowe had said “your not the man i thought u was”
Two Legends... They Dont make them like them anymore🥺🥺🥺
Bowe looked as tall as Lewis in the first clip but a bit smaller in the latter.
Yeah age and injuries got him bad.. he shrunk like mad
Boxing was hard On Bowe..
Yes you shrink when older as his body is folding up joys of getting oldddd
Bowe's actions told everyone he didn't believe he would beat Lewis, by dropping the title in the trashcan and saying "if Lewis wants this belt, he'll have to get it out the trash" that told me everything I needed to know about Bowe wanting to fight Lewis.
Dont make sense because he hsd the skills to beat him the power he could of beat Lennox around that time to many punches to the head box was already slurring around the time he through the belt in the trash mind gone
@keepitastack4993 It makes perfect sense, but you've already clouded your better judgement by using the excuse of head trauma and slurred speech by Bowe.
Bowe's actions tell you and the world he didn't want smoke with Lewis by dropping the title in public instead of just retiring.
@@timothyrouse9164 man what are talking about I'm to old not to know I seen bowe way before they thought about fighting Lennox and he was punch drunk
@keepitastack4993 Naw homie, in 1993 he wasn't punch drunk (on the backside of his prime yes), but definitely NOT punch drunk..... What punch drunk fighter you know fights about 10 more times and only loses once by Majority Decision 🤷🏽
Finally, people with eyes and ears
Bowe ruined his legacy and ducked Lewis. He would of lost anyway
Lenox looked happy they really helped each other that day
Fighters will be fighters and friends will be friends..
better to be friends than enemies
