Riddick Bowe Says Lewis And Tyson Were Scared To Fight Him

Rattled doesn't mean he was scared though. It could have just been adrenaline, or possibly him being pissed off after having another boxer confront and insult him on national television. I doubt many people would have been calm cool and collected after a confrontation like that.

And even then, afterwards, Lewis still spoke confidently and without his voice cracking which I find surprising.

 

This. I also remember that Rahman would mostly get the better of Lewis in their verbal sparring. Only time Lewis got Rahman in that domain was one time after hearing Rahman call him gay or a fag enough times Lewis told Rahman to bring his mom and his sister around if he thought Lewis was a fag. That led to the broken table incident.

 

Based On???

At the Time of the Stoppage, Round 2 Was Pretty 1-Sided...

REED Would Have Allowed it to Go Looooooonger, But It Didn't Appear Tbings Were Going to Get BETTER for Bowe...



REED

 

In Holyfield's Case, He's Not Punch Drunk, He's Just an Ol' Country Dude from the Deeeeeeeeeep SOUF', Who was Never Articulate to Begin With...






REED

 

Agreed, I'm not saying he was scared (why would he), but he definitively was bothered by the incident

 

Shatdafuckup. A guy was in his face and it was a macho confrontation. All you saw was the adrenaline pumping as would happen to anyone in that situation. When a man is up in your face it gets the juices flowing

 

This...

Bowe Offered Up a BETTER Brand of Shit Talk, Yet Lennox CALMLY Stood His Ground, Looking Bowe in his Eyes Repeating, "I'm Gonna Knock You Out, I'm Gonna Knock You Out"...Lennox Has NEVER Been a Dynamic Speaker or Entertaining Shit Talker, So Being Outdueled VERBALLY Ain't Nothing...Tyson and Rahman Owned Lennox in that Regard Also...

There's a NEGATIVE Connotation to the Word "Bothered"...It Suggests FEAR or Being UNCOMFORTABLE...But It's NOT Like Lennox was Giving Ground...And Having Now Seen Lennox's ENTIRE Career Play Out, His Body Language and Responses were Commonplace for Him...

To Top it All Off, Lennox Concluded by Saying He Saw Fear in Bowe's Eye's and FORESHADOWED What Eventually Played Out...

I'm not talking about the confrontation per se, but the interview LL gave afterward. He was acting like a little girl who was upset, just looked at the way he crossed his arms while talking. As I said, it doesn't means anything, but he was definitively a bit bothered by the situation

 

bowe was giving lewis the business in round 1. i put no stock in that fight. just like when that goofy cuban beat bowe in amateurs. if bowe shows up in shape like he did for the first holyfield fight then i pick him over lewis by KO.

 

I think that LL wins, but as you said, that amateur fight was a sham and there's nothing to take from it

 

Yeaaaaa Neil, Lewis REALLY shit his pants...

I hadn't watched that confrontation in like 5 years. Lewis actually appeared CALMER than I remembered.

Bowe was the one who was shook, not Lewis. It was as if Bowe was trying to CONVINCE himself he could beat Lewis... while Lewis just had the look in his eye like he had no doubt in his mind he could beat Bowe.

 

As for Tyson, Bowe talks a lot shit about what he would do to Tyson now that BOTH are retired.

Yet when they were still active, Bowe admitted he feared Tyson as a kid.

Both were bullies... Tyson was the better bully.

 

Bowe WON the 1st, for Sure, but Lennox STARTED the Round Stronger...

Round 2 was MUCH More 1-Sided than Round 1, Undoubtedly...

Not Only Could Bowe have Made the Lennox Fight ANY Time he Wanted, He'd have DICTATED Terms to Lennox, Anytime Up to Bowe-Golota I...

The FACT Bowe Flat-Out DUCKED Lewis, Tells REED Riddick DIDN'T Share Your Opinion of How They'd have Matched Up, as Pro's...
