Thread: Another, Legends of The Ring...

Wouldn't this be a great time for someone to get Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Riddick Bowe & Lennox Lewis together so they could talk about the fights they had vs each other and so they could all talk about what they thought of each other? It would also be nice to get their opinions on current boxers and the state of the sport as a whole.

I think it would be awesome....anyone else interested?

I would be, with Bowe's personality and Tyson's temperament (he seems mellow know though... but who knows!) etc I wonder if they'd have to mediate it or leave it a few years longer so the dust can REALLY settle. (I have now idea what Lewis/Bowe now think of each other etc).

Holyfield too... I met the guy, seemed like a good guy and all but he wasn't at all sharp... he'd been all over the country, don't know if he was tired or what but he seemed punchy.

Lennox sits there checking the zeros on the paycheck, Tyson starts crying, Holyfield keeps talking about God & Bowe commits at least 3 felonies in the 40 minute time slot.

Bowe and Evander talking? Huh?

...well it might need a subtitle option on the DVD but I think right now before things get any worse for any of them it would be great for boxing and boxing fans.

I like where your going with this but can we really call Bowe a legend? Besides beating Holyfield what else has he really done? He ducked Lennox never fought Moorer or Tyson or even Morrison and only made 2 title defenses against crappy contenders in Ferguson and Dokes. I mean I guess if we had to then we could fit him in there but he would be in the Norton role.

Well, Oprah got halfway there...

Riddick Bowe isn't fit to lace Ken Norton's gloves

Well Ken Norton was in the "Champions Forever" with Frazier, Foreman, Ali, and Holmes.

We can't just have 3 guys in there...you wouldn't have Moorer or Foreman in there would you

Sure why not, Foreman fought in most of the 90s.

I wouldnt reccomend sticking tyson within 30 feet of anyone that has ears...

thats just my opinion of course

Hell why not! They could sit at the kiddy table next to them. And Morrison and Mercer can serve the food and drinks =). Now that would be 1 helluva a show.

...if you're going to have someone like Morrison or Mercer in there you would need Frank Bruno or Donovan Ruddock in there first

Might as well have Herbie Hide and Bert Cooper.

Well Michael Moorer only fought Holyfield and Tommy Morrison only fought Lennox Lewis...at least Bruno and Ruddock fought Tyson and Lewis.
