Also it is more than just the money, they are quality fighters and are articulate. No way can you hate them for being consistent champions and staying on top of the game.

AGREED. I dont hate them at all. They are certaınly skıllfull. They just couldnt hold a candle to Alı or Holmes or Bowe or Lennox Lewıs ın hıs prıme.

yes super skillful, could probly hang with any of the best hws in history at their best

boring tho, inside and outside the ring

boring voices, never do anything or say anything interesting or exciting, jab jab hold jab jab hold, take no risks in the ring even when their opponents are ready to go

just boring champions, brilliant but boring

Riddick Bowe was crap and Wlad would have just toyed with him, it wouldn't have been close. I would rate Shannon Briggs as a better title holder than Bowe. Bowe is remembered for 1 reason....EVANDER HOLYFIELD.

frazıer ıs only remembered for 1 reason too---ALI. BUT WHAT A BIG REASON THAT IS!!!!
Bowe beıng remembered "only for Holyfıeld" ıs hardly a dıscredıt---consıderıng Evander was probably 1 of the best ever esp at that tıme ın hıs career. Bowe whıpped hım 2 of 3. Not too shabby.
True that Bowe had a very short career tho .... rather dısappoıntıng. Wıshed he could have hung ın there to fıght guys lıke Lewıs and Grant and Tua and even Tyson. I thınk he would outwork the Klıts though.

Riddick Bowe was shit, he never fought a power puncher. There's a big reason he ducked Lennox Lewis, it's because in the amateurs Lewis cleaned his clock. The fights vs Holyfield were great and all, but it was only due to the fact that Holyfield was more of a quantity puncher than a power puncher. Had Bowe fought any of the power punchers of his era he would have been stopped, just my view, but there were rumblings that Tommy Morrison whipped Bowe's ass in sparring. I reckon Old George Foreman would have beaten Bowe by KO easily as well. Although there's no shame in being Ko'd by George Foreman.

Does anybody really want to see those Russıans anymore or that Polısh guy? :rolleyes: I guess we'll have to put all our hopes ın Tyson F:rolleyes:ry and that Scandınavıan guy whats hıs name.......Ingemaar Johanssen ıs ıt?

Holyfield? Comeback? Where has he been? I don't think he ever retired.

Actually a few weeks ago I got my Evander DVD's out and was watching one of his fights, I think it was Bowe but I can't be sure, definitely that era. Anyway, the commentators were talking about where he goes after the fight and they were saying that it could be time to call it a day. 20 years later and he's still going.................. sort of. Just made me chuckle!

There are a lot of decent HW up-and-comers now:

Glazkov
Jennings
Price
Fury
Wilder
Boytsov
Pulev
Helenius
Hamer
Gerber
Mitchell
Dinu

evander should fıght tyson IM tellıng you ıt wqould sell some tıckets. a plastıc surgeon may need to be sıttıng next to homansky however.
