Bowe wants to knock 'ungrateful' Holyfield out again. Can he? Should we watch?

Bowe wants to knock 'ungrateful' Holyfield out again

By Ant Evans: Former undisputed heavyweight champion Riddick Bowe says he wants to renew his legendary hostilities with Evander Holyfield in the New Year.

Bowe has not fought since April of 2005, when he struggled to beat journeyman Billy Zumbrum, but he insists he will return in 2007 despite turning 40 next summer. Bowe's controversial comeback currently stands at 2-0 (1KO) but 'Big Daddy' believes a fourth fight with 'the Real Deal' would interest fans.

"I haven't been impressed by him as a fighter for years. I was always the better fighter, I won all three fights (sic) we had and I knocked him out in the third fight. I want to knock him out again."

Hell i'd rather see ali-frazier IV than this. Holyfield can manage a comeback because he's in good shape. Someone who struggles to maintain their condtioning and wants to comeback at 40+ will not be successful. If he wants a chance to be a factor in the division he'll have to do better than 250.

Sure I would watch it!

My reason....to let the fools know that neither Bowe nor Evander will EVER challenge for a title again.


It's time to hang them up fellas

id definetly watch it u never know could be good fight i think if these two get it on again how much money and hype this would get man this is like dream fight all over again so id definetly watch it cant be no worse than the other shitty hw fights at moment

The thought of it is sickening.

The heavyweight division has little or no credibility anymore; a fight such as this would kill the division completely. :badass: :end: :bounce:

........................ Yes, yes it can be much worse than many HW fights even in this shite division. Holyfield, although basically washed up, is in much, much better condition at this point in time, Riddick Bowe just desperately needs money, he doesn't give a damn if he will win or lose, imo. Watch his comeback fight against Billy Zumbrun... His chin is gone, he's a fat slob who was being rocked all over the ring. Don't want to see this at all. Total joke.

Add another option wack;

Bowe hears Lewis is coming out of retirement and goes back into hiding.

i vote for that one

These two fighters don't resemble who they were in the ring 15 years ago.

Doesn't matter anyways...Bowe will not train for this fight.

It's not the first time taht I hear that Evander is really a a** with the fans....

This fight is a joke. I don't want to hear about it. Better watch cockfights...which I usually do not do.

my buddy told me the same thing about Evander. He walked up and asked for an autograph years ago and Evander said no.. my friend was totally upset by Evander. The guy has not appreciation for his fans. That is the truth.

Oh hell, let the two decimate themselves into getting their licenses revoked.

This fight is like a man jumping off of a tall building, who's gonna turn away and who's gonna watch the guy hit the ground?

Now that i'd watch because there's potentially free money involved as opposed to paying $50 for a fight that really shouldn't be on ppv (really shouldn't happen to begin with) and would have a more than likely even worse undercard.

Sounds like Bowes is either a bit loopy or he is desperate to find a stir up interest for a third fight...

Either way its sad. Bowe should of stayed in the Marine core.

yeah lets have a fourth fight and destroy the legacy of what was left of the 3 fights!!! ::**

Will People watch it? ABSOLUTELY

Will it be candidate for Fight of the year? Probably not

Will Holyfield, IF winning his next fight get a title shot? HE SHOULD (look at some of the title holders now, sadly enough, holyfield has already done more to get a shot than Briggs. This just indicates how bad the HWD is.)

Well of course i will watch it. I watch any boxing i can! But i wont like this fight, its just money making on Bowe's part and i wouldnt like to see two great fighters who are now well passed it in there together, there like 40 ffs!

I would rather see Lennox come out of retirement and fight Bowe. I think Lennox was always a little better and more of a fighter inside him. Bowe had a good left hook but he had to get closer which made his fights with Evander more competitive. Lennox had the right which meant he could save himself from not fighting on the inside. I see Lennox winning the jab battle and landing a right and knocking Bowe out on a TKO.. I always stray from the subject line since other ideas some to my head. I am one of the guys who thinks Lennox was better than most think he was. The guy was great if he had his head on straight. He just had to be focused and he was good . His problem was he was too good for his own good and would lose focus and get knocked out. Sort of a little like Thomas Hearns against Barkley..

will FAN MAN rise from the dead for this one? :-[

bowes uppercuts on inside were good and plus he had good jab lewis struggled against decent jabbers bruno mercer vitali ect and remember bowe had rock solid chin something lewis never had i like both fights but if lewis tried to go on inside with bowe he would be on seat of his pants but we will never know because bowes prime ended to quick would be great match up who ever won but then again i say that but when reading this tony tubbs vs riddick bowe =

Controversial Decision. Riddick Bowe had alot of difficulty landing any punches in this fight while Tubbs outboxed him for most of the fight. The commentators lambasted the decision and the crowd booed when the scorecards were annnounced.
