God I hope not...Pull a Holyfield?? Bowe is shot to s!!!! and should be eating Apple sauce in a lazy boy recliner right now.I don't even see him beating A Fres Oquendo :-X
What a poster child for wasted potential!
Absolutely right. Bowe made just about every wrong decision one can make. If he had made just a few of the right decisions he would have been held in the same kind of regard as Lewis is now, or higher.
Riddick returned last year.
His return saw him arriving terribly overweight and looking like hell.
He claimed he wanted to mount a comeback as he felt he hadn't gained any respect in his prime or achieved what he should have, yet he never made an honest effort to come in condition.

That's hard to do when you have no money left.Quote:

I heard while ago that there were talks of Riddick Bowe vs Tony Tubbs 2 call me crazy but years ago i would have liked to have seen the rematch......Quote:

Riddick Bowe always did struggle against a good jab thats why he also had trouble with Tyrell Biggs, Andrew Golota, Riddick Bowe doesn't know how to get out of the way of a double jab and it seems to offset his rhythm.
yea hes bankrupt, also hes a convicted felon i belive for his kidnapping of his wife and childrenQuote:

Good luck to him. Like DAWGSWIN said, wasted potential, and he had alot of it. One of my favorite heavies; too bad the fridge called to him so often.
I'm amazed he can get a license; though I suppose if a guy with a questionable health issue like Morrison can get one, why shouldn't Bowe?
In reply to the topic question: I don't really care if he is! At this point I think Golota knocks him out cold!
For a fact Bowe was in Brockton working out in Goody Petronelli's gym. He talked to Goody about a comeback. Petronelli, 85, is interested.
Bowe should retire the fat useless past it bum
