BOWE v HOLYFIELD '4' could be happening in 2007

[smashup]

Riddick Bowe has publicly stated he thinks a 4th fight would interest the public next year.
Will this happen..?
Can this happen..? (Bowe has been a steady 250lbs ALL YEAR )
I WANT IT TO HAPPEN

riddick bowe would make a fool of evander holyfield

[NUCLEAR BULL]

2 middle aged outlaws having one last tango

best if it doesn't happen as it will tarnish the great fights from before...................it would be like having a sequal to taxi driver.........it musted happen

[GAME]

Judging by recent form, Holyfield knocks him out

[smashup]

I think it would be a great fight and pretty much sums up the Heavies (bar the lanky steroided up Klitchko bros) at present.

I reckon it'll be a bit like the later Schwarzenegger movies, or more recent David Hasselhoff appearances, they still look around 90% the same but there's just that touch of aging going on, the knees don't flex as much and the wrinkles are spreading out away from the eyes. Or in the case of boxers, the jabs will be slower, the hooks less demolishing, and the breathing a little heavier. I don't think it'll live up to their previous fights, but who knows...one last hurrah for them both with the winner getting a title shot? Could make it an important fight at least.

The public would be all over it
little quote from fatty

Bowe added that his famous friendship with Holyfield is now over.

He said: "When we fought those fights, we became friends and so forth but that's gone away now. I don't like what I see in Evander no more.

"Y'know, we did a fund raiser type function in Oklahoma a year ago and Evander didn't sign autographs for the fans. He just said 'no' to them and I was standing there very embarrassed by all this. I said to Evander 'Why come if you didn't want to sign things for people, why did you come'. I lost respect for him and I want to fight him again.

"He's been blessed and the fans put him where he is, but he didn't care."

[BoxingGorilla]

riddick bowe would make a fool of evander holyfield

I have not seen Bowe's last fight, but the pictures in The Ring sure made him look like a more obese version of James Toney.

I'd take Evander in this one.

Another very recent FATTY quote

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."

That is the most pitiful reason I have ever heard to hype a fight. Call him mom a foul name or something...

[smashup]

"He looked at me in a funny way"
"His tracksuit outshone mine"

[CutMeMick]

I think it would fit right in with kind of Heavyweight fights we have now a days....
Ruiz-Valuev
Briggs-Sergei
Toney-Guinn

Nothing but snoozers.... IMO I just don't think either one has anything left that could even be close to their first 2 fights.....

[smashup]

Would make a good slug-fest though

[Tito BHB]

holyfield beats him hands down this time round...
bowe is in ridiculous shape...
think someone said he looks like james toney?! .. thing is james toney has too much skill to care about his shape.. bowe cant do it like toney can... although technically a great boxer stylisticly he needs to be in shape to fight like he used to..
and from what ive seen evander has just that little bit more left in the tank.. enough to wreck riddick!
evander late stopage for me..
Peace
