Riddick Bowe was overrated, he was a good inside fighter. But was made to look mediocre by outside fighters.

Bowe v Holyfield was his best showing, and he was a talented fighter at his best but that Evander ruined his career.

Riddick Bowe was overrated, he was a good inside fighter. But was made to look mediocre by outside fighters.

I just think he peaked in the 1st Hoyfield fight and was never the same after that. He didn't train properly and put on loads of weight between fights, he was a different fighter in their 2nd fight.

On his best night (i,e v Holyfield I) I think he could've beaten most Heavyweights in history!

[GAME]

Tillery asked for that beating cuz he kicked Bowe. Riddick always had a temper as weve seen with Gonzales. Im surprised it didnt kick off with Hide given their mental states pre fight.

It kicked off with Golota during the fight but by then Bowe was washed up. Good right uppercut, left jab and as Ice said he worked well on the inside but his peaked lasted for 1 night vs Evander the 1st time. After that he never looked that good again.

Many people don't know about his struggles against Tony Tubbs, Tyrell Biggs, and this was in his prime before the weight problems. He was clearly outboxed by a shot Tony Tubbs, and got a gift decision. And he was getting totally thrown off by Tyrell Biggs's jab. And was badly stunned in the 3rd round until he caught up to Tyrell Biggs's weak chin.

Riddick Bowe is overrated he looked good against Evander Holyfield, because Evander Holyfield was too small and didn't have the power to really hurt him. And he fought the totally wrong fight similar to SRL vs Roberto Duran 1.

In the 2nd fight he outboxed Riddick Bowe in a closish fight, and the 3rd fight Evander Holyfield looked like a mess. And he was about 50 percent in that fight, thats when he went through a bad patch, also looking sluggish against Michael Moorer.

Riddick Bowe was well managed he took on fighters, who couldn't really punch or who were on the slide. And he was made to look pretty mediocre when fighters fought him on the outside Evander Holyfield 2, Tony Tubbs, Tyrell Biggs, Andrew Golota x2.

I agree he was talented and he had some very good inside fighting skills, but he gets far too overrated for that 1 good win over Evander Holyfield. When infact Evander Holyfield fought the totally wrong fight, brawling with a fighter who outweighed him by 2 stone.

Any fighter that kicks in a boxing ring deserves to be beaten up by the opponents manager.
