What about Riddick Bowe???

[eugepang]

He never fought Lewis because he was scared, and had no guts. Lewis would've KO'd him, and ended his career even earlier. He only fought Holyfield because he was much smaller.

Yer its a shame, he really could of been something special! And IMO Evander was a better fighter then Lewis!

No it was because he was lazy. Don't know why if he was scared. Many felt that he had develpoed the tools he needed to beat Lewis since their olympic match-up.

although im a big lewis had they fought round 92/93 time bowe would have beaten him. lewis was still developing as a fighter

because you let your love of food "outweigh" your love for boxing....You need to get back down to 235-240 and reclaim the belts....do that and the smack talking will cease....keep waddling around at 280-300 and this is as nice as it gets....

No, a prime Bowe was about as perfect as can be. Holmes was ok, but he fought cruiserweights and even got caught a couple times.

Bowe is one of the best during his prime....almost as perfect as Joe Louis!

Bulls h it. Holmes had as good a jab as Ali. As far as cruiserweights, beyond Leon Spinks and Ossie, he fought the best around.

Rock didnt get Bowe the big fights...weal know what happend against Holyfield.he was amazing but well never know if he could have beat other heavys of the time like Tyson,Morrison,Lewis

We have nothing but love for you,I just thought you could have been 1 of the best of all time but you let the talent slip away

[1st rd ko]

I realize he enjoyed the dinner table more than training camp and He was poorly mismanaged by Rock Newman when He reached his peak...But I wonder?? Then again He never fought Lewis as a Pro,never fought Tyson,Moorer,Morrison,Mercer,Etc..and of course going ape S*** and kidnapping his family and jail didnt help and alleged brain damage .. Damn I miss the Prime Bowe he had all the tools to be something great!!! Was he just another mis managed Superstar that couldnt handle the fame and pressure

He sparred with Morrison once, And Bowe quit in the middle of it. His trainer Futch tried to get him back in there, But Bowe did not want any part of Morrison. He was scared of Lewis.

riddick didnt want any part of lewis, but morrison? prime vs. prime , i think , riddick would have taken tommys head off.

Riddick Bowe don't get the respect he deserves like Larry Holmes.

But you can compare him to Hamed in that he was great but people knew he had the potential to be even greater. I have no doubt in my mind he would have shattered Marciano's record. He only has one loss anyway which could have easily went his way.

riddick bowe was fierce. i was there that night he beat holyfield in their first fight. and i admit, he was never the same after that fight. i guess he got a bit too comfortable with living "the" life lol. He didnt train properly, under estimated opponets and rock newman was a joke. he ducked lewis by throwing the belt in the trash, granted, i wouldnt've fought lewis either at the time. especially if lewis was the last man to beat me lol. but i would've ducked him in a classier fashion than lewis did. although it was cool, for bowe to take on dokes and ferguson just to make a couple of defenses and thicken his pockets a lil bit. the last good bowe fight was the night he beat the cuban, gonzales.

41 years old Bellamy looks a good rival for Bowe now . . .
