This is one of the more intelligent threads on here lately.

Bowe was arguably the most naturally talented out of the big 4 in the 90s, meaning the inclusion of Holyfield, Lewis and Tyson in that list. It was also a pretty decent HW era all round with some good boxers on the fringe and the likes of Foreman still around and Moorer, Ruddock, Mercer, etc.

It was a shame that Bowe did not fight Tyson or Lewis as when he was fit and in the zone they both would have been up against it. I think it was less about food and more about mentality with Riddick and papa smurf was probably right about the potential.

I also think that he underestimated Holyfield in the return who was magnificent, his best performance.. and would have beaten anyone on the planet on that night regardless of silly skydivers etc...
