Does that make him the biggest puncher ever? Nope. He was damn heavy handed though and could put his punches together.
He was his own worst enemy.One of the best inside fighting heavies in a while when he was in top form.When the crazy talk about refrigerators In the bedroom started it was clear what was ahead Lol.

I think too much emphasis is put on pure punching power these days.With out technique and full skill set it can be misleading.
I think Laziness combined with the Freakish Chinned Holyfield took way too much out of him. He was never the same after the first Holyfield fight.
Yep.At times You could see it in his body language.Just seemed Aloof and disinterested.He was always doing that Ali Impersonation and mugging in interviews.Nice enough guy with great skills who I don't think ever realized his full potential.

That 1st Holyfield war took some out of him Indeed.Holyfield made that one much tougher than he should have (Whats new?).After a nice first round working with the jab and boxing well,It all changed up in the 2nd when holyfield got pissed,Planted his feet and started swapping bombs.The best Bowe has ever looked I think.Sad now....Makes Mayweather sr. look like a great orator.Is he still planning on fighting?
