Why not Bowe vs Tyson?

TKO, Bowe took a monster right hand and didn't go down. Would be an early stoppage by pro standards.

....the ref stepped in and saved Riddick, as apro Lennox keeps punching and stops him in the very same round.

So he did not knock out Bowe. Fact.

Hey, that's great if that's your opinion. You could be right, I'm not doubting Lewis beats Bowe because I believe he was indeed the superior fighter.

But you're judging Bowe's ability and potential by one bad performance he had against Lennox Lewis as a skinny 20 year old.

Larry Holmes got dropped and whipped by Duane Bobick in the amateurs, I could easily say "well if he couldn't handle Duane Bobick's power, a guy like Ernie Shavers would blow him out of the water."

I don't get all this praise for Briggs, he only gave Lewis trouble for about 2 rounds then got his ass whooped. He got a total gift vs a 100 year old Foreman, and he lost to fighters like Wilson, Fields, "IN HIS PRIME".

Looking at his record you'd think he was a very good fighter, but infact he was very average at best with decent pop thats about it. There was plenty of B Level Heavyweight's who didn't quite make it who were alot better than Briggs.

Yeah I was kind of surprised to hear such praising for Briggs but I kept my mouth shut because I really have only seen Brigg's fights against Lennox, Foreman (total gift) and a few other bigger ones.

Its the hairdo honestly, aside from the last second bomb on 'The White wolf', I don't think he's beaten a top ten heavyweight and about half his kos were guys with losing records. He didn't even warrant the draw with Botha from where I was sitting.

Blame EL Kabong for even going there with Briggs being able to cause Bowe problems. I think he said it more to illustrate how could the Klit brothers are than anything else.

Briggs didn't think so either here's what he said about the Botha fight.


"The fight against Botha. I did everything the right way, just had a bad chain of events happen. I tore my left bicep before the fight. I had an ulcer the size of a dime in my stomach. I trained for the fight in Big Bear thinking the altitude would be good for me. Terrible. I couldn't run in the morning, it was too cold. It was just everything. That was heartbreaking. After the second round I was gasping for air. Botha broke my rib. Cauliflower ears. Stitches over both eyes. Hung in there for ten rounds. I was fortunate to get a draw. He really gave me a beating, physically. And mentally I was really down on myself, because the fight was so hard, grueling."
