Well the point being that at the time of Bowe's title run there WERE better fighters out there and he chose NOT to fight them. Other than Evander Holyfield Bowe fought nobody all that great, old Michael Dokes, Pinklon Thomas, Bert Cooper, Tyrell Biggs, Tony Tubbs, Larry Donald, Jorge Luis Gonzalez, Herbie Hide, Andrew Golota, Pierre Coetzer, Everett Martin, Jesse Ferguson, Elijay Tillery, Bruce Seldon......I mean where's Morrison, Moorer, Bruno, Rudduck, Mercer, Tua, Lennox Lewis, Briggs, Tyson, Alex Stewart, Larry Holmes, George Foreman.

Bowe gave Holyfield hell but where's the rest of the guys worth a damn on his resume?
