Are the Duke, Holyfield, The "Beast," Bowe, etc hurting boxing's image?

They arent hurting and they arent helping,its like saying are the Who and the Stones touring again hurting rock n roll

....I wouldn't compare any of those guys to The Who or The Stones. Those groups are LEGENDS at best the only legend out of Morrison, Bowe, and Holyfield is Holyfield

Very true Lyle although some may argue Bowe is. For me Bowe didn't do enough to be in that category.

Bowe was a guy who didn't get (or take) shots at the best of his era. Look at Bowe's record and you won't see: Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Shannon Briggs, Michael Moorer, Ray Mercer, Tommy Morrison, Donovan Rudduck, or Frank Bruno.

I think Riddick would have been a great if he fought(and beat) Mike Tyson, IMO he had all the tools to beat Tyson too.

The 1990's heavyweight division really pisses me off because there is very little binding the great fighters of that era together. In the 1970's Ali, Frazier, Foreman, and others are bound together because they all fought each other. Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis, and Evander Holyfield fought each other but after that you don't have those guys sharing many opponents and it's a shame because with guys like: Bowe, Rudduck, Morrison, Moorer, etc didn't fight all three of those guys. I really wish these fights had happened....

Mike Tyson: Michael Moorer, Riddick Bowe, Tommy Morrison, Ray Mercer, old George Foreman, Hasim Rahman, David Tua

Lennox Lewis: Riddick Bowe (all Bowe's fault that didn't happen), Michael Moorer...and I guess that's about it

Evander Holyfield: Andrew Golota, Tommy Morrison, David Tua

Let's not put Styx in with great groups such as The Stones or Skynyrd
