Bowe didn't waste his talent, he didn't have the longevity due to his routine between fights and his flaws as a boxer (ie he got hit too damn much)...but what I find most irksome about him is that he didn't really seek out anyone to test himself against Holyfield and Golota and that's it...maybe I remember him fighting Bert Cooper or Elijah Tillery but no true THREATS to him and it's not like the division didn't have guys for him to fight.
His resume is still better than Wlad's. And at least the guy didn't get ko by journeyman and part time boxers.
