Riddick Bowe - Is a retired American professional boxer who competed between 1989 and 2008. He reigned as the undisputed world Heavyweight champion in 1992 and as an amateur he won a silver medal in the Super Heavyweight division at the 1988 Summer Olympics. After turning professional in 1989, Bowe went on to become a two-time world Heavyweight champion. In 1992 he became the undisputed Heavyweight champion by winning the World Boxing Association (WBA), World Boxing Council (WBC) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) titles by defeating then-unbeaten former undisputed Cruiserweight champion Evander Holyfield. That same year, Bowe was named Fighter of the Year by The Ring magazine and the Boxing Writers' Association of America. Bowe vacated the WBC title later that year in protest, instead of defending the title against their number one contender, Lennox Lewis. This left the undisputed championship fragmented until 1999. In a rematch with Holyfield in 1993, Bowe narrowly lost the WBA and IBF titles in what would be his only professional defeat. He retired with an excellent professional record of 43-1 (33 KO's).

He was a perfect heavyweight had all the tools you needed could box wasn't afraid to brawl and a huge heart but lacked dedication and discipline
I mean he only lost one time in 43 fights
@@hillprince9060 technically 3 if we count what happened with golota.
he was lazy
I dont know if you can win 43 fights if you are lazy.
@@biomadnesstrip it’s possible Roberto Duran never took training seriously and he managed to beat some great fighters
Best uppercut & inside / outside boxer in the world. Haven't seen any boxer like Bowe yet in 2023
Prime Bowe absolutely in beast mode!
He was top 5 heavyweights ever at his absolute best. Ali, Lennox and Iron Mike are the only three in history I see beating him
@RavageSovereign Tyson already has all the tools he needs to beat Riddick. The only difference is that he started losing when he didn't fight calculative any longer and that Tyson would get destroyed by Riddick. I do agree though that regardless of where Tyson was in his career he would have to avoid fighting inside at all costs
@RavageSovereign I respect your opinion but Marciano? Really? Even if he was naturally a 200 lb. fighter there's no way he would've been able to beat prime Mike. Foreman could get out-timed pretty easy once Tyson gets his rhythm down and Frazier gets knocked out as Mike at his best had punches almost as hard as Foreman and would get caught eventually. Holyfield is really tough so I could see that happening though not as easily as when they actually fought. Liston either catches Tyson or gets caught. 50/50 on that one
Mike is a bad match up for bowe. There shouldnt be much of an argument there obviously. Hes gonna knock him out inside 4 or 5 rounds at most @brandonlamb9067
bowe was very underated at his best he was a truly powerful heavyweight that hit very hard and also very menacing
My favourite Heavyweight from the 90's. As great as he was he should have achieved a lot more from the sport
Fayz Fitness extremely well rounded fighter , but like u said could of achieved hell of a lot more.
@@CamBoxing1993 💯
Andrzej golota stopped him carrer
He's in my top ten heavyweights easy
One of the best HW in history
Yep, i havent seen other with his size who could box in the inside like him, that was the real deal and set him apart
@@robertoamarillas Bowe was an ATG!
ς😮σςςεεα@@robertoamarillas
Fact❤❤❤
Imagine the likes of Bowe or Lewis against todays crop of heavyweights, they would have destroyed them all.
It would be MURDER.
@ARIAN THE ASSASIN Tyson was awesome but didnt beat the greats of his time
People always say that, back then people said that the likes of Bowe and Holyfield would be destroyed by Ali, Norton, Foreman and Frazier.
It's BS, as time passes heavyweights gets taller and bigger, just like the general population gets bigger, this means that there are more well coordinated biog men and so the smaller heavyweights of the past would struggle to compete.
@ZenBoxing TV Exactly that's a fact, the 90s heavyweights were on a different level.
@ARIAN THE ASSASIN yep theres plenty of reasons why he lost but the fact remains he didnt beat his toughest oopenents thats the sad thing about fighters that dont take advantage of their prime we never know what could have been
An absolute destroyer ...
this guy skeletal frame is huge! and he has good kinetic transfer from his legs to his punches.
Most tall heavyweights like to distance themselves and jab all day! that wasnt the case with big daddy, he could mix inside, he had no fear in him. it still hurts me till this day that he never fought lennox lewis!!
what do you mean .......
When he fought Lewis in the olympics the ref was terrible. I think the ref was corrupt.
Nashville Dude Nah. Watch that fight again with the sound off: Bowe won the first round, but after that it was all Lewis. TKO fair and square.
@@feliscorax No, the ref fucked it up. You're smoking something.
@@feliscorax Never. Ref always stepped in and interrupted when Bowe got Lewis hurt.
One of the most terrifying heavyweights to step in a ring
Force to be reckoned with. Also liked that aura of confidence around Riddick.
Riddick Bowe so underrated
Evander a pitbull in the boxing world. Not the biggest, but had a do or die attitude
Def punched above his weight and was still heavyweight champion and he never ever quit. Just when you thought hed go down he was firing right back. Fav fighter ever.
that right overhand hook he throws from inside is lightning fast for a big man. 👌
👑 N - Natural
👑 B - Born
👑 K - Killer
My favorite HW of that era..Had every tool but shit work ethic
Bowe was remarkable in his prime , very outstanding Heavyweight of his era , very skilled Big man
what a fighter - would have been great to see Bowe Tyson and Bowe Lewis.
I doubt that any heavyweight in history would of been able to deal with Bowe the night he beat Holyfield in the first contest
The song is amazing
Best heavyweight champion of all time tragic story !
Yea?
Jerry will you tell us ah story ??
No just no
Best heavyweight not even close
1:37 more proof of Pierre Coetzer's granite chin , jesus.
Yea he was one tough fighter, no doubt about that.
Agreed
And what about holyfields chin too? Man these guys were just built different. . 😢
👌 fluid as . Variety 🙏
One of the most graceful big men in boxing history. Riddick "Big Daddy" Bowe
Bowe had a real fluidity to his movement, could throw every punch in the book and had the best inside game of any 90's Heavyweight - the biggest disappointment I've had since I started watching Boxing in the mid 80's was not getting to see Bowe fight Lennox Lewis
Bowe was an outstanding fighter back in the day. His trilogy with Holyfield was phenomenal. I wish he had fought Lewis and Tyson. Also fights with Foreman, Holmes, Morrison, Mercer and McCall would have been very enjoyable.
Too bad he really wasted that potential
How did he waste it ? He was a undeated champion lol . That's apex for a boxing career and he had a 43-1 record
Damon Harper Bowe still had a great career but he should have achieved more given the ability he had
@@aks99-4 agreed
bcs he was lazy :(
you even dont know how much people with potential like ridick just drink beer on the couch :(
Underrated boxer
0:38 that leaping left hook is hilarious and savage dude gets knocked out with a left hook then Riddick punches the unconscious falling body in the forehead on the way down idk why it's so funny but it is lmao
one of the best of the best heavy weight in the world big daddy bowe 💪🦁
this guy was underrated and lost in the shuffle, still only lost 1 match to
Riddick Bowe this guy could really throw down was one hell of a fighter but the love of fast food lack of discipline let him down badly could have been an all time great
Those Holyfield fights were epic
Richard V he hit Holyfield in the back of the head. That’s why Holyfield lost
@@DopeBoysofatlanta that's not why he lost
He lost cuz he was outboxed
@@DopeBoysofatlanta that punch that touched holyfield's back of the head didnt even land clearly. It was the left hook that knocked him down.
If Bowe wouldve took his staying in shape more seriously and worked on his defense more... he wouldve been unbeatable
To me the Greatest heavyweights of all Time..Riddick Bowe, holyfield, Mike Tyson, Lewis, Ali, Joe Lewis.RM.
Joe Lewis all day!
@@anthonyliskcarew9927 yes
Yeah I think you truly need to have a heavy weight in you're list that retired undefeated
No heavyweight compares to Ali record who he beat when he beat them. He is BY fAR the runaway heavyweight goat nobody even has 50% of his resume. Shavers Frazier bob foster Archie Moore foremen Clooney Ron lyle patterson Cleveland big cat Williams Liston….
I swear Holyfield showed Android level resilience.
Most talented boxer of history. Inside outside boxer. Fast, heavy blows. Defence, not the best. His speaking leads to know he had some good punch that made damage.
But still, one of the best hw boxer in the world.
Riddick Bowe punches like he's in a street fight.
between tyson and bowe, holyfield shows hella heart.
I just dont understand why he didn't dominate the 90s. Great chin, great fighter, heart, and good boxer...(smh)
He was big, strong and heavy.
Him and Holyfield best of fights now best of buddies
I was at Bowe vs. Holyfield 1,2 & 3 with comedian Freddy Lewis. Lewis won a gang of money betting on those fights. I ate like royalty on Lewis's dime...and it should be noted that Freddy Lewis was a notorious penny pincher.
Goat hw
Riddick bowe légende
Little known fact: Comedian Freddy Lewis briefly went by the name DERFick Lewis. xoxo The Clarences
Dude hit like a Mack truck...talk about power.
video suggestion: Riddick Bowe -Defense and Counterpunchung ability
I wish this dude was disciplined and stayed in shape!!!! He would've been the GOAT.
When he stopped training, he still had all his natural tools carrying him.
If he didn't stop, he would've gotten even better and not worse.
In terms of pure talent and potential no one had more than Bowe, not even Ali and that is saying a lot coming from a big Ali fan. He fought during one of the best eras for the heavyweights and only lost to another legend, if it weren't for some mental and personality issues then he damn well could have become the best of all time.
KillaBlu What about Roy Jones?
He only lost to Holyfield because the fight was put on hold for 20 minutes after the infamous parachute landing , giving Holy time to recuperate .
BOWE ONE OF THE BEST EVER .
Lost to golota too, 2x times.
Tyson was afraid of him. He knew Bowe will kill him.
They grow up together......Tyson said he didn’t want to fight someone he considered to be a friend.
Yeah at that time 93-95 but Tyson 86-89 would have knocked out Bowe, two of my favourite heavyweights post Ali, Foreman, Frazier Era
@@ZBOXINGTALK prime for prime Riddick would smash Tyson .
@@3rdpersonality48 i don't think so
Tyson had better defense than bowe.
Bowe vs Tyson-The match we failed to watch!
Bu adam tarihteki butun boksörleri yenebilecek güçte
Holyfield was the real deal.
Bowe was fucking excellent when he got up in the morning and spent the day training in the gym and not eating down at Denny's...Naturally talented, great chin, could fight, could box, great jab, could fight at distance, and could fight on the inside, he could box and brawl...
Lewis fans will always say how he beat Bowe in the Olympic final...AND?... Audley Harrison won Gold...what a legendary great professional Heavyweight Harrison was...do me a favour, my nan could've knocked him out...and she's fucking dead......my mum said she died of shock while watching Harrison fight...shocked at how shit he was
A lot of people say Mike Tyson was a waste of talent, I guess they haven't hear of Riddick Bowe. Mike Tyson just simply wasn't great as they thought he was.
1) Tyson was losing before he even turned pro when Cus was in his corner.
2) Tyson at his best had trouble against mediocres like Tillis, Tucker, Smith, Greene, and Reggie. I'm certain Bowe would have easily beat those guys.
3) Also, Tyson avoided Bowe if you do your research.
Stay off the hey run and you could remember something or you warrnt old enough to remember Tysons legacy cause you have no clue what you speak when you talk about Tyson if you had a clue what you said would have never left your mouth, ignorance is never bliss !!!
@Awoken Truther Tyson is NOT over rated OMG !!!!! He was killing people in the ring deviating punching power like from no other had the world seen and they still no one with his speed and power combined with skill you mufukas is tripping hard wilder get his kicked and so would Furry if Tyson decides to truly fight you wait and see it's coming ...
You have no idea what ur talking about. Tyson avoided bowe cuz they were friends back in school. Bowe was the perfect match up with him and went life and death with golota and in his prime struggled badly against tubbs. Both whom tyson blew away inside two rounds. Never mind the fact tyson was overweight and on cocaine during the golota fight too. That's how insignificant golota was to him.
Prime Tucker would've killed bowe seeing how much prime bowe struggled against tubbs. Also an old tucker went to war with prime lewis whom bowe publicly ducked.
Furthermore. None of the people you named here tyson even struggled with excluding james tillis. Where tyson was just 19 years old when they fought.
Dude got that look that’s says I don’t know why in the hell I even got in here today lol
I should have never said nothing at all
Same neighborhood with mike tyson i will not be surprised if he has that power and ring IQ
What's the first bear you used please?

For his size,
He moved like a middle weight boxer!
George Forman trained hard by EATING MORE CHEESE 🍔 BURGERS 😮😊❤
Great fighter. Could have gone either way with him and Lewis. Glad he got the belt at one point.
I wonder how many of yall saying he was lazy ever been in a ring
None to the level of Bowe that's for sure haha
What ? I’m going to sleep 😂 and I donate chips and salsa
Huh lol

Would have loved to see him and George F
huge power and good skill. sad that Bowe vs Lewis never happened
Agreed and Bowe vs Tyson would have been another mouth-watering fight!
@@willieisgreen Tyson said he would never fight Bowe out of respect they grew up on the same block
Bowe ducked Lewis
@@clentdarreldapat1700 Bowe didn't duck Lewis. Lewis actually refused to fight Bowe for 3 million dollars. Bowe asked to fight Lewis first. Lewis was the best at cherry picking. He would wait for fighters to be washed up or beat up .
@@grill9067 Actually Bowe made two offers to Lennox Lewis the first one was for 3 million dollars and the second one was for 12 million dollars and Lewis declined both offers he wanted to get the same money that Bowe was getting which he knew that wasn’t going to happen.
Hard hitters fo sho, bad intentions behind those mits lol.
Just So sorry about him. He was the only fighter that could defeat Lewis. His fighting soul died too early. He quit too early. I dont know why. He could,ve become a legend like Ali, Louse. what the hell happened to him? ㅜ ㅜ
@Luciano It's a pity he had all the tools and possibly could have been among the greats, he went into the marines after boxing and could not even finish boot camp, dropped out, became a habit with him, quitting!
Face say I see you seeing me seeing stars 😅
Anyone know the music at 3:10?
EMVN - Prepare for War
I dont care what theses fans say. I still think he would have beaten Lewis. Made some dumb decisions but dont we all?
Bowe is considered by those in boxing, as a more natural talented boxer / fighter than Lewis...he just liked eating too much, and sitting on his arse...Holyfield only won the rematch because Bowe was at his heaviest fighting weight ever, and took Holyfield's spirit for granted. He trained properly for the first and the third and won both...and Evander was obviously younger, more agile, passionate, ambitious, was fitter, taken less punishment in his career, and was genrally a much better Holyfield that fought Lewis twice years later, and Lewis didn't hurt him in 24 rounds...Bowe had a better Holyfield battered and beaten...
@@bloodfluke7530 Lewis fought very cautiously against Holyfield despite having every physical advantage. If he'd opened up he would have got him out of there, but it's unfair to say he didn't hurt in 24 rounds. That's patently untrue. I also don't believe the Holyfield Bowe beat in their first bout was as good as the one Lewis faced; he was younger but he was also dumber.
True
What a terrible analysis.
It was holy to didn't throw anything and was in defensive mode.
Styles make fights. Lewis would have knocked Bowe out in 6mins
Andrew Golota Broke Bowe. My Brother did some construction work for Bowe, he tried to scam him out of paying him. I remember when there was a Big Fuss about him Joining the Marines. I Knew he would quit. He had no discipline. He was big and had skills but in the end he didnt want to put in the real work.
True Andrew destroy him and end his prime.
Apparently he had brain damage after fighting Golota, personally I would have thought his nuts would be damaged after these two fights tho, when he was in court after kidnapping his wife his lawyer was using footage from the second fight with Golota arguing that after this fight his brain was damaged and he wasn't thinking straight when he kidnapped her.
The fight with Holyfield make bowe brain damage.If it not happen he would have murder golotta

I don't get why everyone's giving him a hard time about lacking dedication. Bro had only 1 loss. And beat Holyfield probably a top 5/top 10 heavyweight all time.
Because he did indeed lack discipline it's well known. A lot of people think he lost his fight against Tony Tubbs and he should've lost both Golota fights if Golota wasn't a complete head case and punched him in the balls. Bowe was a great fighter with tremendous talent and potential but for a short period of time.
Big Daddy
Fuck look at those legs
how about a merqui sosa highlight?
Hmmm didn't Tyson and lennox lewis dodge Riddick Bowe😮
👍
Shame he never faced Lewis. It would of been a classic. Or Tyson.
I think in his prime he was 50/50 against those 2 in their prime. I can't say he was easy better but he was a match, no question. The Golota fights did show his flaws. Golota was winning almost every round in both fights, quite easy. I never saw Lewis in fights like those.
I think his prime ended before then.
Lewis was knocked out twice by bums JS
@@whovee23pghpa22 the only bum that beat lewis was rahman.
He should have fought Lennox to be the very best hw champion.
Big Daddy!!!
bowe said tyson knew he was gonna put a foot in his ass lol
I worked with Riddick’s best friend in 2022 on a court house construction job.. he had so many pictures in his phone of them partying he had a few old camcorder videos also.. he told me his biggest regret was being too scared to tell him the truth because Riddick end up driving a bus and he ended up in construction.. said Riddick would spend hundreds of thousands in Vegas in hookers and drugs.. told me Riddick brought all his friends and family cars and houses and anyone that asked for money he would give it to them. Then when the accountant stolen 2 million from Riddick he said the reason Riddick didn’t go after the guy was cuz of black mail
Can anyone tell me why he never fought Lennox?
+Lord Dayu He would have gotten killed, and he knew it from the Olympics where he tasted the thunder of Lewis.
Since he already did I don't understand the question.
shevegen I think people just give Lewis unnecessary props. Is it impossible that he knocks out bowe. No. The doesnt have a field day. Even on Bowes worst day his opponents struggled.
Battle Rifle The stoppage in the Olympics was bullshit, even for an amateur stoppage it was soft. Shit officials all the way through the boxing in Seoul.
So Gonzalez was a better professional than both Lewis and Bowe because he killed them both in the amateur game...Nope...Bowe battered him in the pro game...Good amateur doesn't mean good professional....Audley HARRISON won GOLD... MY God...How awesome he was when he turned professional.....Olympics is amateur boxing....I'm sure Roger Federer got his arse kicked in amateur tennis tournaments...but doesn't mean they'll be better years later....some progress, some don't.... BOWE would've battered Lewis... Lewis couldn't hurt an old Holyfield in 24 rounds...Bowe had a better chin, could box and brawl, and could throw better bunches, better combos, better uppercuts...he threw the belt away not cause he was scared.. Bowe was a street hoodlum, knew Tyson as a young young kid...he wanted more money, it was a stand against the world boxing council who he thought weren't treating him with due respect...
Wins/loss record 43-1

As mike Tyson's nephew i would destroy every boxer they have today
@Jay 2021 you wanna book that fight? I promise you gone wish the first round was 12.
He would have manhandled Mike Tyson and been put to bed by Lewis.
Don kuniin🤬
He's brutal from mike tyson
And kids just say no 😂 don’t do what I did to me 😅
To bad Riddick was to afraid to fight Lennox
Too bad cause he'd most likely beat Lennox 🤣
Vena, you have more confidence that Bowe beats Lewis than he and his Pussy manager Rock Newman did.
Hey it was the WBC rules clause that Lennox was hiding behind, he was losing to Bowe in the Olympic trials when they stopped the fight in the 2nd round it was one sided it was all Bowe not Lennox
white dude at 2:23 just gave up lol
Bowe would have beaten Lewis!!
Hollyfield brought the best out of Bowe.
