      Did you hear him the other day before the Wilder Fury fight? He was asked about Lewis. Couldn't understand anything he said, except the part about him saying Lewis likes his butthole slammed.

      Thats very true. And he was and is one of the great hw fighters ever, but he had a chance to be goat. He really had that chance. He only lost once as pro if i remember right. A loss he later on avenged. He burned very bright, but for very, very short time. Like 3-4 years and then decline started

  • @jasona9

    I really liked and admired Riddick Bowe. Very poor and humble beginnings. He was robbed in the Olympics, but took it like a man in the wake of serious health and family issues. Unfortunately, I lost all respect for him once he won the title. He ducked the number 1 contender, fought inferior opponents, and just lost all his discipline. He was not a great heavyweight champion, but he COULD HAVE BEEN.

      @jasona9 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      John Bryan I believe that Bowe won the first round, and the head butting foul was controversial. I also believe that the stoppage was premature and controversial in the Lewis vs Bowe Olympic Fight. Regardless, I believe that Bowe had added incentive to fight Lewis as a professional, but he and his pussy manager crafted the most blatant duck in boxing history.

    This is the one of the many moments of the golden age of boxing, when Riddick had Eddie futch training him and Rock neuman was managing him. Riddick was sharp and unbeatable at this time and brought so much pizazzz and excitement to the heavyweight division, which is sorely lacking in that division today. I'd love to see Riddick turn back the clock and beat Tyson fury.
