    Great interview. Scully is a very knowledgeable boxing man. His assessment of Bowe - "I think Riddick Bowe potentially could have been one of the best heavyweight champions ever" - is right on the money. At his best, Bowe had it all and had he been able to maintain it, I think he would have beaten all of the best fighters of the era, probably multiple times.

    He is right about local papers with newies in them. Our newsies paper say nothing about one of our own fight with Pacquiao. Margarito mayed have been Mexican at the start but he was FULL Chinese by finish! Chinese VS Philippines for #1 p4p and they say nothing! Not back in my old day this have been! Good interview!
