    Judging by his speech in this video, I think this is a legitimate question.

    Fortunately for himself Bowe pulled off. Usually every couple of months he is talking about a comeback, sometimes there is even an opponent and date/location mentioned, but so far he always found a reason to pull off (which, judging by his appearance and speech, is the right thing to do).

    Now Golota is scheduled to fight Saleta instead. They are similarly old and shot, so (as bad as it sounds) it is much better fight than Golota-Bowe III.

    Bowe's starting to sound like Chewbacca.

    answer would be no. but that didnt stop rahman, and he even got a paper title shot. until someone gets seriously hurt because they overlook a medical reason saying he shouldnt be in the ring, **** like this will keep surfacing

    Bowe dumping the WBC belt in a bin rather than fight Lewis, sums up Bowe in my opinion.

    Sad to see Bowe having become a chewbacca sound a likey.

    What do you mean be "the same"? Golota didn't really take that much punishment during his career, and seems to be in really good health.

    he was mentally a train wreck without taking any punishment. he comes accross as an idiot half the time. and in fight 2 with bowe his corner were yelling at him every round after round 5 to not throw ANY body punches because he clearly thinks Bowes nuts are part of the body. hes stupid
