    Himself.

    When you like to eat, put on weight in between fights and you then knowingly put a ****ing kitchen in your bedroom it’s on you.

    Lol I felt he was overrated. This sport is ultimately about hitting and not getting hit. He had a horrible defense. He was also not disciplined in the ring, would turn simple winnable fights into unnecessary brawls. I never rated his chin much either.

    Rock Newman and his own greedy fat arrogant ass. Bullied and fouled and got away with it just like his homey Tyson.

    Sorry. Got one thing wrong. He got away with it until Golota shoved his fist right up CHICKEN BOWE’S billiard ball bag. Golota got disqualified twice. Correctly so. Just like WBC BOWE should have on several occasions been thrown in the TRASH can with THAT belt.

    It isn't, it'd about winning. Bowe did a pretty good job of that in his career.

    Yeh hit after the bell. Have his manager grab fighters while he carried on punching. Then throw a belt several generations of boxers fought their hearts out just to dream to fight for in a trash can because “THEY AIN’T BULLYING ME INTO FIGHTING LEWIS”. What a champ. ****ing big fat bully had his chance at fame and riches and glory. Ended up where he belongs. Brownsville.

    Himself, same as Tyson. People with difficult upbringings and psychological issues can keep it together for a little while, especially with the right structure in their lives, but left to their own devices will self-destruct. They achieve success and stop striving, become less disciplined, or they give in to excess luxury which comes with the success because they can't handle their new freedom.

    Thank you sir. A well educated approach. I still think Bowe was a ***** but you hit the nail on the head.

    Watch Bowe walk over to Gonzalez and hit him way after the bell. If there’s one sports person who deserves to end up right back where that horrible scumbag Is it’s him. Nasty horrible bully.
