    Is the only man whoever beat Riddick Bowe. Even though he went 1-2 against him. Could Bowe have won a trilogy with all the other great fighters?

    Bowe in his fights with Holyfield showed a great punch output. The ability to fight both inside and outside. He was quick, slick and powerful.

    Bowe vs. Ruddock could have been one of the most entertaining fights ever I believe.

    Bowe was talented, scared, big mouthed and very very very lazy. Very very bad combination. Waste of talent.

    A lack of disclipine pretty much ruined Bowe.

    If you YT the build up to Lewis vs Bruno.... Bowe does a pisstake of Lennox and as he is laid on the floor his belly is huge.

    To think of the different paths that Lewis and Bowe have went after the Olympics.

    Lewis - Multi millionaire, HOF boxer. Retired, rich, happy.
    Bowe - Broke, still forced to fight, can't retire. Not even close to HOF.

    Laziness and lack of discipline, not talent made all the difference between these two.

    Golota could have won a trilogy if he backed off on the bag shots...of course there would never have been a trilogy as it would have been two one-sided fights for Golota

    Yea, Golota had Bowe completely stymied and owned twice, at some points in both fights, had Jay Nady been the referee, the bouts would have probably been stopped. Bowe didn't win those fights, Golota lost them.

    Of modern fighters, Lewis.

    Perhaps Vitali, but wouldn't put any £££ on it.

    agree.... Lewis i'd say 65-35% chance and Vitali 50-50....
    but Golota owned him twice.. too bad that pole was a hothead... talking bout wasted talent...
