    Bowe from the first Holyfield fight was superb. There were always res flags regarding discipline and how he would fare against powerful boxer-puncher, but still.

    I highly rate Bowe H2H. One of my dream fights would be prime Bowe against prime Vitali.

    What a delight, honour and a privilege it is to be recognized for one's excellence by such an esteemed fellow member of ESB royalty as yourself.

    It's moments like these which not only makes you realize you have reached the very top, the summit of the mountain, which of course both you and I did looong ago, but that you are still up there and are still on top of your game.

    This, Chicken Bowe, would be the equivalent of an old school first up voluntary defence type opponent for the God of Boxing.

    FACTs. BIG FACTS. Truth be told, I see Big Daddy throwing his belt in the bin again rather than ever dare step up to the plate against that slickness :deal:

    Yeah I have to admit that was a strange post from him quite honestly say what you want about Bowe but he had heart inside the ring.

    The 3 wars vs Holyfield and the beatings he took from Golota especially in the 2nd fight he took over 400 punches from a fighter that weighed 240+ pounds.

    He certainly wouldn't give up vs Usyk you must be joking.

    Yes it is. It's not even a contest. Whether it be resume, achievements, H2H Usyk>>>>>>Haye


    Haye ranked himself over him at CW when they met each other a few years ago. He also picked him to lose to all the Brits he fought too, IIRC

    He gives him more props now though

    Riddick Bowe is one of the most overrated boxers of all time. Even limited Golota was beating him before the low blow DQ.
