    Man, I saw Bowe on family feud. Dude is quick minded for someone who has damage to the Wernicke's area of the brain. Steve Harvey asked him, "who could you call on to have a date with?" Bowe said "Joe." Harvey said "Joe who?" Riddick: "Joe mamma!" Lol. He still has his wits about him.

    Dude is super nice too, doesn't blame any of his health problems on nobody. In fact he quoted that with his disabilities "god tried to humble me by perhaps because I was being arrogant." He also had that kind of acceptance to endure a brother who passed away (rest in peace) from the HIV. Riddick is a likable guy, but getting back to the op's question sorry for being off topic. But I didn't follow Bowe that far back/ pre Holyfield. I just wanted to touch on his character of being a good man. Big daddy. He's alright!

    Makes you wonder how 91/92 Bowe would have handled 88 Tyson.

    Easy Lennox Lewis, Bowe rather gave up his titles than fighting him again.

    Golota for sure gave his nuts a good pounding.

    On a somewhat related note.

    Tubbs nearly beat him. I thought Coetzer did surprisingly well. Bowe started to go low to get him out of there
