With Bowe back and fighting on the wlad undercard and Holyfield fighting Valuev for the title, the fourth fight between the two could happen imo. Both could do with the cash and id rather see this fight than pretty much any other at HW. Anyone else interested in this fight??
what??? Noooo!!! boxing fans have a hard time getting rid of holyfield and now this? i don't want to see a black version of butterbean
Oh man. I'm one of Bowe's supporters, constantly trying to convince my dad that he would have been very very competitive with Lewis, but this is just to much. He has been out of the ring for well over 10 years, was slurring like crazy after the 2nd Golota fight, and hasn't looked good since Holyfield 2. Bowe needs to stay at home.
Mate... after the ridiculous Fenech/Nelson 3 debarcle, Id be happy to watch Holyfield/Bowe 4.... The main concern is the punishment these men may suffer. Unfortunately, the game seems to becoming a freakshow... Midgets boxing, Butterbean 4 round titles, Females fighting, over the hill combatants and promotors raking in the cash. Its not going to overhauled, as the money makers have limited senses of shame or guilt. If Old men such as Bowe continually choose to fight, I guess its their chioce, I just hope no damage is done to the fighters.... as the game is damaged enough.. Another division needs to be introduced IMO... A SuperHeavy Division... to be adopted by all governing bodies, as the Modern/current heavyweight often weighs 40lbs above the heavyweight limit.
That's the plan. Although Bowe's had 5 or 6 pull-outs since the Zumbrun debacle. On the other hand, a Klitschko-headed card doesn't come along every week and Bowe's in Germany sparring with Fischer at the moment anyway. If Holy upsets Valuev for the WBA belt, Bowe will move heaven and earth to try to convince/goad/anger the old man into a fourth fight.
Riddick is going to appear on the show in Manheimm Germany.. Against who is still a quiz???? Zumbrun won the Bowe comeback show, and i feel bad for billy having spent the last week watching him get ready for the Bowe fight sparring very heavy rounds against Cisse Salif....... Its sad really...
Maybe he can get Marcus Rhode in to go a couple rounds again. Then again, he was even getting caught with flush roundhouse rights from Marcus too... Bowe may have to scrape quite the bottom of the barrel to get someone to easily bowl over in short order.
+1 I think Bowe had all the tools -- except the courage -- to defeat Lewis, but that was a LONG time ago. Riddick needs to hang them up, permanently.
Let them fight a 4th time and give Holyfield his retirement money already. We don't need this anymore... it's hurting as a fan of the sweet science.
amen in reality.. I love Riddick but like we keep repeating, its gonna be hard to get someone for him to look good against. I wonder if a 190lb Herbie Hide would fancy it seeing that he is boxing in Germany very often now.. as a cruiserweight.. Herbie would demolish Bowe now...
Herbie would be giving up around 80 pounds to Bowe in all likelihood mind you! Try and get Friday in the picture Not that I think Bowe would have the nerve to fight him at this point.
