Just come across this piece in the NY Times... Seems the only boxer from the Holyfield - Lewis - Tyson - Bowe generation to have walked away in an financial better state is perhaps Lewis http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/14/sports/14bowe.html
It already started. ''They will write stories about his victories over Zumbrun and Pukall for thousands of years. Is there no one else,IS THERE NO ONE ELSE?! In the end all that matters is what you'v done.''
I love Riddick, he has so many natural skills even now, that have never left him, that jab is still sharp, ahd he has speedy heavy hands.. He only ever lost one pro fight , we have to remember that, and he is still always great for a classic quote when you speak to him.. Not many characters left now , and he is a dying breed.. mirageboxing.blogspot.com
yeah, it looks like Bowe, Holyfield and Tyson are all broke, or close to it. Expect to see some comebacks announced soon. Well, in Holyfield's case, he's never really gone away. These stories are more the rule than exception in the sport of boxing.
Holyfield is unofficially carrying the WBA belt. Give the ol' man a payday and let him ride off in the sunset, right? :smoke
Bowe may have only one official loss on his record, but Golata was whipping him twice before he thought he was back on the streets of Warsaw.
Sad but true. Some heartbreaking stories about good fighters after they've hung up the gloves...or tried to.
