    they already fought a second time
     
  4. Lennox, if he came back would be ranked at least top five nowadays, so if he came back to fight Bowe, it would basically be legalised murder. Bowe has NOTHING at all left. Most shot fighters usually have something, like a bit of pop in thier punch or still a decent jab, but Bowe has literally no skills left.

    Maybe you like him because your nickname resembles his state but a nice guy? Sucked punching Larry Donald during a press conference, throwing a glass (not plastic) of water at them, etc. The guy was a punk.

    Seeing Golota & Bowe in the ring together at this stage would be eerie...almost dream like.

    Golota KO Bowe 5.

    Golota-Bowe III would be awful for Riddick. Golota wouldn't have time to get himself DQd before Bowe was flat on the deck for the ten-count.

    The last time I saw him in the ring he looked very bad aginst Zumbrun. I do not think he has something good to add to the heavyweight division at this point. He should stay retired.

    It just seems like yesterday, Billy did enough to retire Riddick..

    I felt sorry for him..

    I was in the gym 2 days before he went to Cali to box Bowe..

    He was sparring with Cisse Salif and training very hard with his coach Cornelius Boza Edwards......

    Billy tried very hard for that fight and came back distraught ..

    Bowe just getting by on his former glory i think..

    I think a senior tour would be great for boxing. Like they do with golf which draws huge crowds. They would be more evenly matched fighting guys their age. I think it would be great!

    I posted before i read this post. I think it (senior tour)would generate a big following.

    Is he any worse than, say, Tyson in this respect?

    Ruddock is selling his new product , his trash crushing space saving bustbin device..

    Bonecrusher is working as a cruise agent , selling holidays on board cruise liners from his home in Lillington NC..

    Mike Weaver works as a boxerobics instructor in California.. he looks incredible for his age..

    Glad Bonecrusher and Weaver are doing well, both nice guys by reputation (especially Weaver).

    The Ruddock 'head in a bin' advert is very memorable!

    Bowe will find it hard to get accepted by anyone in boxing if he continues to fight like he did agaisnt Zumbrun..
