    Holyfield would kill him, too. I was honestly afraid for him in the Zumbrun fight. I wish that he would have not been given the nod so it might have dissuaded him from fighting again.

    he is weighing 290 now? if the heavyweight division is so weak then why not start fighting with klitschko right away?

    Well, if a guy with HIV can get a boxing licence I doubt there are any medicial tests to pass at all.

    Tommy Morrision was licensed in West Virginia; Mesi too! There are plenty of states that I am sure have lax enough commissions that will pass Bowe - which is exactly why we need a federal commision so desperately.

    Bowe was NEVER really world HW champ he failed to complete the contract when he blatently ducked Lennox Lewis. Anyone thast gives him a license to fight now should be held lliable for his safety

    Very true. This sort is **** is the reason why our beloved sport is dying and it needs to stop. If it goes ahead it will get alot of coverage for all the wrong reasons.

    Bowe is broke and sadly would box again given half the chance.

    So he's fighting a guy who is 21-14 with 19 KO's?

    Sure, that's a high enough KO% for me to pick him over Bowe... although if I knew who it was or read past the first few sentences I might find out that the opponent is also 50+, but I don't care enough to do that.

    Bowe should not fight anymore. He got knocked out in the first round in Pataya, Thailand last month when he fought a russian fighter (Muay Thai).
