    ...and targeting the Klits.

    I don't give a damn what anyone says, if he got in shape, I would watch if he fought Vitali. He's 43, and yes, he slurs badly, but the man has got to eat, and he does not seem to have some of the mental issues that he has been accussed of.

    As of now he has a very impressive record as a former undisputed champ with only one official loss. Vitali is only 3 years younger, so I say lets do it.

    I like Bowe. I'd rather see him broke than dead.

    Why would you watch it when you could just watch Vitali hitting a heavy bag? An in shape Bowe or not, it's the same thing.

    Dear god, I hope you are not serious. Bowe would get obliterated by Vitali.

    The guy could make a nice living on the club fighter scene beating the Marcus Rhodes of the world but whilst I say that didnt he struggle with Billy Zumbrun?

    One thing is for sure he has no place fighting any one with a pulse especially whilst he is fighting over 250lbs.

    He would get beat by anyone in the top 60 in the world.

    Let's put this in some perspective. When Bowe fought Golota in the second match, in 1996, he was in such bad shape the commentator said he hopes if he ever sees him in a boxing ring again, that it's to take a bow, getting introduced as a former champ. That, almost exactly fifteen years ago, was the last time he fought a relevant opponent. He's not fought at all in three years, and not gone past ten rounds in about seventeen years, and not gone to the tenth in six. Fighting Vitali Klitschko would be inexcusable to sanction, at this point. It would make the Briggs fight look fairly well-matched. His last match was only a UD victory in an eight-rounder against a guy the Helenius stopped in one round on his debut, just the fight before.

    Bowe would not get past the Vinnie Maddelone level fighters.

    If the man is broke and hungry, then honestly he'd be better off going to work for a company like Lowe's or Home depot as a service floor worker, where he would at least have a steady paycheck with health insurance and other benefits, then to return to boxing we're he'd be permanantly disabled and cheated by unscrupulous managers and promotors... Leon Spinks has given up on boxing and to his credit as settled for working for such companies as McDonalds.... There is no shame in it..
