    Bowe is younger than both Tyson and Lewis but he's definitely aged the worst of all three of them.

    Lewis aged the best IMO. He looks way younger than Bowe

    Going to hell and back with Holyfield x3 and Golota x2 took everything out of him.

    Lewis very rarely took any damage.

    Lewis always was the smartest out of the 4 of them.
    And then in order, Holyfield, Tyson, Bowe.

    Their conditions speak for themselves.

    Looking after ones money and living a nice life has that effect. Unlike the others who blew there wealth Lennox was clever.

    Him and Holmes were smart with money. And Holmes didn't have a lot of education, but apparently he was as good at business as he was at boxing.

    George Foreman is also very wealthy too, but a lot of his wealth came more so from his line of grills. I read that he was worth 500 million dollars. Foreman also has aged well and actually looks better than Bowe despite being 20 years or so older . Actually, Foreman is almost 70 years old and from the looks of him, he could easily live another 10, 15 maybe 20 years. George Foreman just might live to be the very last of all of the 70's era heavyweights.

    Pleasantly surprised that Leon Spinks is still around. Not surprised Larry Holmes is though if he was as careful with his health as he was with his money.

    Yeah. The only knock on Holmes would be that he'd be better if he lost some weight.

    Hulk Hogan likes to tell the story that the Grills were originally for him. He claims he missed the call and then they called George.

    Holyfield certainly isn't smarter than Tyson and Bowe, he's a sandwich short of a picnic Evander is.
