    No one thought that was Bowe's biggest win.

    Thats an interesting comment.
    Other than Holyfield, Bowe doesnt have many other big name wins. Hide was a decent win.
    I think Bowe not facing Lewis was a big miss, but Bowe didnt get some of the other big fights like Tyson, Bruno, McCall, Moorer, Ruddock, Mercer, Tucker

    Nobody thought Bowe knocking out Holyfield was arguably Bowes biggest win??? I would say it could well have been his biggest win
    Give me 3 bigger Bowe wins than that one

    Interesting to know who all these nobodies are

    bowe hasnt got much of a resume other than beating well bullying a smaller but extremely tough and game holyfield. his style wasnt suited to rule for a long while, golota beat the crap and semen out of him.

    Amazingly Lufc doesnt view that as arguably Bowes biggest win in stopping Holyfield. It would be between that win and his first win IMO. I would probably guess that Lufc hasnt read the post properly

    Did you follow boxing back then?

    Bowe was out of shape and almost knocked out cold by Holy. He then went on to get battered twice by Golota.

    Yes he went 3-0 in these 3 fights but if you watched him at that time you would have known he was far past his best regardless of getting the results.

    (yeh all of it)

    his biggest win was holyfield.

    His biggest win was out pointing him for the world championship.

    It certainly was not stopping him in the rubber match.

    I don't see how you can disagree he almost got knocked out by Holy. The knockdown was very heavy.

    I don't see how you can disagree he got battered twice by Bowe, the DQ wins are not indictators towards a good performance.

    I don't see how you can disagree that he went 3-0 in those fights.

    I don't see how you can disagree he looked past his best.

    bailey said bowe beating holyfield was his biggest win. so he wasnt picking a fight from the trilogy but hey the last time i watched those fights were a year back. the best opponent he beat was holyfield. FACT!

    and then his resume looks wafer thin. unless he was beating up old, shot, or smaller opponents.

    I've quoted the full post that I replied to. He said it was arguably his biggest win. I disagreed.

    No one asked you to get involved, especially in such an erroneous manner.
