    I have to share this with you guys. I'm just sitting here with my gf and she sees me on eastside and says 'Who's this Riddick Bowe? Is that as in the Chronicles of Riddick?'

    Funniest thing I've heard all day.

    I have a similar story,

    About 10 or 11 years ago, Ray Leonard fought Hector Camacho. My then girlfriend asked me who was fighting that evening. Jokingly, I said Sugar Ray Robinson....She believed me.

    My wife takes very little interest in boxing, but she goes with me to fights all the time, otherwise she sits at home:nut

    Anyhow two guys at her work were talking about Pac/DLH and said DLH is gonna kill the little guy before the match. My wife responded that Pac was too fast and said there was no way she would pick against Pac. They were shocked she knew anything about boxing.

    Guess she knows more than I do!

    tell her Riddick Bowe is a vastly overrated former HW champ.

    Bowe could have been great, but never had the balls to prove it.

    My friends are mostly casual boxing fans, but they always referred to that movie as "The Chronicles of Riddick Bowe"
