I’ve heard Bowe say before in an interview that his only ambition was to be heavyweight champion. After he accomplished this goal he says that he only fought for other people and not himself. I believe there is some truth to this because if you look at his eyes and expression during his entrance for the first Holyfield fight, he’s totally engaged and serious. I never see that same look in his eyes for another fight entrance afterwards. As for Lewis, I believe Bowe wanted the fight to happen, but Lewis was too dangerous and Bowes handlers wanted to cash in on their investment. The two low risk defenses against Dokes and Ferguson made them millions.

@marquismorris1548 4 жыл бұрын

his handlers may have wanted to limit the risk against Lewis. But let Bowe decide.

@rockingboxer6037 3 жыл бұрын

Those words about becoming a chamion as an only ambition look trustworthy indeed, because Bowe's signs of lacking dedication became to show up right after Riddick had won the championship

I am glad to see someone notices this. I have said this about so many fighters. Look at Duran post Montreal. He never had that fire in his eyes again. Tyson post Spinks lost his hunger and it showed on his eyes. By the time of his Tokyo fight he actually looked bored and lethargic walking into the ring. I could go on. But the eyes tell a huge story in boxing.

@bruh_1627 4 жыл бұрын

I doubt that version of Douglas would be an easy fight for anyone, but I feel part of the reason he looked so dominant was because Tyson was just off. I think Lampley even said in the second round that there was talk that Tyson wasnt as sharp as he normally was. Tyson wasn't being as aggressive, wasn't throwing many punches, not throwing combinations, and had shitty defense. Douglas would have put up an amazing performance against any version of Tyson but, it would be a lot harder than it was against the best Tyson.

Another superb video Rummy.Your description of Riddick is spot on- top 10 possibly even top 5 head-to-head ability but a disappointing legacy considering his God-given talents.Damn Bowe's own lack of self- discipline,and damn that ridiculous stunt organised by Rock Newman.Dropping the WBC belt in the bin was so stupid as it permanently ruined Bowe's image.It made Riddick look cowardly but in reality Bowe was brave as hell.The courage he showed in the Golota fights was awe-inspiring. So sad that such a gifted,courageous fighter wasted his career.

Well he did not resist doing it lol you have to know how to boxe within the rules (especially if you are the non-local fighterI'm not naive). Golota skills and physical capabilities may be the ones being underrated here. I believe that the majority of people see Bowe for what he was, a very special talent, who still accomplished impressing things but who wasted much of his potential.
