I mean he only lost one time in 43 fights

@@hillprince9060 technically 3 if we count what happened with golota.

he was lazy

I dont know if you can win 43 fights if you are lazy.

@@biomadnesstrip it’s possible Roberto Duran never took training seriously and he managed to beat some great fighters

what do you mean .......

When he fought Lewis in the olympics the ref was terrible. I think the ref was corrupt.

Nashville Dude Nah. Watch that fight again with the sound off: Bowe won the first round, but after that it was all Lewis. TKO fair and square.

@@feliscorax No, the ref fucked it up. You're smoking something.

He was top 5 heavyweights ever at his absolute best. Ali, Lennox and Iron Mike are the only three in history I see beating him

@RavageSovereign Tyson already has all the tools he needs to beat Riddick. The only difference is that he started losing when he didn't fight calculative any longer and that Tyson would get destroyed by Riddick. I do agree though that regardless of where Tyson was in his career he would have to avoid fighting inside at all costs

@RavageSovereign I respect your opinion but Marciano? Really? Even if he was naturally a 200 lb. fighter there's no way he would've been able to beat prime Mike. Foreman could get out-timed pretty easy once Tyson gets his rhythm down and Frazier gets knocked out as Mike at his best had punches almost as hard as Foreman and would get caught eventually. Holyfield is really tough so I could see that happening though not as easily as when they actually fought. Liston either catches Tyson or gets caught. 50/50 on that one

Yep, i havent seen other with his size who could box in the inside like him, that was the real deal and set him apart

@@robertoamarillas Bowe was an ATG!

ς😮σςςεεα​@@robertoamarillas

It would be MURDER.

John Smith MAN WHAT ABOUT TYSON HE WOULD LITERALLY KILL TODAYS HEAVYWEIGHT NO DISRESPECT TO TODAYS HEAVYWEIGHT

@@Luffytaro39 Tyson was awesome but didnt beat the greats of his time

People always say that, back then people said that the likes of Bowe and Holyfield would be destroyed by Ali, Norton, Foreman and Frazier. It's BS, as time passes heavyweights gets taller and bigger, just like the general population gets bigger, this means that there are more well coordinated biog men and so the smaller heavyweights of the past would struggle to compete.

@ZenBoxing TV Exactly that's a fact, the 90s heavyweights were on a different level.

Fayz Fitness extremely well rounded fighter , but like u said could of achieved hell of a lot more.

@@CamBoxing1993 💯

Andrzej golota stopped him carrer

He's in my top ten heavyweights easy

Yea he was one tough fighter, no doubt about that.

Agreed

Def punched above his weight and was still heavyweight champion and he never ever quit. Just when you thought hed go down he was firing right back. Fav fighter ever.

Yea?

Jerry will you tell us ah story ??

No just no

Best heavyweight not even close

Richard V he hit Holyfield in the back of the head. That’s why Holyfield lost

@@DopeBoysofAtlanta that's not why he lost He lost cuz he was outboxed

@@DopeBoysofAtlanta that punch that touched holyfield's back of the head didnt even land clearly. It was the left hook that knocked him down.

How did he waste it ? He was a undeated champion lol . That's apex for a boxing career and he had a 43-1 record

Damon Harper Bowe still had a great career but he should have achieved more given the ability he had

@@aks99-4 agreed

bcs he was lazy :(

you even dont know how much people with potential like ridick just drink beer on the couch :(

Joe Lewis all day!

@@anthonyliskcarew9927 yes

Yeah I think you truly need to have a heavy weight in you're list that retired undefeated

No heavyweight compares to Ali record who he beat when he beat them. He is BY fAR the runaway heavyweight goat nobody even has 50% of his resume. Shavers Frazier bob foster Archie Moore foremen Clooney Ron lyle patterson Cleveland big cat Williams Liston….

Bowe doesn't have the resume to be considered a top 5 Heavyweight.

@@hanzagod he has one of the most impressive records with 43-1 and he beat Holyfield. Holyfield is a top 10 heavyweight. Also Bowe is still until today the last United States undisputed champion. Don't talk out of your ass

So 1 great win on his resume qualifies him to be a top 5 Heavyweight? That doesn't make sense bud.

@@hanzagod he retired at 29. Also if you see his style and how he handled his opponents, it was elite. He also beat Holyfield twice. And yes beating one of the best twice is enough to propel you to the top. He would have beat Lewis if they fought

I'm not saying Bowe wasn't a great fighter, at his absolute peak he clearly was. Does 1 great win qualify him to be a top 5 Heavyweight of all time? No. It's disrespectful to the fighters that had long reigns and a number of great wins on their resume.

KillaBlu What about Roy Jones?

He only lost to Holyfield because the fight was put on hold for 20 minutes after the infamous parachute landing , giving Holy time to recuperate . BOWE ONE OF THE BEST EVER .

Lost to golota too, 2x times.

They grow up together......Tyson said he didn’t want to fight someone he considered to be a friend.

Yeah at that time 93-95 but Tyson 86-89 would have knocked out Bowe, two of my favourite heavyweights post Ali, Foreman, Frazier Era

@@ZBOXINGTALK prime for prime Riddick would smash Tyson .

@@3rdpersonality48 i don't think so

Tyson had better defense than bowe.

Huh lol

Stay off the hey run and you could remember something or you warrnt old enough to remember Tysons legacy cause you have no clue what you speak when you talk about Tyson if you had a clue what you said would have never left your mouth, ignorance is never bliss !!!

@Awoken Truther Tyson is NOT over rated OMG !!!!! He was killing people in the ring deviating punching power like from no other had the world seen and they still no one with his speed and power combined with skill you mufukas is tripping hard wilder get his kicked and so would Furry if Tyson decides to truly fight you wait and see it's coming ...

@Luciano It's a pity he had all the tools and possibly could have been among the greats, he went into the marines after boxing and could not even finish boot camp, dropped out, became a habit with him, quitting!

Agreed and Bowe vs Tyson would have been another mouth-watering fight!

@@willieisgreen Tyson said he would never fight Bowe out of respect they grew up on the same block

Bowe ducked Lewis

@@clentdarreldapat1700 Bowe didn't duck Lewis. Lewis actually refused to fight Bowe for 3 million dollars. Bowe asked to fight Lewis first. Lewis was the best at cherry picking. He would wait for fighters to be washed up or beat up .

@@grill9067 Actually Bowe made two offers to Lennox Lewis the first one was for 3 million dollars and the second one was for 12 million dollars and Lewis declined both offers he wanted to get the same money that Bowe was getting which he knew that wasn’t going to happen.

I think his prime ended before then.

Lewis was knocked out twice by bums JS

@@whovee23pghpa22 the only bum that beat lewis was rahman.

None to the level of Bowe that's for sure haha

True Andrew destroy him and end his prime.

Apparently he had brain damage after fighting Golota, personally I would have thought his nuts would be damaged after these two fights tho, when he was in court after kidnapping his wife his lawyer was using footage from the second fight with Golota arguing that after this fight his brain was damaged and he wasn't thinking straight when he kidnapped her.

The fight with Holyfield make bowe brain damage.If it not happen he would have murder golotta

Because he did indeed lack discipline it's well known. A lot of people think he lost his fight against Tony Tubbs and he should've lost both Golota fights if Golota wasn't a complete head case and punched him in the balls. Bowe was a great fighter with tremendous talent and potential but for a short period of time.

Bowe is considered by those in boxing, as a more natural talented boxer / fighter than Lewis...he just liked eating too much, and sitting on his arse...Holyfield only won the rematch because Bowe was at his heaviest fighting weight ever, and took Holyfield's spirit for granted. He trained properly for the first and the third and won both...and Evander was obviously younger, more agile, passionate, ambitious, was fitter, taken less punishment in his career, and was genrally a much better Holyfield that fought Lewis twice years later, and Lewis didn't hurt him in 24 rounds...Bowe had a better Holyfield battered and beaten...

@@bloodfluke7530 Lewis fought very cautiously against Holyfield despite having every physical advantage. If he'd opened up he would have got him out of there, but it's unfair to say he didn't hurt in 24 rounds. That's patently untrue. I also don't believe the Holyfield Bowe beat in their first bout was as good as the one Lewis faced; he was younger but he was also dumber.

True

What a terrible analysis. It was holy to didn't throw anything and was in defensive mode.

Styles make fights. Lewis would have knocked Bowe out in 6mins

+Arco Iris The first one? It's this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otV2lqyT3M-ogmw.html

@@hanzagod What about the second song?

Too bad cause he'd most likely beat Lennox 🤣

Vena, you have more confidence that Bowe beats Lewis than he and his Pussy manager Rock Newman did.

Hey it was the WBC rules clause that Lennox was hiding behind, he was losing to Bowe in the Olympic trials when they stopped the fight in the 2nd round it was one sided it was all Bowe not Lennox

@Jay 2021 you wanna book that fight? I promise you gone wish the first round was 12.

+Lord Dayu He would have gotten killed, and he knew it from the Olympics where he tasted the thunder of Lewis.

Since he already did I don't understand the question.

shevegen I think people just give Lewis unnecessary props. Is it impossible that he knocks out bowe. No. The doesnt have a field day. Even on Bowes worst day his opponents struggled.

Battle Rifle The stoppage in the Olympics was bullshit, even for an amateur stoppage it was soft. Shit officials all the way through the boxing in Seoul.

So Gonzalez was a better professional than both Lewis and Bowe because he killed them both in the amateur game...Nope...Bowe battered him in the pro game...Good amateur doesn't mean good professional....Audley HARRISON won GOLD... MY God...How awesome he was when he turned professional.....Olympics is amateur boxing....I'm sure Roger Federer got his arse kicked in amateur tennis tournaments...but doesn't mean they'll be better years later....some progress, some don't.... BOWE would've battered Lewis... Lewis couldn't hurt an old Holyfield in 24 rounds...Bowe had a better chin, could box and brawl, and could throw better bunches, better combos, better uppercuts...he threw the belt away not cause he was scared.. Bowe was a street hoodlum, knew Tyson as a young young kid...he wanted more money, it was a stand against the world boxing council who he thought weren't treating him with due respect...

Already got one

@@hanzagod how about make a good one like Joe Frazier or tomas hurn

@@boxingfirst9130 Already got them just check the channel bud.

How about a moe ham head alley video?

NO WAY

It was because of WBC rules Lennox hiding behind them, he was losing to Bowe in the Olympic trials when they stopped the fight 2nd round but Lennox hiding from Bowe NOT the other way around

I totally agree with you except for Fury, he's so skilled

@GRap TheGOAT beating holyfield twice is pretty impressive, holyfield beat mike Tyson twice
