Comments Thread For: Bowe Should Forget His Klitschko Dreams, Stay Retired

BIGPOPPAPUMP

By Mark Staniforth - While there are countless apocryphal tales of the extent to which Riddick Bowe ate his way out of heavyweight greatness, few could deny the raw talent possessed by the fighter they fondly knew as 'Big Daddy'.

Unfortunately, outside his epic trilogy against Evander Holyfield, it is events outside the ring for which Bowe will be best remembered, be it his eating habits or his public dumping of the WBC belt in a dustbin rather than face Lennox Lewis.

Bowe's post-championship career petered out amid health concerns, a conviction for kidnapping his wife, and bankruptcy. He lasted just 11 days in the US Marine Corps, and failed to show up for a mooted 2008 comeback fight.

TRASH!
