Dumbest fight plans ever!!

[Dynamite Kid]

I agree Bowe was hurt there but in the third fight he seemed finished. Holyfield was simply not able to throw any punches, he had put everything into the left hook he knocked Bowe down with and could hardly raise his arms at that point.

Could have been one of the most amazing comebacks of all time because Holyfield was truly taking a beating and George Foreman was actually shouting at the referee to stop it right before Holyfield knocked Bowe down.

Speaking of terrible gameplans, I really don't know what Bowe's plan was in the rematch with Golota. Perhaps he was too weight-drained because the only thing he did in that fight was lay against the ropes and absorb punishment. Golota actually landed nearly 100 punches in one of the rounds.

In the end he did win as Golota was looking for a way out but he paid a heavy price.

Agree.

You know i dont think Holyfield is any kind of puncher at all, so i think it speaks volumes for how far down the road Bowe was in terms of what he had left.

Holyfield hit Bobby Czyz with everything and never rocked him once, i seem to remember him hitting De Leon with the Kitchen sink before De Leon got stopped, he was literally hitting De Leon with the flushest shots he could muster and he was making no imprint. The punch that rocked Tyson was **** on the chin and by rights it should of knocked Tyson out, if Holyfield was any kind of puncher. I think Czyz campaigned at 168 at one point to.

Herbie Hide also shook Bowe a little before that 3rd Holy fight, so Bowe said in his post fight interview anyway.

Some white guy tried to steamroll mike tyson right after he got out of jail. that was sort of funny but it kind of worked until it didn't.

Yeah, Peter McNeeley lol. That fight being stopped was ridiculous though, McNeeley was plenty able to fight on and was obviously catching Tyson off guard.

Cotto slugging with Torres was pretty ******...

Moorer ****ed up tryin to slug to a KO over Foreman.

a more recent one, Paulie Malignaggi vs Ricky Hatton, decides to wrestle with him when he's already having success on the outside. I have a feeling he was trying to do what Mayweather did only he failed to recognize that Mayweather was popping a right hand into his face as opposed to a jab.

Holyfields plans in the 1st and 3rd Bowe fights weren't smart and cost him lots of punishment. You could perhaps argue that in the 3rd fight his stamina and legs were preventing him from hopping on his bike and boxing like he did in the 2nd fight, but the first fight was just plain over confidence in his strength and power, trying to brawl with a younger, stronger man. Not smart at all Evander.

Joe Frazier vs George Foreman 2 was an amusing one. Joe obviously thought he could emulate Ali's win and starts by dancing, hitting and moving and after a few rounds of still being dominated trying this he tried to rope a dope and counter! No suprise that he didn't see the sixth round!!!

Gerald Mclellan would ALWAYS go for a first round KO in all of his fights. including fights with punchers like julian jackson, mugabi and benn. the crazy part is it worked for him most of the time. it wasnt really ****** just kinda crazy.

hattons lack of gameplan and performance has to be #1.

Henry Akinwande planned to beat Lennox Lewis by cuddling him all night. He did manage to knock Lewis down enroute and was well on his way to victory when Mills Lane threw him out for 'not trying'!

[princemanspoper]

No he wasn't,he was down on all scorecards and the knockdown was never counted

I think it speaks volumes to how weak Rid**** Bowe's chin was
