If Rid**** Bowe stayed in shape. . . Could he have been great?

If he'd had the stones he would have ended up in a heap at Lennox Lewis' feet.

not necessarily if he turned it into a fight he had the big white head to win, he just lacked a bit of speed vs lennox

I think a lot of sustained success comes down to personal discipline and having the intelligence to surround yourself with competent people that help you meet and sustain excellence. Its true in boxing and almost every other profession. I really do not know Rid****'s career as well as many of you may but some bad decisions were involved.

This guy was special, it's a shame he didn't have the desire or the discipline to maintain his level or even improve upon it.
