    Who the hell in history can beat Bowe?

    Seems like Larry Holmes, Vitali, and Lennox Lewis are the only ones that could beat a motivated Bowe

    --- If you had never been born, whose the schoolboy crush to gush over Big Dummy?

    Any of the top HOFers would whoop em including Wlad and Joshua.

    I shudder to think what Langford, Dempsey and Louis woulda done to the oaf in their 6oz horsehides...next...

        A disciplined Golota. And that’s not saying much.

          But was it an undisciplined Bowe?

          Also it says Bowe he beat him twice, why did Golota need to low blow in both fights so much? IF he was winning? Strange!?

          Cant remember what happened ?

            In their 2nd fight Bowe cleverly hit Golota low first when ref was shielded. Golota then unloaded several low blows in front of the ref.
            The rest is history.

              Sounds like they were low blowing all night

                That’s why I said undisciplined. Go watch the fights. Golota was up on the cards in both fights when he got DQ’d. He didn’t give low blows because he was in trouble, he just did it because he couldn’t aim a body shot to save his life, and he was sloppy.

                  If I remember correctly he quit vs Tyson is that right? Shows how powerful Tyson is compared to even Bowe who is huge

                    Eddie Futch at one point thought Bowe could be the best heavyweight he ever trained.

                    But the guy didn't really love fighting, he just happened to be good at it. What he did love was eating too much. And he was lazy and undisciplined.

                    If a fighter won't accept the rigors needed to be great then he never fully lives up to his potential.
