    That seems pretty interesting. Hell maybe somewhere along the line him and Holyfield can get back in the ring.

      As a die-hard boxing fan and historian, one boxer I don't know alot about is Rid**** Bowe...I know about his bouts with Holyfield and thats about it. Why did he leave the sport if he had such an outstanding record? And last I heard he was overweight/out of shape, dont know if there is truth to that

        First of all, Bowe hated training and definetly came into the ring out of shape for big fights.

        And second of all, he looked completely finished and done with after the first Gollata fight, and especially after the 2nd.

        The holyfield trilogy took a lot out of him, and what ever he had left was taken away by Golata

        Bowe speech is already slurring, he is definetly punch drunk and shows clear mental issues from boxing.

        Health-wise, im against his Comeback.

        But i wish him the best of luck and if that hunger is back maybe he will train hard this time.

        If he is even slightly succesful, at least there will be one heavyweight worth watching... other then Peter cause Peter is fun as well

          Thats disgusting that they'd let him fight. The guy is brain-damaged. This is like letting ali fight at his old age.

              Yea I dont agree with this.

              Remember an old Ali against Holmes and Berbick.

              Was hurtful to watch, same will probably apply to Bowe

                  OMG Mayweather would get owned by Cotto in this fight. OMG OMG Mayweather ducks everyone. OMG Mayweather vs Bowe would be a blood fest




                  Yeah Bowe doesn't really need to get back in the ring... I'm afraid we are going to see another steroid scandal soon.
