What is your guys opinion on Rid**** Bowe?

[Mister Casbong]

In my opinion Bowe had top 10 ATG skills (maybe even top 5), and squandered them somewhat.

well he obvously had something otherwise eddie futch would
never have trained him .. but he didn't reach his potential ...
if only he had holyfields heart ....

Bowe did'nt lack heart he lacked dedication

If Tyson doesn't go to jail, who wins Tyson-Bowe in 1992 or 1993?

Bowe would have won a unanimous decision or late TKO. Tyson would have had to knock Bowe out early and i really couldn't see that happening. Tyson gets weaker as the rounds went on and 1992 is the year that Bowe beat Holyfield the first time and thats Bowes peak right there. He was too hot around that time period and Tyson had already started to decline by that point(i would have still favored Bowe over peak Tyson) He would be too much. Tyson was very protected and his management avoided the best competition like a Ray Mercer, Tim Witherspoon, peak Holyfield, early Lewis ect.

I would acually favor Bowe over a few greats. 1992 version of Bowe could pull off a few upsets. He was shinning.

[Mr. Philadel]

Bowe gets over-looked because he was too afraid to fight Lennox, plus our last images of Bowe were gettin his ****in head brutally knock around by Golata!the same Golata that Lennox KTFO'd! Bowe didn't love the sport so the sport will show him no love in return!

Lol, yes i've been quite busy but thanks for noticing fellas. And as far as what slicksouthpaw16 says these days, I have no problem with him. I usually ignore him these days.

I don't think i've ever discredited bowe, he is who he is. My opinion on him is that he was just another fighter with the potential to become great, but not in the same class as others. With Bowe's nature, he would have NEVER lasted/reigned for very long. His real flaws are often ignored because some people think he wasn't trying his best in this or that department. And lastly, without his win over Holyfield he would have been forgotten.
But I did like Bowe back in the day. Back when I could understand his jibberish and when he wasn't damaged enough to display his great talents as a big man(confirmed by the proper experts. And no I don't mean you southpaw, LOL).

Bowe was the best inside fighter of any of the big tall heavyweights.
