    RID**** BOWE - Your thoughts

    The man gave us one of the best trilogies against Holyfield.. Had a killer jab, great boxing skills yet so few talk about him on this forum

    Why isn't he usually rated on a top 100 ATG?

      I heard that he was ready to return to Boxing later this year and was already in training for a bout.

          He had a pretty short run at the top.

          He was easily the best Heavyweight inside fighter I've seen since Joe Frazier.

          Just one of those dudes who blew up fast, gave us some memorable moments, and then faded into obscurity.

          He doesn't have the record required to be an "All Time Great" in most observer's eyes.

              Because they really dont appreciate true boxing talent. They are all about what have you done for me lately and last they saw, Rid**** was vastly out of shape, so they throw around jokes about his weight as if thats the only recollection they have of him.

                Yeah, that was lame.

                Lennox wants these titles, he's gonna have to dig 'em out of the trash!

                    some of the best natural talent i have ever seen at heavy, but he squandered it, and never lived up to anything even close to his potential.
