    Bowe, Just what can he bring to the HW table?

    OK guys Bowe has stepped back into the HW division after a long retirement, what can he now in his late thirties bring to the HW table.
    Bowe a former HW champion never fought Lewis much to the disapointment of many fans, and why?
    Im my oppinion, Lewis and Bowe didnt need each other they both realised it was a fight that they could both of lost with the looser being left in the wilderness without a title and a knickname of who needs him, therefore, for the fans sake they danced around the fight and made the usual excuses about money and contractual incompatabilities, we all know it was bull****.
    But now lets talk about Bowe and his return to the HW division, whats the guy got if he has retained his skills and power, we will talk about his heart l8r.
    A year ago I heard he was walking around at 360lbs+, but back in training, now I see a chisled lookin 6"5' 250lbs fighter who appears to be seriious about returning to HW glory.
    If this guy has retained some of his skills and power he is more than capeable of rolling over any HW currently in the division with ease. Dont judge Bowe by his fights with the Pole Gallota as he was already disalusioned with the game and hadnt been training properly for months before those fights.
    My question stands, What do you think Bowe brings to the table now at his age??

          To me Bowe was finished when he retired so i don't see what he can do now after all this time doing nothing, Foreman was a one off, not everybody can do what he did, even if you say there's not much out there to beat, i just don't see Bowe being a force in the division at all.

            Lets at least see what he has got before we write him off, Bowe has alot of pride he wouldnt have comeback unless he thought he could contribute to an allready poor division.

              That's fair but all i'm saying is he looked done 8 years ago so i'm struggling to see what he can do now, i wish him all the best however.

                I feel if this fighter is not too old, he still has a chance. When you are very tall and take very good care of your body and mind, you can win still. I feel a champion always has a championship heart forever. He knows what it takes to win a championship. George Foreman proved it is possible to comeback.

                  Bowe did not take care of his body in prison and im sure it will hurt in the long run....

                    Watch the second fight against Golota and you will see a fighter in Bowe who was at the end of his rope. Richard Steele stopped that fight on low blows and saved Bowe not only from losing the fight but getting damaged even more because even though I had Golota clearly winning the fight, all the point deductions Golota had in that fight might have made Golota even more desperate in the final 10th round and he could have attacked and really destroyed Bowe for good but Richard Steele saved Bowe from losing the fight and possibly his life.
