    I tend to agree with you.

        Foreman is different story. When Foreman retired for the first time, he had taken very little punishment (the Lyle fight was the only fight where George received bad beating) and was in good shape unlike Bowe who was already completely shot fighter and probably brain damaged. Hell, Bowe probably took more punishment in Golota fights than George did in his whole career.

            Remember Buster Douglas's comeback? About like that.

                Make no mistake about it, Rid**** Bowe is shot and has no business in a boxing ring. He should not be fighting in the ring, he should not be training in the gym, he should not be exposed to further head trauma.

                In his trial when he kidnapped his family, his defense pleaded for leniency on the basis that his boxing career caused him severe brain injury. His deteriorated speech patterns back that up.

                When was the last time he looked good, seriously? The third Holyfield fight? Certainly not in the two fights with Andrew Golota or the subsequent comeback fights that resulted in public outcry to revoke his boxing license.

                In a state like Arkansas, where the standard boxing physical consists of getting your blood pressure taken, he could probably fight. Somewhere like Nevada or New York? Hehe, good luck.

                  Foreman was also a big puncher matched dubiously over nondescript opposition. Bowe has never been a big puncher, he was more of a boxer who used his jab to set his moves up.

                  The last time I saw Bowe, his jab was painfully slow and his right hand was disturbingly inaccurate.

                    Last I heard Bowe was a no-show to a fight. He's fighting again?

                      The only kind of table Bowe can make any sort of a contribution to is a buffet table.
