Why is Rid**** Bowe so overrated?

[ShaneMosleySr]

But he beat Golata. It was Golata’s fault and terrible performances for Bowe, but those are good wins now.

And actually, Rid**** Bowe’s resume has aged very well.

He has wins over five former heavyweight champions (Evander Holyfield, Pinklon Thomas, Tony Tubbs, Bruce Seldon, Michael Dokes)

He has wins over two fringe champions Lionel Butler (IBO) and Herbie Hide (WBO).

He has wins over Andrew Golata, Bert Cooper and Tyrell Biggs, all of whom challenged for world championships.

The win over Larry Donald has also aged very well.

He lost twice to Golota in my mind. Absolutely battered both times, and he lost by CO (chicken out) to Lewis. Aside from a 12 stone Holyfield, he didn't beat anyone of note. He got Holyfield at the right time when he was very undersized for the HW division. I think Chicken Bowe is on the Helenius, Martin, Washington, King Malik Scott, level.

Surely though, you can't dispute his loss by chicken out to Lewis? It's one of, if not the most embarrassing duck in boxing history.

The decision to not fight Lewis didn’t age well for him.

Bowe was very good for a few years. Had no discipline and got fat and slow before he was 28.

Only big guy who could fight on the inside. Holyfield said Bowe was the best fighter he ever fought.

Rid**** was great, he just wasn't great for long, one of those guys that can have it all but just lack the inner desire to hold it.

His career got ended by an Euro bum.

AJ has already surpassed him on the ATG list.

But I'd pick him over Mike Tyson for beating Holyfield 2x.

Mike Tyson is the 2nd most of overrated heavyweight ever after Wilder.
