Rid**** Bowe

[bigrealmike]

A fighter`s peak isn`t just determined by their physical abilities. Its also their mental attitude and focus, the total package. Bowe in 1992 was at his very best, as was Tyson in 1988. After these times Bowe and Tyson were still world class fighters, they just weren`t gonna be as good as they were in 1992 and 1988 respectively.

Bowe and Tyson should be judged by the same criteria as everyone else. If they take a fight before they are 30-35 years old or so, then they should be judged by the result of that fight. It is easier for me to believe that Bowe was not as good as everyone thought than it is for me to believe that the laws of aging affected him differently from the way they affect everyone else.

Bowe is a death in the ring waiting to happen. Toney would ****ing kill Bowe. Bowe sucks. I mean damn, Golota really was beating him both times.

Oh, he faked that whole low blow thing. Yeah, Golota definitely really landed low blows, but they didn't hurt Bowe that bad unless he wasn't wearing protective gear.

Bowe's best bet is to keep fighting bums until Joe Mesi is back, then have a Buffalo showdown with him for a nice payday. After Bowe knocks Mesi out, Bowe can retire. It'd be Bowe's best chance, but won't happen.

The style of a fighter has an effect on their longevity. As well as the age they started, etc. Most explosive in-fighters like Tyson don't last all that long. Cuties can have longer "primes" because they can hold onto that elusiveness longer. In-fighters get hit more just to land shots a lot of times.

"Oh, he faked that whole low blow thing"?!?!?! Damn man, have you never been hit low?Whether you are wearing protection or not, three or four blows like the ones that Golota fired are sure to have an effect on your nuts!
