    I know, Golota had those fights in the bag.

    Bowe was great at his best, his trilogy with Holyfield was amazing. I also loved when he beat Herbie Hide for the WBO. A call between him and Lennox is very very tough indeed, it always takes lot of thinking on my behalf because when i'm about to say who i change my mind. Would definatly have had the potenital to be the biggest and best heavyweight fight of the 90's bar none. Tyson-Bowe would have been nice too.

      That Hide fight was like watching a kid play with his Action-Man

      That reminds me...I need to get hold of that trilogy, it was awesome.

        You do need to get hold of that trilogy, all those fights were awesome. The third is one i'll never forget purely because when you thought Holyfield was beat he came back and put the big man on the canvas for the first time in his career. Actually he did that in all of the fights apart from the second he won.

          Yeah, if you wanted to show someone what Holyfield is all about you'd make them watch those fights.

              Too amazing for his own good. I can't watch his interviews now with the way he's started slurring

                Me neither, it's very sad to watch. Hopefully losing to Larry Donald has persuaded him to think things through VERY deeply.

                  Hopefully. It looks like the boxing commissions are trying step in to end it too by not giving him licences to fight.

                    How good does Britain feel about the Undisputed Middleweight title fight coming up with Howard Eastman?

                      I'm pretty excited about it. Eastman's not a big celebrity over here so it's not getting hyped too much. I think that could change after the fight though, not because I think he'll win but because he'll show people what a class act he is.
