      Good choice, man. Timing is nice too after this weekend's fight. People were up in arms that I said Wlad and Joshua looked stiff. Bowe is a perfect reminder that fighters 6'5" and over don't need to lack fluidity.
      And, the chins on these guys too!!

        Bowe was one of the rare few guys that size who looked as fluid and controlled as a middleweight. I reguard him as a special talent. One we'd be lucky to ever see again. Bowe just had it when he was on.

          I thought about this fight after seeing Saturday's fight. I was never a fan of Holyfield but I gained a lot of respect for him.

                I forgot how light Holyfield was then, it seems like later he would usually come in around 218 or so.

                  Yup, he wasn't a natural heavyweight thus the speculation of steroid use.

                    My favorite fight & round (10) of all time!

                    Holyfield was a true warrior. Real life Rocky
