Riddick Bowe - Making A Comeback!

Wow, surely the worst idea he could ever have thought up?

Says he is coming back because there is 'no excitement'. Surely he won't have anything left?

April the...nope, December. Umm...

Dear God no. Whoever gives him a licence should be jailed.

He'll get a licence I wouldn't be surprised to see him turn up in Russia and get sparked out. They seem to love a fat legend over their.

probably no worse than the likes of Rahman and Mccall who continue to box. they gotta earn a living somehow

At least Rahman and McCall can speak coherently. Have you heard Bowe talk?

Anyone for Bowe/Holyfield IV?

Nah, didn't think so...............

I thought that McCall was still in prison? Can anyone confirm either way?

He's out and still fighting. Apparently he had a fight in August or thereabouts

no i havent. is he bad?

Bowe looked a shot fighter against Golota.....and that was 15 years ago.
However, I remember watching him fight only a few years back on the Klitschko-Rahman undercard.
His comeback will be short lived.

Should match him up with toney. It could be billed as the immovable object vs the unstoppable force... battle of the waistlines.

Hope he stays retired and leaves us with the treasured memories we have...

The Holyfield 1 win was incredible..as was the trilogy!!...showed true heart and showed as much will as the glorious Holy...truelly an amazing win taking Holy's 0......

Always think it a shame Lennox never fought Bowe...certainly be a 50-50 fight....

But the Holy win for me is the last really great defining win from a heavyweight..

A guy beating a wonderful champ in his prime..

Stay retired Big daddy..

Bowe shoud stay retired the guy was a chicken who would not face Lewis he was not a proper champ imo. He threw his belt in a bin to avoid Lewis this is why Lewis called him Chicken Bowe. Lewis destroyed Bowe in the amateurs and Bowe was scared of him.

Everything is black and white to you isn't it...

Think you're probably wumming but if not watch Bowe and Holy 1,2 and 3 and see If you feel the same..

For last defining win beefster I would be tempted to have the Lewis's fight against vatali. Almost like a changing of the guard.

Not sure a cut eye stoppage and a contentious decision is defining..

Think he means defining for the division, as it signalled the end of the Lewis era, Truss.

Maybe...I was referring to a defining fight......

Lewis was old against Vitali and Vitali lost contentiously to Lewis..

Left us with ifs and buts....

But his opinion is valid in other respects..

I think Bowe would have beaten Lewis in his prime, however his prime was very short lived.

Agreed. I reckon Bowe would have KO'd Lewis.

Don't think it exists on this particular planet.
