Riddick Bowe lost one time throughout his professional boxing career. On November 6, 1993, Bowe lost to Evander Holyfield by a majority decision.

Had Riddick beat Evander on November 6, 1993. Had Bowe beat Andrew Golota not by disqualifications, but, by decisions. Had Riddick fought Lennox Lewis, had Bowe beat Lennox by a knockout.


Do you think that Riddick Bowe could be ranked among the top 5 heavyweight boxers of all time?



Please explain.

No he wouldn't any more than Rocky Marciano is ranked that high and he went 49-0... He just didn't fight anybody.

Neither did Bowe except for Holyfield.... He ducked Lewis, Mercer, McCall, Ruddock, Tyson, Tua and every big puncher there was.... He didn't take a shot real well and all those guys would have flattened him.... Holyfield knocked him down, but couldn't knock him out because Evander was really a Cruiserweight...

Holy came in too light for their 1st fight at 205.... In the rematch he built himself up to 217 and beat Bowe4.... Then for the rubber match he was having some kind of physical issues like he had with the 1st Moorer fight... The media said it was heart issues... It was a problem Holyfield said was cured by going to a Hindu Mystic.

I'm not sure what it was for Moorer and the Bowe rubber match.... Holyfield was doing something that was messing his body up.... Dr Margaret Goodman told the press it as abuse of HGH...
