Shorter prime than Bowe?

The Bowe/Hollyfield trilogy is my favourite series of fights in Boxing.

In the 1st fight Bowe was a monster.

But he never hit those highs again.

Fucking fried chicken and cake robbed us of a elite HW.

Bowe could do it all. Box on the inside and outside. Had a solid chin.

Here is my question......

Has another other combat athlete had a shorter prime than Riddick Bowe? Phone Post

Part One!

Part Two!

Part Three!

Good questions to be perfectly honest. It would have been cool to see him fight Lennox, but honestly it would have probably ended badly.


Maybe Sokoudjou in terms of MMA. Obviously he is did not reach near the level Bowe did, but still KOed two top 5 guys extremely quickly.

I also wish they would restart the Legendary Nights series again. Those documentaries were awesome.

Tucker was actually a very good fighter. Lost interest after Tyson., even still he didn't lose another fight for almost 6 years. Phone Post

His prime was longer than his miltitary career...(less than a week.)

To this day, every time I think of Bowe, I think of the Larry Donald press conference...

You are just reading Wiki and not watching the fights.

The Bowe that that turned up to beat Hollyfield was by far the best Bowe we had seen.

All time great level.

Due to Bowe being lazy/crazy/fried chicken he never hit that level of fitness, sharpness again. Phone Post

DanChow - Tony Tuckers title reign lasted 64 days, surely that is the shortest title reign for a fighter to win and lose the title in competitive bouts.

Talking about a fighter's prime.

Bowe turned up in his best ever shape and looked on his way to being a elite and all time great HW.

Due to being lazy and hating training Bowe need hit that level again. Phone Post

Golota ruined Bowes fragile psyche. Andrew was lighting him up bigtime before the DQ in the first and second fights. Bowe had a weak mind, and Golota snapped it.

Blue please

Bowe was already past his prime by then.

Fried chicken kicked his ass way before that fight took place. Phone Post
