    Yeah, OK. Of course he "wants" the Klitschkos....thats where the money is.

    I feel sorry for him. Not a genuinely bad person. He had a useless cunt for a manager.

    I interviewed Bowe back in my very early days. I was a nervous young reporter... He was so kind and understanding when I was funbling through a question I hadn't thought out properly. I'll never forget it.

    It was during his first comeback bid. "Klitschko's a big cigar, but between you and I, I think I'd smoke him," he told me.

    It's a sad story.

    More like it's just Vitali & Wlad's luck that Riddick Bowe was in his prime in 1992 instead of 2002.

    Followed up by "reasons" why Bowe "wasn't a bad opponent" for Vitali including the famous "who else was he gonna fight??"

    Yeah, I can see that. If you need the money and already have the brain damage, why not?

    Bowe is more durable than he was in the 90s.

    Nope. That's Briggs. Now, I know they all look alike to you and all, but do try to stay with the programme, dear.

    Bowe is fucked. Bowe is federally fucked. His own lawyer pleaded brain-damage from the Golota fights {hence my alluding to the wall coming down, ya'll musta4got}

    Briggs on the other hand floated around, he caught a half-a-clipping from Botha, bit of clipping from Lewis.....nothing comparable to the volume of punishment that Bowe absorbed across the 5 fights he had with Holy/Golota.

    Bowe can't even speak straight and has declined physically. Of course he had declined phsyically for the first Golota fight, y'all musta4got that too. :rolleyes:

    Briggs has not been subject to any of this mad gain/hurried loss phenomena that Bowe was. I guess yallmust4got about that too.

    Oh what a tangled web we weave when we try to come up with bullshit excuses that just don't fit the fucking facts.

    Bowe should pop in a tape of his fight with Billy Zumbrun for a reminder of why he should never fight again.

    I'll take Vitali over Bowe at any point in history. It would be Golota vs Bowe without the ball shots, basically Bowe gets beaten down.

    Vitali wouldnt have an answer for the young Bowe.

    Big brother is NAUSEATINGLY over-rated.

    Bowe would have just thrown his belt away instead of facing monsters like the Klitschkos.

    Well, Vitali in particular certainly moves about the ring like Frankenstein.

    A young Bowe would school Vitali

    Disagreed. Up close Bowe would land some but he would also be an easy target for Vitali's continuous peppering. After six fairly even rounds it would become a target practice in favor of Vitali. Of course, he would move all wrong while beating Bowe
