Riddick Bowe talks about his life struggles

[@patkelly3966]

Its a real shame to hear Riddick bowe talk today. He was so articulate and sharp as a young man.

[@JGunit]

He's not alone. Sad what happens to their brains

[@normand5847]

Did you hear him the other day before the Wilder Fury fight? He was asked about Lewis. Couldn't understand anything he said, except the part about him saying Lewis likes his butthole slammed.

[@sebastianoflament9012]

Because you need to live right now at the moment and enjoy. You can't expect what's gonna happen few years later...Sad life...

[@kai_johnsonn]

Was just about to comment the same thing! Just watched him in a video remembering Ali, not knowing what he sounded like in his prime. This was the next video and I was shocked.

[@Pablito46]

Agreed.

[@estelladubose6512]

Riddick seems like such a sweet guy. He's one of my all time favorites.

[@mathematics557]

One of my all time favorite fighters 💯💯💪🏿💪🏿

[@LUKERs1196]

One of the greatest heavyweights of them all My top 5 up there with Tyson, Ali, Lennox and Evander

[@oldironsides4107]

Huge Riddick bowe fan. I saw him pluck a bunch of gold fish from an aquarium and started eating as many as he could before he was escorted out of the pet shop He then started to try to break all the aquariums The dudes a legend

Bowe did not duck Lewis. It was his trainers who did not want him to fight Lewis at the time. Great fighter though - one of the top heavyweights!

[@easygrin1127]

Bowe was going to fight Lewis. But Lewis got himself knocked out by McCall.

[@1punchbrownyt338]

@@easygrin1127 and lewis and Bowe were supposed to fight again but bowe was suppose to beat Golota but didn't

[@slingshotdon]

@@1punchbrownyt338 bowe won via disqualification dummy. For receiving low blows the only loss on Bowes record was a razor thin one to holyfield that really he should have won. And he's beaten holyfield twice. One by k.o

[@oldironsides4107]

Yeah but bowe retired after golota

[@sexydudeuk2172]

Well I remember reading in a sports magazine years ago when lewis became undisputed champion and he said bowe had been making insults at him and lewis said he challenged bowe to a fight and bowe refused

[@H.K.5]

He was a good looking guy back then.

[@LeSunshineee]

Notice how they put ridduck instead of riddick 0:03 haha

[@H.K.5]

Probably a reference to him ducking Lennox Lewis 😂

He's not broke! Why would you say that? He don't have Mayweather money, but who does?

[@TheCharlesJackson]

2:37 tf!? Aite then!

[@yuljohnson2467]

This is the one of the many moments of the golden age of boxing, when Riddick had Eddie futch training him and Rock neuman was managing him. Riddick was sharp and unbeatable at this time and brought so much pizazzz and excitement to the heavyweight division, which is sorely lacking in that division today. I'd love to see Riddick turn back the clock and beat Tyson fury.

[@COLEEN322]

GREAT VIDEO THANK YOU

[@jasona9]

I really liked and admired Riddick Bowe. Very poor and humble beginnings. He was robbed in the Olympics, but took it like a man in the wake of serious health and family issues. Unfortunately, I lost all respect for him once he won the title. He ducked the number 1 contender, fought inferior opponents, and just lost all his discipline. He was not a great heavyweight champion, but he COULD HAVE BEEN.

[@johnbryan3386]

jasona9 Robbed in the Olympics?? How so? Lennox spanked him! What y'all talkin bout!

[@roderickbryant157]

John Bryan Lennox didn't spank him stop fronting.

[@jasona9]

John Bryan I believe that Bowe won the first round, and the head butting foul was controversial. I also believe that the stoppage was premature and controversial in the Lewis vs Bowe Olympic Fight. Regardless, I believe that Bowe had added incentive to fight Lewis as a professional, but he and his pussy manager crafted the most blatant duck in boxing history.

[@marcobuffon8502]

@@johnbryan3386 spanked him ? Did you actually watch the fight a very wrong stoppage bowe won the 1st round too

[@markomaric903]

My opinion about Riddick was that he let to many kicks in the head. He was capable to avoid it much more, but maybe his chin was good enough so he didnt bother to much

[@B1FFCO]

Theres no kicks in boxing😂

@@B1FFCO average Joe, understand my point, since it is obvious that english is not my native language

[@jimjimskimmer1935]

Could of been one of the all time greats. But lacked serious discipline. Had a huge heart, great talent but after he won the title was lazy. Should if ko'd Holyfield in all there bouts.

[@vbh5975]

TheGooners11 fury is still in his prime there is still time for him to become an all time great

[@LUKERs1196]

Evander is no pushover You dont just KO a prime Holyfield but Bowe managed to KO holyfeild which is something Lennox couldn't do in 24 rounds and something Tyson couldn't do in 2 fights either

[@chocolatethundercherry143]

All them boxing cats have the same story they had to fight their way out mentally and physically. The injuries, people stealing from you , drugs , never ending competition, and other burdens are these guys downfall....

[@easygrin1127]

Big George actually got richer outside of boxing.

[@throwball2248]

He could of been more legendary then what he was

[@joonaslehtonen7965]

Thats very true. And he was and is one of the great hw fighters ever, but he had a chance to be goat. He really had that chance. He only lost once as pro if i remember right. A loss he later on avenged. He burned very bright, but for very, very short time. Like 3-4 years and then decline started

[@dbrown9495]

Pretty sharp guy! He wanted to take my aunt out

[@TheBullOfLewisham]

Thank you. 🌹

[@mikem591]

Riddick was a cool guy. Holyfield in different interviews, implies he was the toughest HW he ever fought.

yet bowe did a better job on holifield than Lennox did.

[@wutang5503]

Lennox got koed twice by bums. he's got dumb power over Lennox and a far greater chin not to mention he's bigger. You're an idiot if you think bowe wouldn't have a chance against Lennox. a miniscule amount of boxers are near jts level what kind of dumb shit are you saying.
