Riddick Bowe One on One w/ Jose OnFire Aguirre 1/24/07

[bobshenix]

The Golota battles finished him... but he was a warrior!

[tblacc11]

i wish that all the people making fun of his speech ran into him in the streets....and oh...now that speech ain't so funny anymore...

[bilvis48]

what???

[90038jhon]

bowe is horribly brain damaged...why bother to dispute anything

[robnice777]

Riddick was definitely one of the best , in his time.

Unfortunately...this is one of the downfalls to tough punch takers.

People criticize Floyd Jr. for knowing how to make people miss him, instead of standing in the phone booth and gettin' your brains beat out.

I respect hard nose tough fighters, but I also give props to smart fighters that made you swing and miss...like early ALI(The greatest), and Pernell Whitaker.

[bosanaczauvjek]

its sad what happened to him and so many other boxer he was amazing and he definitly has brain injuries i remember watchin him in his early career and he could talk clearly but now he cant

[lordkayossrippro]

Much love and respect to one of the gutsiest, most honest, and most courageous fighters in the history of boxing. I bow to you, Riddick.

[tickyul]

 WHO NECKS, WHO NECKS???

[lubui2583]

damn poor guy i cant watch anymore

[thisisgame]

One of the greats!

[Zerrick80]

I think he was making that voice on purpose at the end, as well as the beginning. But he does have slurred speech. But its no different than most other former boxers. Especially heavyweights. besides George Foreman, I really cant think of any former heavyweight bozers who don't have slurred speech.

[lubui2583]

@Zerrick80 yea hes all fucked up. but i loved watching him as a kid. and still appreciate what he has done for the sport

[DarthMuse]

Riddick Bowe will never been in the Hall of Fame threw his belt in the bin to avoid Lennox Lewis the guy that knocked him in 2 rounds are summer olympics hurt his resume big time

[BirthofCharlie]

It's a shame. wasted talent. had everything going for him except the discipline to be a great champ and if you know his story, he could of been of been one of the greats. sad.

[GrittoSnDoLLaZ1]

check out my fight search it ( m2u00158 ) im da spanish kid in blue blue gloves n white adidas

[GrittoSnDoLLaZ1]

check my fight out search it..... ( MERNARD 2 ROUND ) im da kid in da white tank top wif blue gloves..

[GrittoSnDoLLaZ1]

that wus me in da back wen i wus 10 lmaoo..des wus at da coppa coppbana

[MethaMorfin]

fare and square bowe wone the fight,he has hurt of champ,golota not a fighter,he is truck driver

[allmixedupinthehead]

could not have put it better myself....lol

[BoCraps]

Very sad, to hear Bowe's slurred speech, I think he should have quit boxing after the 1st Golata bout. Because of the riot, there was a huge demand for the rematch.

Great fighter period.

[DaveWBedford]

Well Chicken Bowe, Lewis always said he would come out of retirement to fight you. There would be money in that. How about it? Oh hang on...

[BirthofCharlie]

Was he making that voice at the end on purpose or was he for real? if that was for real then that was heart breaking.

[planesx12]

@BirthofCharlie No that's how he sounds. He has brain damage from the fighting.

In my opinion, its from the fights with holyfield

[soffitts]

@planesx12 watch the golota fights again,he took a lot of hard shots,too many.

[ernhutch187]

@soffitts Yeah, especially in the second one. That last knock down came from one of the most vicious combinations I've ever seen. Three power upper-cuts straight to the balls from a 240lb heavyweight contender. Oooohhff. Cup or not, that had to hurt.

[lubui2583]

@soffitts lol hell yea. golota took too many too lmao. he might be finished right now.

[ALshow1989]

It's really sad to think that golota hurt him and damaged his speech.

[Clampz123]

it wasnt just golota...it was the repeated blunt force trauma slapping his brain against his skull.....Poor guy

[1TMacR7]

y0o0o0 ridick faggot iz gay man its all about my boi Lennox real Heavy weight

[pregiscregis]

boxing's biggest ever chicken - "please don't hurt me Mr Lewis, you'll make me cry again"

[zdsrtgnzetmyet]

brain damage...

[hinduw]

LOL riddick bowe ...joke.

[Bjoernbaks]

Seems like a great guy every interview i´ve seen with him. Could have been a great fight between him and Lennox Lewis if both men were in shape.

[ekiezama]

lewis is very very carefully even now on what he eat and how many kilo he gain , i m shore 100% he going to come out of retirement in a less then 2 years , but bowe is out of shape alwais forget bowe man he was a great fighter but not animore , i would like to see lewis vs some good 1 !!!!!!!

[Bjoernbaks]

I hope Lennox stay retired. He has nothing to prove and no active heavyweight is in his league, so I dont think there would be much to gain for him even if he won a comeback fight. And I meant back in the mid 90´s with my Bowe-Lewis fight comment. Not now for sure.

[nykhanlee]

Riddick and I was in the 1988 Olympic trials together.Of course he took it all the way to the Olympics.Great fighter no question.

[newyorkhxc]

this is sad to hear him talk like this

[Sabas121]

Lol, sounds like yogi bear..

[ksmons]

Is that English?

[irishrover1967]

listen fuckhole before bowe won the tittle he tried to get fights with lewis quite a ffew times but lewis refused........ then once bowe got the belt lewis wanted a fight and bowe thought why should i give lewis a fight when he wouldnt give me one

[sweetassugar69]

hold on moron !! before bowe even beat holyfield there was a deal of the winner bowe-holyfield and lewis-ruddock to meet !! winner vs winner !! bowe was never interested in boxing lewis as a champion or challenger !! thats the facts mr rover

[irishrover1967]

yes because lewis wouldnt entertain the idea of fighting bowe before bowe became champion lewisthought it would be a waste of time fighting bowe........ then once he became champion bowe thought why da fuck should i fight him when he wouldnt fight me ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, go read a book you twat

[bpenfold2007]

lewis wouid not fight bowe bowe was the best

[sweetassugar69]

if i remember correctly bowe chucked his belt in the dustbin rather than fight lewis lol you need to get you facts right lol

[BooNooL]

Evander Holyfield vs. Riddick Bowe (13-11-1992) best fight ever! check it out. Riddick Bowe at his very best.

[TEAMHBO]

Someone should introduce Bowe to the welfare system over at , on fire!

[boston1977boston]

man, Bowe seems like he has an awful personality. Obviously no one tells him that because he'll kill them.

[UberKrispy]

Uh Huh. Or he's either been drinking, or had too many punches to the face.

[smoot0420]

He has never been the most literate boxer, but he didn't talk like that before the Golatta fights. Definite case of being punch drunk.

[1king187]

lol u nuts!!! yea he prob would he a big ass mean man wit ah attitude prob!!!! and he kidnapped his wife and son..

[ydedejon9]

riddic cichen bow

[joeytrimble]

wow why do they let this guy fight?

[irishrover1967]

because he was a really good boxer thats why

[joeytrimble]

he WAS ...

[BALLERICA]

I had him pegged as the next greatlong time undisputed champ after his first victory over Holyfield.(and I am a Holyfield fan) What a shame. He was so talented.

[mad3moyer]

The fact that he is scheduled for a fight next month is disgraceful. Very few former champions have shown the ability to handle themselves in the ring when in their forties, and Bowe will not be one of them. Bowe clearly suffers from permanent physical and mental damage from previous fights. A return now is at best going to be embarassing, and at worst, life threatening.

[anthmar35]

This guy could have gone down in history as one of the greatest. It's sad to hear him slurring his words like this.

[82TheGodOfWar]

yea it is. Spoke to him a few weeks ago. just realized he is what they call punch drunk but he is a real down to earth person.

[haynej]

At the very end he sounds like the dude out of the humpty dance....loved his fights with golota and holyfield, shame he's obviously suffering some brain damage there though.

[p4pWar]

hahahaha hes turned soppy

[009yp]

i met big daddy bowe yesterday!!!

[rossow88]

Aparently Bowe is making a comeback.. according to boxrec

[ihatelifejosemartine]

Damn, I guess having an IQ of 74 and getting hit in the head didn't go very well for him.

[gqmighty]

damn...listen to his voice..go listen to him from the early 90's...sad...brain damage..

[poeticjigga]

Riddick Bowe has taken too many punches over the years!! The 3 fights with Holyfield took a lot out of him!!! No Disrespect, but he sounds like Barney the Dinosaur right now!! Someone needs to convience him to stay out of the ring before he becomes worse!!!

[spideRR]

he is punch drunk

[Jorsalfar]

I would love to have seen Bowe fight Buster Douglas.

[aappty]

this man was the undisputed heavy weight champion of the world. gave us 3 of the toughest wars ever in boxing...'gave us nothing'??? anyone ever noticed that ali doesn't exactly sound like shakespear these days? please show this great athlete some respect.

[70tee]

he sounds fucked in the head.

[70tee]

he promised us soooo much, but gave us nothing.

[GCB1982]

You call the trilogy with Holyfield nothing?

[joeytrimble]

god bless you riddick you were one fucking tough customer !!!

[JosephEllington]

I respect the athletes. The only way to get away from "the projects" that means: poverty, is probably to have acess to colleges or sports.

[sugersteve]

riddick woz a good boxer, but good 2 see him doing wot he does best, eating everything in site

[ElephantRage]

Boxing can be so cruel to its best artists...

[natureboyinyourface]

where's bowe?

he's at the dinner table.

[radar200]

He should had been retired after the Golota fight!!!

[radar200]

he was outclassed by Andrew Golota!!!

[fadethetrade]

bowe of 92 and tyson of 88 were the two best since larry holmes. Fuck lennox lewis.He was ovverated and waited for the others to get past their prime.Lennox got ko'd by rahman and mccall and was losing to kletchko.

[bobsinno]

Totally agree, bowe was his worst enemy under tommy brooks, he was difficult to train went for big macs more than he went for a run! shame to see the guy like that, lewis makes a big deal of beating him in olympics seoul was lewis's 2nd olympics it was riddicks 1st hence lewis 3yrs older experience etc, bowe plagued by mental problems throughout career, joining marines etc

[dhlfh]

yeh lennox was so overrated that bowe was terrified of him,lewis knocked him out in the olympics and in the pro's he ducked lewis,threw his title in the trash rather than face him...

[irishrover1967]

you bullshitting cunt go fuck yourself the one person that done the ducking was lewis

[dhlfh]

Ok..Lewis was meant to fight bowe for the wbc title,bowe threw it in the trash rather than face lewis...lewis then knocked out razor ruddock for the title and bowe didnt even bother and try get his title back,lewis ko'd him in the olympics,thats why he didnt want to fight lewis..FACT..ok now try prove me wrong,go ahead..i bet u cant mate cause everything ive said is fact and if u disagree then u kno fuck all about boxing..

[irishrover1967]

i dont give a fuck about your facts bowe tried to get fights with lewis alot of times and lewis dodged him FACT so why should bowe give lewis a shot when he finnaly gets a title think about it you dickhead

[dhlfh]

ha........,u cant make up things and then pass them off as facts,u dont kno much about boxing so u prob shouldnt comment on boxing matters...,also if u are still unsure well then ask any boxing fan around the world about lewis and bowe and they will tell u what i said...,go and learn more about boxing and then come back and make comments..

[irishrover1967]

hahahah i dont know alot about boxing lol man i boxed for 8 years and also follow the sport with a great passion so dont give me that shit

[dhlfh]

if u follow with a great passion then how do u not kno that bowe ducked lewis,lewis was meant to fight the winner of holyfield and bowe..bowe won so they were meant to fight...bowe threw the wbc title in the bin rather than face lewis..fact...lewis then won it and bowe never once called lewis out to try win back his old title,lewis knocked him out in the amatuers so he was hardly gonna be afraid of him...,every boxing fan knows this...,u cant even back up your claims,u hav lost the debate...

[SVERIGUE75]

ey dhlfh bowe never ducked anyone...i agree with rover ..why don't you go and suck lewis dick..

[dulcechristo]

there is a post on here by dcamateur of the lewis bowe olympic final. watch the ref keep jumping in and warning bowe for ducking punches. it was really wierd, especially after bowe cranks lewis with an upercut and lewis was about to fall on his face. the ref jumps in and warns bowe for ducking. bowe doesn't even know why the fight is being stopped. he's not even hurt. he's winning the fight.

[lcvd1]

@dhlfh  I think this is true. The only thing I feel a sour taste in my mind was when Lewis decided to retire rather thanfacing Klitschko again.

[cortezforever]

@lcvd1 lewis didn't want to end up like ali, good decision because that fight like ali vs foreman, a man can only take so much beatings.

[theretrogamerno1]

@dhlfh he didnt ko him

[dulcechristo]

i can post the video of that olympic gold medal fight if it isn't here but that is soooo stupid if you've seen it. bowe cranked lewis and lewis was lifting his legs up to work it out when the ref kept breaking the fighters up. bowe kept getting warned for bowing his head when ducking punches. the ref stopped the fight with bowe literally talking to him and not even stunned. "knock out" my ass. if you saw the fight you wouldn't say that. bowe was a better fighter than lewis.

[danielle850]

Two words..... Lennox Lewis

[BigSexy390]

i wouldnt say riddick bowe didnt have a punch he was a strongass puncher but he feared lewis because of the olympics lewis was just too much skill for him lewis was too much skill for any heavyweight of our era plain and simple. riddick was still a good fighter though.

[ericssson]

Boxing will Kill your brain

[liverpool80000seater]

Riddick

[liverpool80000seater]

Bowe great bloke

[ironman36]

he was HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD. you fuckin WANKER!

[liverpool80000seater]

ironman36 you filthy crackhead,

[adrianmcfarland]

what the fuck did he said at the end lol!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sushibaka69]

"Ok big guy, be good."

[titokenshamrock]

bowe sound bad here but if u watch his latest video in which he talk about peter and mccline.

bowe sound totally fine

[davisreardon]

sounds ok to me, a bit nasal, but not like hearns or Taylor. Hell Ali cant even speak anymore. Bowe sounds OK.

[69247]

The last 5 seconds or so he sounded completely retarded lol

[flyinghotwing]

ok its slurrin a bit but not like meldrick taylor, and bowe looks and sounds good in spite of the slur. i would rather be like that than sound very crips and clear and be an asshole

[BPMSmith]

Bartender, give me two shots of dementia, five shots of scotch drop an anvil on my head please. Bowe had better not fight anymore.

[Lovekanyewest]

lmao at lennox is all time greatest heavyweight,

I don't think Vitali the greatest ever fighter but is the greatest ever heavyweight.

However wladimir is the greatest ever fighter.

will u white american devil or uncle tom stop calling Ali his slave name.

that disespectful

[amensupremera]

Wladimir the greatest fighter ever???? Vitali greatest Heavyweight of all time???? Come on! What about Joe Louis, Jack Dempsey, Jack Johnson, Ali, Foreman, Holmes, Marciano

[preo2]

Can you say BRAIN DAMAGE?

[Firealinvader]

The greatest?Lennox?fuck off!!!what about foreman?Cassius Clay?SHUT UP!

[flyinghotwing]

sorry cassius clay was not the greatest, but muhammad ali was definitely the greatest

[ashliski]

Sounds like he has payed a price for boxing

[HowardPorter]

Bowe sounds dreadful. I hope they don't allow him to fight again.  He's a terrible waste of talent.

[flyinghotwing]

dreadful? he sounds nice to me, a good guy a happy guy, not like the other two monsters out of brownsville, zab judah and iron mike~!....so his speech is slurred a bit oh well, good thing he aint fighting...but dreadful is not the sound

[WZ912]

BULL S#@! Lennox Lewis took the WBC Belt out of a GARBAGE CAN! Raised it over his head like he won it in the ring. Bowe was the REAL CHAMP because he BEAT the REAL DEAL in the RING! Lewis should've taken the 40% cut like a CHALLENGER is supposed to do. He REFUSED he was GREEDY! Thee End

[Dmaclv]

i like watching him fight but i don't respect him at all. he REFUSED to fight the great lennox lewis, how can you respect him? he beat Holyfield twice okay but refusing to fight someone i would say is worse then losing to them.

[WZ912]

If that's the case how can you RESPECT Lewis he REFUSED to fight John Ruiz and was STRIPPED! Of the WBA Title. He REFUSED to fight Chris Byrd and was STRIPPED! Of the IBF Title. Then he REFUSED to give Vitali Klitchko a REMATCH and RETIRED! The GREAT LENNOX??? Good yes great? HELLLLLLLLL NO!

[Dmaclv]

ok your comparing Lennox Lewis to John Ruiz? so what we're really talking about are who were forces to be reckoned with. Lennox was the no.1 contender and the best fighter of the 90's, pretty sure if Riddick wanted respect he should've fought him. Now Byrd and Ruiz, you'd have to be a liar if you say that either of them could've beat Lewis. No way, I think everyone is with me on this assumption.

[TheBlackWesleySnipes]

he sounds awful, but i love that guy!

he's a true legend!

if he makes a comeback, he needs to come train down here with me and his buddy Kennedy "Tennesee" McKinney!

[immagonnarockayoua]

Bowe was awesome in his prime, but he sounds a little slurred now....

[nnnasss]

he looks like cedrik the entertainer now lol

[mperry8868]

bowe holyfield 4 on whose best at yankee stadium leetttss!!! what to see

[ProfRogers]

At many times during that interview Riddick sounded like he was speaking in a foreign language. He should not be fighting again, but sadly in this world money talks.

[californicator]

dude, this man clearly suffers from symptoms of severe frontal lobe damage. just listen to how he says "Commmeee erere no mo". "it gifs me the expereeeence to vight in a lawgge crowd" i remember how big daddy was before, and he wasn't like this. the interview after the 2nd golota fight showed how scrambled he was

[GHETTOWEAPON]

Si, su voz suena a tocado por los golpes. Pero recordad que el soportaba los golpes como pocos, al igual que Muhammad Ali, era un encajador asombroso, y eso tiene un precio.

Que duro era Bowe. Que grande!!!

[Oirish1985]

agreed. Bowe the man!

[TheReason77]

he is Still the man

[DeekayofLondon]

Fall? Fall? Chunk?

[popemalevolent]

He sounds like sloth from the goonies.

[sdotharris]

LMBAO!!!

[henry9261]

This is very sad. The fact that he's been licenced again is a disgrace.

[Lukeor]

He sounds punchy.

[norwhol]

you can really believe there's no damage there. the fact that he still wants to fight is disturbing.

[doctorlegg]

what a spas lol

[Gstring101]

He always talk like this. Many years ago some HW fighters who were in the ring sparring each other and they was calling out to Riddick hey " marbles " kind of making fun of him( like he was talking with marbles in his mouth ) " . then Bowe jumped in the ring with them both and , knocked em both out simultaneously one right after the other ! They both called him big daddy after that. Funny as hell !

[BazookaX3]

He didnt always talk this way there is footage out there listen to his interviews with the HBO telecast after his fight with Holyfield, The first fight

[Gstring101]

He has always talked like he has marbles in his mouth man all the back to the Olympics ! ..Bowe has since developed a deviated septum hence the nasally sounding moronic voice . but he have his faculties intact

[bigdavet99]

The sad thing is that people would likely pay to see two fighters who have no business being in the ring go at it for a fourth time.
