Riddick Bowe

Well, there's one other fight before I hand it over to you to talk to us about some more fights on this notable mentions.

Riddick Bowe and Mike Tyson, both brought up in the Brownsville area of Brooklyn, New York, but I suppose it's just bad timing As the reason why these two never met.

During Tyson's prime years, Bowe was a green novice, and by the time Bowe was the heavyweight champ in '92, Tyson, well, he was being sent to prison, weren't he? And when Tyson was released in '95, Bowe was retired by 1996.

Yeah, so, what, it just one of them mismatches, innit, really.

Um, I think you, you don't even know when that could've happened.

I suppose when Bowe decided to come back.

Uh, but yeah, I, it's just...

What a fight that would've been.

If you fast forward from there, from that moment, you see sort of the downward trend of amateur boxing in the United States.

Yes, 1988 had Roy Jones and Riddick Bowe, but they weren't gold medalists.

Roy Jones got robbed.

92 had De La Hoya, who was a fighter, was amazing, fought everybody.

It's like, you know, when your dad would collect like VHS, like you'd have the cut, you know, the blank ones that go in and they record something.
