Classic Throwdown

I'm sitting in a bar watching an ESPN Classic broadcast of Bowe-Holyfield I, and the skills that Riddick Bowe is showing off are stunning. This version of Bowe had the talent and the chin to compete with any heavyweight who has ever lived. Tyson is rightly remembered as the greatest waste of talent in the last 25 years, but, although his downfall was less dramatic, Bowe's failure to do more with his career is almost as frustrating. 

Can't wait for the tenth round.
