	Riddick Bowe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Riddick Lamont Bowe (born August 10, 1967) is a boxer and former undisputed heavyweight champion.
		Bowe's great size (he was about 6'5 and although his weight varied wildly for bouts, it was usually at 230 pounds or more), and strength made him very difficult to fight, and the fact that we was unusually quick for such a large man made him nearly unbeatable, especially in his early career.
		Bowe seemed to dominate the early rounds, and the ailing Holyfield was struggling in the fight, a fight that commentator George Foreman was notably concerned about, and wished to be stopped.

		Bowe, clearly happy to be fighting again, knocked an outclassed Marcus Rhode down four times before the fight was finally stopped at 2:45 of the second round in a ring on a tribal reservation.
		Bowe appeared to be 30 pounds to 40 pounds heavier than he was during his first career, though there was no way of actually knowing.
		Bowe, released in April after serving 15 months in prison for kidnapping his ex-wife, won the heavyweight title in a brilliant fight against Holyfield in 1992, the first of three fights he would have with Holyfield that made him millions.

	Riddick Bowe vs. Billy Zumbrun (April 7, 2005)
		Bowe (42-1, 33 KO's) dwarfed the undersized heavyweight Zumbrun (17-6-1, 9 KO's) by a 5 1/2 -inch height advantage and his 52-pound weight dominance.
		Bowe scored repeatedly with his talented jab but he was in such poor condition that Zumbrun had the ex-champ trapped on the ropes and back on his heels several times.
		Bowe attempted to cover up but Zumbrun reloaded and connected with four more heavy blows that had his opponent gasping for air.

		Riddick Bowe, the former undisputed heavyweight champion, was released from federal prison yesterday near Cumberland, Md., after serving a 17-month sentence for kidnapping his first wife and their children at knifepoint from North Carolina in 1998.

		Bowe never regained his heavyweight crown and suffered two severe beatings at the hands of Andrew Golota, although Bowe got wins in both fights because Golota was disqualified for repeated low blows.

	Riddick bows out after 11 days of Marine boot camp
		Riddick Bowe has traded haymakers with some of the toughest men in the boxing ring.
		You'd think Bowe wouldn't need a visit to a Marine Corps training base to figure that discipline and the Devil Dogs is like a Mike Tyson left hook and the resulting thud of his opponent hitting the canvas.
		After Bowe's two lackluster performances against Golota and his increasing problems at making weight, "The Few" may be his chances left at another heavyweight title; "The Proud," his refusal to quit the ring in the face of declining skills; and "The Marines," still a dream unfulfilled.

	Bowe makes a risky return - The Washington Times: Sports - September 25, 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Bowe (40-1, 32 knockouts) should be OK in his return against perennial loser Marcus Rhode, a club fighter who has been knocked out in three of his last four fights.
		But Bowe, who was world champion from November 1992 to November 1993, is determined to move his comeback along quickly, with a goal of 15 fights in the next 18 months culminating with a shot at regaining the heavyweight championship.
		The fact Bowe is fighting at an Indian casino — the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, a place without the regulations and oversight of Nevada or other licensing bodies that deal regularly with major fights — would indicate some doubt that Bowe, 37, could pass the required tests to be licensed in those jurisdictions.
