@@HarryHeath-pb6rvagreed. But he was a converted southpaw. Then again a lot of the great left hookers/jabbers were/are converted southpaws. Cotto, De La Hoya and even Tyson were all lefties.
Jesus this commentator was a bit harsh on Thomas. The dude struggled with some serious demons and he’s just trying to earn a living. He had the balls to accept a fight with Riddick Bowe and by this time was already known to be a killer. Man, Bowe was a marvel to watch at times!! His work ethic was 💩 but his skills are seriously scary for a man of his size. Those combos are so fluid and his uppercuts are of those grazing split eyebrow types.
Bowe….just imagine what could have been if he stayed disciplined and in-shape. I believe Bowe would have given Lewis a good fight, regardless of the winner, it would have been a good fight.
I don't snow y'all. Go back and Watch Ray Mercer verse Lennox Lewis. Mercer was getting in his a$$ most of the fight but Mercer never had a 5th/6th gear to finish fights. And Mercer was 5 or 6 inches then Lennox. Bowe is what 6'5'' or 6'6'' just like Lewis and was hard to put down and was relentless and through enough chain punches to hurt fools. I thinkBowe and Lennox would have been a great fight and Bowe might've even handled him if he was dedicated and in shape and in the right mind.
Two elite level talents whos out of the ring decisions led to their in the ring downfalls. Bowe with his diet and lack of discipline. Pinklon with the Heroin addiction, didn't get clean until just prior to his loss to Holyfield. By this point Pink, while sober, was worn out from his in the ring wars. Bowe, even in his prime showed plenty of vulnerability. He wasnt hard to hit. But usually overwhelmed his opponents with his excellent jab and in-fighting for a bigger man.
Well written and informative- I concur. Bowe trying to bs us that this is still a ‘ live pink’ as opposed to the shopworn one in reality here after years of drug abuse and beatings more recently , including the pretty horrific Tyson one . This is a long way from the pink who was masterful and motivated displaying his skills against Tim Witherspoon. Bowe was something special- agree , also add his uppercut as a special weapon of destruction. Still think a 100% Lewis would have beat him .. but what a fight !!
@@serenityinside1 The featherfisted McCall destroyed a 100% Lewis in the second round easily. Rahman the bum destroyed the 100% Lewis in the 5. round easily.Bowe was far better than McCall or Rahman.
Mike Tyson himself cites Pinklon Thomas as his toughest opponent, saying Thomas took 17 of his punches straight on the face with all of his power behind them, that is saying something about PT toughness.
Why didn't Riddick Bowe put Pinklon away right away? Bowe just kept dragging it on acting like if he was just so tired. He was still young and strong! He was 19-0 for crying out loud! It was pathetic!
Probably.. Bowe had the same issue Lennox and Hearns had where they would play with their food or fight down to the level of whatever inferior fighter they're against. But Bowe and Tyson were buddies and ducked each other intentionally

Good to have you back coach. Hope you've been ok

@@HarryHeath-pb6rv some people even said they hadn't seen a jab like his since sonny liston

I agree - the announcer was very hard on him, he was fighting a very tough young guy
Foot on his neck the whole time. It’s fine to give criticism, but damn
Thomas and his team deserved the criticism. Pathetic performance.
Thanks video. Bowe best my heavyweight 90s
Thanks for the video!!
Bowe….just imagine what could have been if he stayed disciplined and in-shape. I believe Bowe would have given Lewis a good fight, regardless of the winner, it would have been a good fight.
Facts I still think Lewis beats him on points
Bo would beat Lewis all things being even. Lewis lack the toughness.
Lewis would have taken bowe out very early....when Lewis has a point to prove and someone gets under his skin he usually obliterates them

No credit for Thomas here sadly. What was left of him, was used up in this fight
Never seen this fight wow
Thomas is like a drunken master
S.R.L. looking like a Boss. I like the throwback ring introductions
That hook Pinklon Thomas landed at the beginning of the second round was a really good shot. You know Bowe felt it, he started clowning.

Pinkon used cocain in that period.

It's a miracle that Pinklon Thomas was not knocked unconscious in that fight. Bowe was going easy on him.
Sugar Ray Leonard going full gigolo in the ring before the bout 😂
I believe Ref had a little too many hamburgers 😂
thomas past prime..
The commentary on this fight is a joke!
Stimulants will help keep you on your feet. Just like he did in the weaver fight
Very good

Tyson wasn't a one punch hitter anyway
If bowe had kept the form he had against holyfield he would of been a serious handful for anyone including tyson who i think bowe would of beaten.
This bout was a total disgrace. Thomas’s cornermen, the sleepy judge…. Shame on you guys👎🏻
Good win for Bowe
Terrible ref man
Listen to the Russian, Bow was really good. I think they're the best with Lewis.
What a dum ref
Bowe can miss,a true headhunter
His Honor, the _unimpeachable_ Marion Barry

What a snooze fest, Bowe had one too many cheeseburgers and Thomas smoked too much crack. Bowe should've gotten out of the way so he could fall.

Prime Riddick Bowe kos Tyson Fury.
Great refereeing…. Making sure everyone gets their moneys worth…😂
9 inches yall
Riddick Bowe would've beat Mike Tyson? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yes clearly look his fight against holyfield
@@rooyaomine213Sende Mikein Golotaya karsi verdigi mucadeleye bak derim
Easily, another good fighter Tyson avoided while fighting the Peter McNeelys.
Tyson easily knocked Thomas down and won by TKO.Big Daddy couldn't do likemanner.
Tommy Morrison knocked him out cold in 1 round
Bowe still young and learning, Tyson was at his peak.
Man that ring announcer is terrible
