I'm not sure it was either his confidence or work ethic. We all know the problems he has now bless him, and that started maybe as far back as the first Holyfield fight. After the first Holyfield fight, his prime was over IMO. Bowe would quite happily take 2 punches to hit an uppercut............and I think that caught up with him pretty quickly. He went on, and went on winning for so long because he was a natural generational talent.

Bowe seemed like a nice sort of guy outside of the ring but in the ring he was one bad dude especially if he was pissed off at the opponent! As for Gonzales, he was also a seriously bad dude. The punches he took were amazing. Lots of bullies go down easily when punched but not this guy. He just could not connect with his own punches. Big fellows both - They would easily take out Fury and Wilder!

Gonzales would not have a hope beating fury, lets be real, Gonzales bad stamina would cause him to gas out after 5 rounds, fury can do 12 rounds easy. I do agree Bowe would most likely take it to Fury break him down and finish him.... but Gonzales come on that would never happen.

Few things more satisfying than seeing a trash-talking goon get what's coming to him.

I remember that fight. But we often have these characters- or opposites - good and evil. Etc. Gonzales could have been a force, but the lack of stamina could explain why

I saw the second Bowe fight against Holyfield at my neighbor's house way back in the day (for those of you old enough to remember it, that was the one where the guy parachuted into the ring mid-fight). Everyone in the room (myself included) was SHOCKED when the judges gave the fight to Holyfield. As far as I'm concerned, Bowe went 3-0 against Holyfield but that's just my personal opinion.
