last time i saw him fight it was sad and that was a good while ago. he's pretty much punch drunk. he was one of the top fighters of his generation. the goloda fights were funny goloda kept hitting bowe in the nuts till they finally dqed him.

well surely the bowe tyson ii fight didn't help him any... after the douglas fight,,, people were brave with mike and forget that he was still a good fighter,,, not just a bully.  bowe took a 12 round beating,,, his corner had so much vas on him he looked like a albino wax figure...
the 1st fight bowe didn't do so hot either.  :-[

Arrested for kidnapping his wife and daughter , and taking them across state lines .
I believe he won the silver medal (USA) , and loss to Lennox Lewis who won the gold medal (Canada).

omg...I'll never forget his fight vs Ray Mercer. I thought this guy was going to die man.

Tommy had great power. Fk'd up about the HIV deal. If the story is legit, why hasn't this guy gotten some sort of re compensation...he was a good decent fighter and I'm sure he was making nice $$$$

I would call 3 losses a pretty sterling record..

Muhhammad Ali had more losses (5) then Tommy Gun

I actually Wiki'd him, and apparently this whole thing is still going on, nevada doesn't want to license him, they won't acknowledge the negative tests, plus this whole fiasco is getting a little weird with now implications of Morrison having tampered with the evidence and all this b.s
