ingo was a big massive guy and floyd flattened him size dosent matter. its the size of the fight in the dog not the size of the dog in the fight.
Ingo wasn't a "big massive guy" by any standards, he was 6'0 tall, & 194-206lbs when he faced Patterson. Well Bowe was a true warrior who always came to fight.
I´m a huge Patterson fan and while I think he could beat the Bowe of the 2nd Holy fight by decision, I doubt he could do the same against the Bowe of the first fight. He would get in his combinations and his speed would trouble Bowe but I think Bowe would get to him and win a decision.
Riddy Bowe as a superheavy-puncher is way too big, too tough, too strong And too powerful for Patterson. Patterson is a natural lightheavy with a fragile glass jaw, fact. :deal Liston showed haymaker uppercuts destroy Patterson v.quickly And Bowe had a mint killer uppercut. There are 3 early KO losses for Prime Patterson what make me pick Bowe by early demolition KO: 1956 Johansson TKO3 Patterson (Patterson down 7 times in third) :admin 1962 Liston KO1 Patterson 1963 Liston KO1 Patterson (Patterson down 3 times) Even in 1961 Johansson, Patterson was knocked down twice in the 1st round! :shock:
Bowe bombs him out of there. It might go awhile but eventually, Floyd goes. I wonder how he'd cope with those fouling tactics of Bowe--hitting after the bell/hitting on breaks/low blows/rabbit punches Bowe did? I don't think he does anything different and just hangs in there like a Coetzer until he gets stopped.
Lewis should've taken the "short-money" of $3million, which Newman offered, & Maloney rejected in '93. It would've been a career high payday to that point, & Lewis could've accepted it with the knowledge that, should he win, he'd be the one taking the lion's share of all combined purses from that point onwards, including in other Superfights such as a Bowe rematch. Hell, Bowe did sign to fight Lewis on HBO in Decemeber '94... but a certain Mr. McCall ruined that with his shockingly quick upset of Lennox in September of that year.
