Rid**** Bowe v Max Baer

I don't think Baer has the tools to trouble Bowe. Bowe struggled with sharp counter punchers like Tubbs and Mathis jr. as well as guys with fast hands and jabs, Golota and Holyfield. None of the above apply to Baer. Baer was a huge puncher that usually enjoyed a size advantage against an opponent but against Bowe he would be the smaller man. I feel Bowe could outbox Baer if he desired and if they decided to slug it out it would give Baer a better chance to win but I would still lean with Bowe.

 

One good right to the chin would make Bowe do an award winning chicken dance.

 

Max Baer was a fighter that you never knew which version of
"madcap Max showed up. The wild swinging Baer of the Carnera fight, or the older past peak Maxie who shortly before he retired
destroyed a terrific heavyweight prospect Irish Pat Comiskey with
one straight right cross...One thing for sure NO heavyweight had the charisma of Baer and NO heavyweight ever had a better
concrete set of whiskers...

 

Agree with all the above.

 

For me, Bowe is even more of an uncertain quantity than Baer.

 

Baer by KO. Consider the Golata fight.

 

Bowe by easy KO, Baer is small and weak in comparison, slower, with far lesser skills and without near the same heart for battle. I can't believe anyone is seriously picking Baer.

 

I wouldn't have liked to have taken the punches Baer took, but he did quit against Louis. Bowe might have had the few brain cells he had punched out of him but he never quit.

Baer ranks as much nicer guy to have a drink with though.

 

Bowe beats on him like he did to Jorge Gonzales and stops him ...

 

In fact the only puncher he fought close to Louis was Lewis in the 1988 Olympic final and he got put on ***** street momentarily. I know the amateurs is a different ball game to the pro ranks, but it's worth noting.

 

I think the best answer is which Baer shows up. Bowe was a big boy but got hit an awful lot, he took a good shot but I am not sure how many Baer wallops he could take. Like I said it all depends on which Baer shows up

 

It doesn't matter, Baer could have got up and quit, Bowe was semi conscious against Golota and kept getting up until his ***** imploded.
