Riddick Bowe Vs, Joe Frazier Prime for Prime?

Every time anyone matches Frazier against a more modern heavyweight it basically ends up in 'Foreman all over again'.

Let's clear this up:

1) Foreman was the most devastating natural puncher in the modern era.
2) The fight got stopped but Frazier kept getting up.
3) if the most natural puncher in the modern era couldn't make Frazier stay down... what the **** are any of these guys going to do when Joe is smokin' and breathing down their necks with constant pressure and brutal shots to head and body?

Bowe get's knocked out, and before he does, he learns a valuable lesson about how close to death you can get.

 

This would be a great fight to see. I think prime Frazier wins most of the time, but prime Bowe does possess the potential and ability-skills to win as well.

 

Dont let your mind wander. Its much too small to be left alone.:-(

 

Eddie Futch was no Bullshitter or Salesman ever..........and trained both.

His words not mine.........Bowe is a one of a kind talent if I can keep him on track and I wish I would be younger so I could be more forceful in making him a more special fighter than he already is.

Consequently he also was absolutely convinced that Bowe would put Fraziers head into the cheap seats, again his words not mine but I do agree, a motivated, conditioned focused by Eddie Futch trained Bowe is one mean tough skilled son of a ***** and down goes Frazier, there is no ****ing way he survives the distance.

 

Agreed on all counts. :good

 

You know zero about boxing.

 

I agree with this. Bowe by mid-round stoppage.

 

Wow common sense is alive on here still.^^^^^:good

 

^^^^^This says it all! At the trolls soon to follow me here...jab...cough....Wass... cough..seamus...cough..herol...cough....foxy....cough......:yep

 

^^^^This as well,how can anyone believe Frazier beats this big talent of the early 90's is beyond me? atsch

 

Joe Frazier isn't beating rid**** bowe.. Has nothing to do with who had the better wins between the two of them or how many times joe got up against foreman.. He'd be trying to swarm an outstanding infighter who's every punch would catch him while being up close and who incidentally had 6 inches in height and about 30 lbs in weight on him. Bowe would smother him in the clinches and had a chin who could take anything joe dishes out.. Could the same be said in reverse?? Bowe might not hit as hard as foreman but he hit plenty hard and what's to say he'd have to get Frazier out of there in two rounds ? Bowe was well capable of going the distance and could hammer on a man all night long - something I doubt he'd have to do with Frazier...

 

Exactly how I see it; great post.

 

This is what I thought 4 years ago.
