    Lol, what rose colored glasses! Do you answer any of my questions, Dino? Did Wlad go life and death with Williamson? How about Vitali with Chisora?

    Moorer could never get a mauling Bowe off him, quick KO by Big Daddy, as a matter of fact I suspect that Moorer would shid bricks because he would be intimidated before the opening bell. Again, guaranteed KO by Bowe.

    I feel like Bowe wins this one. Moorer would hold his own but Bowe would be to much and would offset Moorer with his jab at long range and power shots on the inside. I think Bowe knocks Moorer down early but Moorer gets up and slows the pace down and is able to finish the fight. I'd look for Moorer to take some rounds with his boxing skills when Bowe isn't busy but overall Bowe carrying more of rounds being the aggressor and using his jab to back up Moorer. I'd expect it to be a fairly average fight.

    Terrible match up for Moorer. Riddick would walk him down and maul him. Bowe was much bigger, had a very solid jab, was a hard puncher, and could fight him from the outside and from the inside. Moorer was a very good boxer and carried some pop in his hands, but it wouldn't be enough to stop someone like Bowe from getting to him. Bowe by KO/TKO in 7 to 9 rounds.

    Bowe by stoppage. Probably an entertaining fight while it lasted.

    bowe was way too big with too much chin for moorer to stand in there very long with him.

    Moorer was too vulnerable for the kind of heat Bowe brings.

    I need to watch Bowe against some southpaws. Actually I think this is a tough fight stylistically for Bowe.
    Also Bowe rarely throws straight right hands, which is usually the primary weapon against southpaws.

    Also Bowe-Holy 3, 1st KD in round 8. Bowe countered Holy with straight right hand and dropped him. That punch hurt iron-chinned Holyfield worse than any other punch or combination in his 27 year-long pro career. Holy got up at 9, but was dropped again seconds later. Bowe had the power in his right hand.

    Bowe usually throws the overhand right.The straight right is needed against southpaws.

    Yes I know.

    He rarely threw straight right hand, but when he did, it was brutal for his opponents.

    Bowe would win but it would be probably by decision or late tko. Bowe never ever was a big puncher. I repeat.. NEVER EVER. he never was in the league of foreman,lewis, liston, tua, morrison shavers ,cooney etc in hitting power department.
