    Sharkey has a chance to outbox Riddick off the back foot. He bent well at the waste like Golota and was good at countering like Tubbs both gave Bowe all he could handle.

    Schmeling very smart, very accurate but not sure his size is large enough to see him through.

    Baer and Bowe would be a wild one I would go with Bowe.

    Louis ko's Bowe after giving him vicious beating. Bowe too open, Louis would be a faster harder hitting Holyfield

    Sharkey has the grit and toughness to make this interesting, close call. I would back Sharkey for the 2 out of 3.

    Schmeling is not good enough on the inside to trouble Bowe, he could really crack with the right and was also very learned boxer but would be at a disadvantage in a slugfest.

    Louis would smash Bowe up pretty bad, he was far to vicious and precise, Bowe could get sloppy and every time he made a mistake he would pay. Louis might get caught once and put down, but he survives and finishes Bowe around 9-10 rounds by KO.

    Max vs Bowe would be a dream match, I see Max and Bowe in a war, with Max giving Bowe to much to handle in a war of attrition. Baer had that incredible right that Bowe would suffer for and eventually it will slow Bowe down enough for Maxie to finish him. Close, but clear. UD or KO late.

    50/50 with Sharkey I'd probably put my money on Bowe
    Beats Schmeling
    Beats Baer 2/3 fights all fights are close
    Loses to Joe Louis by knockout but has mild success

    Louis in a very tough fight if Bowe is in top shape
