    Does he beat the first black heavyweight king?

    Johnson laughs Bowe into submission over 20 rounds.

    not even a darth vader octave level laugh either, just a high pitched wussie laugh.

    I'm leaning towards Big Daddy Bowe here, by brutal KO around the 10th. But Jack makes him work for it and picks him off at times, showing his skill. The ending would be sudden with Bowe slamming a massive right that drops Johnson to the canvas.

    Prime Johnson eats Bowe for lunch. Bowe impresses the lazy people. Bowe hated to train and usually just went through the motions.

    I think the referee would have to save Johnson from getting killed here

    That would be interesting. Holyfield was basically the same size as Johnson and he fought stupid fight, yet he did fairly well against Bowe. Johnson is smarter, though probably not as durable. Tough to say, but I can't see Bowe destroying him in early rounds like many here assume.

    It may be because he was dropped by Stanley Ketchel, who although a big puncher, was a middle weight fighting in the ring as a middle weight. Its not like he bulked up.
