    How would the Bowe of the Holyfield I fight do against the Young of the Foreman fight?

    very good matchup... sorta undecided imo
    Young would have trouble finding the appropriate distance to fight Bowe, I can see Bowe trying to jab against Young but with Young picking and dodging most of the shots. On the inside Bowe would probably try to man handle Young and score, but even there Young would be awfully slipperly and hard to hit.
    I can't see either men stopping eachother so maybe Bowe takes a split desicion but looks very bad while doing it

    You do realize that Young wouldn't be stopped by Bowe or dominated

    My ultimate dream fight would be the one-shot KO artist Young vs. the slick and elusive SNV

    Same here. tbh Young's right cross against valuev's double punch is dynamite.

    :-(

    Okay.
    But seriously young would probably frustrate Bowe a lot :good
    Might even stun him with a snapping lead left hook that he used against Norton and Dokes.

    Young by clear decision. A faded Tony Tubbs pushed a fast approaching peak Bowe all the way. Movement was the key to beating Bowe,and a prime Jimmy had far more of it than a 1991 Tubbs. Young's jaw was also tough enought to absorb Riddick's best punches.

    Young could very well have beaten Bowe...at the very least he loses a decision and Bowe looks like ****.
