    Good. I'll take Schmeling with a full training camp. I reckon he'll see something.

    Loses both fights badly. Doesn't even have a puncher's chance.

    Depends on what kind of shape Bowe shows up in. If he shows up fat at 240+ he would get outworked and outpointed. In tip top shape around 220 Bowe most likely stops Schmeling.

    Lennox and Schemling is a 50/50 fight, since Lennox had a hard time with lighter mobile fighters and Lewis was aways vulnerable to fighters with a sneaky right hand. Also, Schemling had fast hands and was much quicker on his feet than any opponent Lennox faced as a pro.

    But, on the other hand Schmeling sometimes would mentally checkout and lay on the ropes, which got him killed against Louis (rematch) and Baer. If Lennox cuts him off and manages to trap him he’d give Schemling the beating of his life, since Lennox could punch very well from all angles.

    Lewis would be too good at controling the distance, he'd knock him out most likely.

    Bowe is an interesting case because he wouldn't be motivated for a fight against that much smaller opponent. This could cost him a close decision, as Schmeling was excellent boxer with great boxing IQ.

    I don't see Max coming out of either fight s winning.He could do slightly better against Bowe but still gets stopped in about 5
    Lewis ,in his attack /kill mode takes him out fast .

    He probably can hit as hard as Rahman or McCall.

    What makes you say that? I doubt he hits anywhere near as hard as Hasim Rahman.
