    Bowe seems to be more skilled, but Foreman just hits so hard and Bowe is going to take a lot of big punches. Bowe lands some hard leather on Foreman as well, but it comes down to how well Bowe takes Foreman's power

    Foreman. I don’t rate Bowe that highly against skilled power-punchers that are at least close to his size.

    In the 90's? Bowe easily. Prime for prime? I would probably pick George.

    Bowe is too hittable for me and likes to slug on the inside exchanging punches.

    Bowe got away with that vs Holyfield I'm not sure he could get away with that vs a lethal puncher like Foreman.

    I wish we could have seen Bowe vs Foreman in the 90s. Bowe would TKO bald Foreman most likely but it would have answered a lot of questions for both guys and would be a fun scrap.

    Bowe just got hit too much. He’d **** Foreman off with his jab and strength early on, but ultimately he’d try to macho out and trade. Four rounds.

    The best Bowe beats the best Foreman for me. Old or young. Too fast, too dirty, too godamn natural to lose to those big, wide, powerful punches. Think about Ali with his back against the ropes then add proper power. He likely boxes old George, who is the best George in my opinion, and busts him up. He stops young George and UD old George
